Hello! Welcome to another
report directly from Puerto Rico where
the action never stops.
During the last couple of weeks, action
went wild and crazy on both big local
companies, the WWC and the IWA. But
let’s go to the news.
WORLD WRESTLING COUNCIL
In my previous report, I reported that
Carlos Colon, our local wrestling legend,
was the TV Title holder. During the
match he won the title, former champion
Ray Gonzalez intended to blind Carlos
with fire, but Carlos saw him and kicked
the ball of fire into Ray’s face,
burning it. González was so mad
that he, wearing a mask to hide his
burned face, demanded a match for the
title where he put his hair as a way
to get the title show. He was so smart
that also asked that during the match
he wanted a special guest referee.
On TV was hyped strong that Invader
1 would be the referee. On the night
of the event the referee was presented.
It wasn’t Invader as everybody
thought. It was a newcomer named Yunque.
Yunque played an important key as he
ended being a heel referee and caused
that Colón lost the title just
a week after winning it. So now, Ray
González is the TV champion.
Rico Suave lost his Caribbean Title
against Ricky Santana. The referee was
knocked and Wilfredo Alejandro, Rico’s
dressing room partner, entered and pass
the ‘amansaguapo’ (a hardwood)
to Rico. But Santana managed and blinded
Alejandro and a blinded Alejandro rock
buttoned Suave and made his own friend
an easy prey to a more experienced Santana,
who just covered Suave for the win.
Konnan returned this past weekend and
along with Carly Colón, the tag
team champions, lost the match, but
not the titles, to former champions
Thunder & Lightning. An accident
where Stacey Colón, manager of
Carly and Konnan, get knocked out by
accident, was a cause of Konnan madness
because he carried her out to the dressing
room and returned back with a shovel
to attack Thunder & Lightning with
it causing the dq. A rematch was scheduled
soon.
Eddie Colón has successfully
retained the Junior Heavyweight Title
to Mr. Casanova, although Casanova has
tried hard to win the title. Ray González
seems to be interested in getting Eddie
Colón to his stable as he watched
this match seated next to the ring and
an opportunity to attack Eddie was there
and he simply watches the action and
animated Eddie to continue the match.
A member of the Colón family
to turn against it? Let’s see what
happens next.
Joe Don Smith has introduced a new
team to the WWC scene. They are The
Reggaetons. Who are they? They are the
world famous Headhunters. At least one
was in Puerto Rico last week as one
of them is currently working Mexico.
The one presented there seems to lose
more than 50 pounds as he is suffering
from diabetes. Haven’t seen them
yet on TV as they debuted this past
weekend.
Other regulars that continue on WWC
are The Super Gladiators, Bronco, Mohammed
Hussein and several others.
INTERNATIONAL WRESTLING ASSOCIATION
Primo Carnero lost his IWA Heavyweight
Title to Ricky Banderas two weeks ago.
Savio Vega was so mad that he fired
Carnero. Banderas have been working
hard to get the title from Carnero that
he faced Apolo several weeks ago to
be the number one contender for the
title.
The Hardcore title has changed hands
two weeks ago. Ozzie came to a match
as champion. Huracán Castillo
defeated him and when celebrating his
win was attacked by Super Crazy, who
won the title from him with the 24 hours
seven days rule. Anarchy came and after
a brief moment defeated Super Crazy.
Anarchy left the area and in the front
of the dressing room curtains was attacked
by Agente Bruno, who pinned him and
is actually the hardcore champion.
Stefano still the Junior champion and
has his feud with the IWA’s referee
Pelayito Vazquez, with who had worked
on several lumberjacks matches during
the last two weeks. To this feud Eric
Alexander and Chicano has also taken
part helping them.
Shane seems to be turning heel as he
just turned from the typical celebration
the babyface group does after their
matches. Ricky Banderas, Castillo, Anarchy,
Super Mark, among others, always celebrate
their victory at the end of the show
doing the fist salute that Los Boricuas
did in WWE. But during the last two
weeks Shane has not done it.
Shane and Skull tried to win the tag
team title two weeks ago but Skull turned
on Shane and attacked him. Now these
two former friends are feuding each
other.
Savio Vega’s reign as IWA’s
General Manager seems to coming to an
end as IWA’s owner Victor Quiñones
and his lawyers seem to found a loop
on Savio’s contract that gave him
the IWA’s power.
The promotion will have his next big
tour named APOCALIPSIS in mid July.
Main show will be on Roberto Clemente
Stadium at Carolina.
Starr Corporation, Chicky Starr and
Victor the Bodyguard are still the tag
team campions. Victor’s brother
Angel is the manager of The United Nations,
a team represented by New Zealand and
Mexico with Ozzie and Super Crazy. But
this team had several altercation between
their member, all because Super Crazy
caused Ozzie to lost the hardcore title
to Huracán Castillo.
The female presence is a fact in IWA.
Savio’s Vega personal secretary
Abriela (secretary? She doesn’t
know how to do a secretary job...) was
attacked several times by former Savio’s
fiancee, Habana, all when Abriela attacked
Savio’s enemies recently.
Miguelito Perez does not want Habana
on his People’s Army although all
other members already accepted her.
Why? Only Perez knows...
