We close out this feature by looking at two intermixed categories: the wrestlers of IWRG, and significant wrestlers who are not regulars in any promotion.
I’ve tried to follow the formula of Puebla and Guadalajara and distill down the IWRG list to those who work they’re regularly and don’t disappear when the TV (and the money from TV) does. It’s a bit iffy, and I realized that I still haven’t matched up the Oficials to the previous gimmicks (here or the wiki, come to think of it.) And we have the problem of two guys using the name Eragon at the same time for no particular reason. Did I ever tell you that, should I ever become National Commissioner of Lucha Libre, my first act would be create a national registry of licensed wrestlers and immediately prohibit anyone new from using the same name as an active/recently active wrestler? (ACT 2: one Hijo/Jr./II per gimmick. EVER.)
Anyway, what I have is what I have and that’s what we’ll go with. The Oficials strong run thru the year has given them high win percentage, unusually so for rudos. Local rudos seem to much better than average here, and I think it might because the outsiders usually are brought in as tecnicos and there’s quite a bit of rudo wins. Plus, the more experienced regulars here are almost all on the rudos side.

I did the indy stars list just to round everything out. There didn’t seem to be many trends you can pick out when there are either different bookers for each show, or the same booker (themselves) for most of them, and a higher percentage of matches may be missing here (don’t think I have anything in the database from the last Lucha Libre Spain/London shows.)
However, it becomes pretty obvious there is a pattern here after all – tecnicos win, rudos lose. Maybe they back off on doing a rudo cheap victories when there’s no sure second show to built to. Maybe it’s just random.
Worth noting Dr. Wagner’s match total – over 200, and he was booking his own schedule the last quarter of the year. The man gets around.
