The last Nuevos Temerarios lasted four matches before they started making changes (subbing Black Terry in.) This would be match 3 for the new crew. Can they beat the old record? By the way, if you can name the two non-Freyser members of the last Nuevo Temerarios, you’ve won this round of random IWRG trivia.
