Ninja Turtles fall on their first defense. Ofiicals first defense The first referee was taken out when it came down to 911 & Mike,, Mike had a visual pin, and a second referee turned up just in time for 911 to turn it around.

Second straight IWRG Tag Team title change with zero defenses. Oficials were last champions in 2014, or ten champions ago. Oficials retained theri titles, though I was confused about them being champions. I’m not 100% sure why IWRG has had so many police characters over the year. I did notice, reading thru the 1960s magazines, that original Arena Naucalpan owner Adolfo Moreno worked as a police detective.

Rush and Euforia face off again tonight in Puebla. It’s the strange teams of Rush, Vangellys and Villano IV versus Euforia, Kraneo, and Valiente. It probably won’t be good, but the same is true about the same show. Hijos del Inferino will walk thru a match against Niebla Roja, Stigma and Stuka. Trio Fantasia and Los Diabolicos rematch after the rudos cheated to win last week. The undercard includes a Halcon Suriano Jr. appearance. The show streams at 9 pm on YouTube.

  1. I thought the Oficials won the titles on 1/1/19 and the Turtles were the challengers. I may be wrong though.
