IWA Puerto Rico Results from Bayamon, PR on May 16th 2009

–Xtreme Combat Division:
El Cuervo defeats Empio,Super Atomo & Vertigo by pinfall in a total spotfest. What is the Xtreme Combat Division? A collection of small, indy-level jobbers willing to do crazy spotfest for $25 a night.

–IWA Puerto Rican Title:
“The Rebel” Chris Joel defeats Kahagas/with Rico Casanova by pinfall to retain the title. Joel is looking stellar in the ring and on the mic and IWA should capitalize on his momentum. Typical big man vs little man match with Joel bumping around and finally getting the win with a school-boy rollup.

–IWA Caribbean Title:
Golden Boy defeats Ravishing Richard Rondon by pinfall to win the title. They continue to hype the feud between Richard and a newcomer named Gilbert who seems to be having issues with Rondon after an altercation at a gym. Gilbert interferes wearing a mask, Rondon gets distracted with him and takes off the mask to reveal Gilbert (of course) and Golden Boy capitalizes to win the belt. Golden Boy has also been stellar since returning to IWA and I hope he gets a big push this time around.

–Dominican Republic Tag Team Titles:
El Bacano & Eli Rodriguez defeat La Cruzz del Diablo by pinfall to retain the titles. Dean Ross interferes for the Dominicans and nails Cruzz with the flagpole, allowing Bacano to cover him and win the match. The Dominicans draw a lot of heat and now that they are defending the Dominican belts in Puerto Rico the heat has increased since they claim that those belts are more important than the IWA Puerto Rico belts.

–IWA Puerto Rico Tag Team Titles Tournament:
The Arabians defeat Lynn(Niche’s cousin)& El Niche by pinfall after interference from Raymond Zales.Three straight interference finishes! How original is that booking team….

–IWA Intercontinental Title:
Rick Stanley defeats Super Crazy by pinfall to win the belt after a low blow.

–Grudge Match:
Blitz defeats Noel Rodriguez by pinfall in a great match. Crowd was on their feet the whole time. After the bout Rondon & Stanley attack Blitz until Mr. Big runs in for the save.

– Special announcement that Ricky Banderas will be part of the IWA 10th Anniversary Show (which is the first time they actually hold an Anniversary Show) on July 18th 2009.

–Three-Way Dance: IWA Undisputed World Title:
“The Golden Latino” Joe Bravo defeats Chicano & ROH World Champion Jerry Lynn by pinfall to retain the title. Bravo disposed of Lynn and pinned Chicano after his DDT to retain the belt. Another great match.

–Brother vs Brother Family War:
Hombre Dinamita (Savio Vega under the TNT character, but WWC owns the TNT name so he goes by “Dynamite Man” instead) vs Dennis Rivera went to double DQ. This was an absolute war. Vega used the TNT character to show how serious he was about hurting his brother for all the has done. TNT is basically a Great Muta clone, with paint, mist and everything. The finish has Vega going ballistic and mauling Rivera in the corner. The ref tries to stop him, but he tosses the ref. A second ref comes in, but Rivera is the one to toss him out. Both men trade blows like crazy until officials and Savio’s family come out to stop the contest. Dennis leaves the ringside area as The Dominicans run in to attack Savio in front of his family. Savio is getting massacred as someone from the family brings out Dennis, who refuses to help Savio and leaves. Savio’s mom hurries backstage and pleads with Dennis, who comes back out armed with a kendo stick and cleans house to a loud pop. Dennis calls for the mic and says that he and Savio don’t see eye to eye, but he is his flesh and blood and no one else is going to hurt him. Quasi-face turn for Dennis? Noel Rodriguez is watching from the second floor and looks none too happy about seeing Savio and Dennis reunite. Is this the end of the Savio-Dennis feud? Is Team Malice (Dennis and Noel) oficially over? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT!

Great show top to bottom from IWA here.
