The last show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2023/04/iwa-puerto-rico-zona-caliente-4272023.html

We see clips of the Harry William vs Niche feud.

Rumble Por La Copa Victor Quinones - Doom Patrol (Cold and Death Warrant) vs The Super Classics (Edrax and Hijo de Enigma) vs Supremacia del Pancracio (Jax Di Franco and Will de Windt) vs Johnny Blaze vs Ray Fonseca vs The Star Brothers vs Xavier Millet vs La Nueva Geracion (Jungle Z, Crowley, Zodiac, Azazel? and someone else) vs Vassago vs The Druken Powers(Kiko Piper, Excellent Savage and Pupe Hogan)

Death Warrant is in the white face paint and Cold/Death Cold has all the tattoos

Hijo del Enigma in the mask, Edrax in the black

Will de Windt is the bald guy, Jax di Franco is the guy in the glasses

Edrax hook kicks Cold then enzugiris him. Death Warrant foot chokes Enigma then Edrax death valley drivers Cold. Enigma comes off the 2nd rope and hits Warrant. Supremacia del Pancracio enter next. Edrax takes corner chops then is grabbed by Jax and chest clubbed. Johnny Blaze enters next and hits lariats then powerslams Cold. Ray Fonseca is next in, wearing a tie and a button down shirt without sleeves. He is a member of Tonos' crew. Ray takes a cutter from Blaze and is eliminated over the top rope.

Will hits a dropkick then Blaze throws him over the top for the elimination. Jax then throws Blaze over the top. The Star Brothers are next up and immediately through Jax over the top. Blaze and Jax then fight outside and roll on the ground. Xavier Millet, who I believe is Romeo's bodyguard and is a Fernando Tonos associate, is next in. Edrax dropkicks the Doom PAtrol in the corner and the Star Brothers take on Xaiver 2v1.

La Nueva Generacion is next in. They enter as a group of 5. I had thought they were only 3. Doom Patrol eliminates one of the Nueva Generacion, then another Nueva Generacion member is eliminated by Edrax and Enigma. The masked Vassago enters. Jungle Z tries to hit chest slaps on him but that just gets him mad. Vassago cutters him then throws him out. Crowley then goes over the top via Vassago. Zodiac then also gets sent over the top.

Vassago and Xavier Millet go face to face. They trade punches and chops then Xavier hits a big boot on him. Xavier tries to powerbomb him but they botch the spot where Vassago is supposed to headscissor him over the top. Xavier Millet is eliminated. Kiko Piper (actually it's Kiko Navarro) is in next, and he's wearing Roddy Piper's kilt and coming out to his music. Wizard acknowledges this and the face announcer says he's paying tribute to him. Vassago is eliminated by the Doom Patrol. Kiko flashes Cold by lifting up his kilt then Cold does the same. Kiko is then eliminated by the Doom Patrol.

The Doom Patrol eliminate Edrax and The Star Brothers eliminate Enigma. Macho Man Randy Savage's music hits and it's Excellent Mantel dressed up as him, eating a slim jim. Pupe Hogan then enters and that's Mantel's and Kiko's Drunken Express partner, Pupe Jackson. The announcer says they never seem to amaze him. They call them "The Drunken Powers".  Pupe and Mantel hit punches on their opponents and then pull The Star Brothers down over the top. The Drunken Powers then get hit by The Doom Patrol. Warrant and Savage are irish whipped into each other. Pupe gets hit with a punch from Cold and starts hulking up. He points at Cold and hits punches. Pupe hits the big boot then hits a legdrop on Cold. Pupe is thrown over the top, but he holds on and headscissors Cold over. Death Warrant then gets thrown over the top and the Drunken Powers aka the Drunken Express win it!

This was comedy done right here. Pupe and Mantel are goofy people and it's believable that they would try to mimic other wrestlers. As for the battle royale, it was fun. They kept people coming and out and the match never really slowed down.

The Drunken Express then do Hogan and Macho Man taunts with the Victor Quinones Cup.

They run down the card for the 4/29 show, which is happening the same day as this.

The Drunken xpress are interviewed. Pupe does a Hulk Hogan impersonation is Spanish which is hilarious. Mantel does a Macho Man impersonation and asks the announcer if she drinks beer. They said winning the cup will get them a shot at the tag titles and they do Macho Man spins then do the Mega Powers handshake. This was ridiculous and hysterical.

Boxing Match - Fernando "La Paja" Tonos with Ray Fonseca and Xavier Millet vs Rene "El Chulo" Santiago

 

Round 1 - Rene is an actual boxer and the current WBO Latino Light Flyweight champ, which is kind of like a regional title. They each try some punches and Tonos clinches him. Tonos takes some shots to the gut then clinches and gets in a bunch of cheap shots to the ribs. Fonseca gets on the apron to distract the ref and Tonos knees Rene in the crotch. Tonos then punches him and gets a knockdown. Rene complains to the ref. Tonos' mouthpiece falls out and they pour water on it and give it back to him.

Round 2 - Tonos gets a shot or two in and Rene knocks him down with a combo. Tonos is on dream street and making silly faces and loses via knockout. 

They help Tonos up but he just falls again as Rene has his hands raised. "Gonna Fly Now" from Rocky then plays in the background.

They could have gotten a little more out of this but it was what it should have been - Tonos cheating then getting his clock cleaned. They kept it short so it wouldn't drag or make Rene look bad.

We see clips of Nick Mercer and Mike Mendoza doing promos on each other.

Wizard Analiza

Wizard interviews Krystal. He says she is the women's champion of the world and is excited to have her. Krystal says it is an honor. Wizard said she was underestimated by many people. Krystal said true attitude was shown and that's skill and experience when she won the title. She said the people don't deserve to have a champ like her. Wizard says the fans aren't worthy of seeing her title belt.

La Gran Amenaza does a promo. He said tonight is the night and said he is now signed with the IWA. He says Manny Frno will see the best fighter in his life. He says he is nervous and his legs are shaking. He then starts to take off his mask and confirms he is Pedro Portillo III and the feed cuts out.

They have everyone talk over clips to hype up their matches to close the show.

Overall thoughts: We only had 2 matches here and both were fun. Pupe Jackson and Excellent Mantel were very funny impersonating Hogan and Macho Man and the boxing match was what it should have been.
