Last week's show is here:https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/iwa-puerto-rico-impacto-total-5162026.html

We get some recaps of the Nihan/Vega/Banderas/Tonos situation. We then see Glamour Boy Shane's promo from last time.

We hear some audio clips of Pedro Portillo challenging Luis Perez to a match. Pedro challenged him to come into his ring again and meet him in a fair 1v1 fight.

We see clips from a show called Raymond Y Sus Amigos. Luis Perez is interviewed. He says he's blind but is an athlete. They talk about his judo background. Perez says in judo, they hold each other's gi until someone gets thrown or they fall in love. Perez calls Pedro Portillo III a coward. Perez says he doesn't know if he's accepting Pedro's challenge or not at IWA Legendmania, but he does end up challenging him. 

We then see some comedian in an outfit come out. He says he's the best wrestler. They pull out a mat and the comedian wants to show Perez how to wrestle. Perez STO's him and hip throws him. 

Pedro Portillo III comes out. The comedian tries to keep Perez away. Pedro pushes down the comedian and the comedian pushes back. Perez tells him to answer the challenge. Perez says he'll get his hands on him at Legendmania The crowd just kind of laughs at the whole thing.

Big Tito Lincoln throws a chair at El Gladiador Boricua in the back. He says he told him to stay out of his way. He then chokes him with a chair. He says if he or anyone else gets in his way, they know where to find him.

We see another Luis Perez interview. He says people are expecting great hings from him. He talks about his non-profit group. The interview asks him about Legendmania. He says he challenged Pedro Portillo III to a match and talk about how it came about with Pedro attacking him. Perez says we will see what he is made of and that he deserves respect. 

Pedro Portillo III comes in. Pedro talks about the differences between them and asks if he thinks he can beat him. Pedro says he's blind and says he can't see him but he will feel him. Pedro then slaps Perez. Pedro says he wanted the challenge and he's got it.

We see Big Tito Lincoln beating up Super Atomo in the back. He says he told him to stay out of his business. 

They replay the Mr. Iguana video where he talks about coming.

We get a video on El Mexica. He then does a video. He says Ricky Banderas won't be the only guy coming on 6/6 as he is too. He says he's the innovator of Chicago Strong Style. He says he's coming for Super Atomo's title.

Pedro Portillo III does a promo. He doesn't like being called an abuser. He says Luis Perez tried to draw a line between judo and wrestling. he says Perez is abusing his limitations. He says Perez is blind but has done things normal people haven't gotten to do by going overseas and repping PR. He says Perez cost him his title and Pedro has a bone to pick with him. 

Pedro says the challenge has been issued. He says he will write his name in golden letters and destroy him. He says Perez will find out who he is.

Savio Vega talks to Manu. He says Fernando Tonos do an injustice to him and Manu. Vega says they are upfront with all the truth in the world. He says Shane the Glamour Boy should be ashamed. He says he thought he moved on from wrestling. He says Ricky Banderas is facing Manu. He says Manu is a worthy champ who has what it takes to face anyone. He says Shane and Banderas are legends, but they will be left with a chip. Vega promises to leave them with a disgusting kick to the mouth. He says he will finish them off once and for all. Manu says Banderas is facing a man who has been working 12 years for this moment and is thirsty for blood. Manu tells Shane not to interfere as he doesn't know him and he says he will take him out if he gets in his way. Manu says they will take the IWA to where it is meant to be. Vega says the title is staying with them. 

Banderas says welcome to the world of El Mesias. He says there will be a new story that he will write. He says no matter what excuse El Dragon Nihan has, he swears that Nihan will face him. He says Savio Vega is on the same path. Ricky says the title Manu has will be his. Ricky says he's not alone as he has Glamour Boy Shane with him and he's his lifelong friend. He says Shane has always been with him in his worst moments. He says he will put an end to Vega and his people. He says there will be a new era on 6/6 whether Vega likes it or not. 

Glamour Boy Shane says it's time for Legendmania to close the show.

Overall thoughts: There were no new matches here which I haven't seen IWA do before. That's not exactly something I'd like to see repeated. They should have been able to give us something here since there were a few matches that haven't been aired. This was all about hyping up Legendmania with Luis Perez, Pedro Portillo, Manu, Ricky Banderas and Glamour Boy Shane. They did indeed hype that show up, but it wasn't must see TV. I wouldn't recommend this one since there was no wrestling here. I also won't be rating this since we had no matches.
