She says Pierce is only in IWA as they saw her wrestling Escobar. She says she will return to IWA and challenges her to a title match at Summer Attitude.

Jose "El Mencho" Navarro vs Javier Bernal

This is in an empty arena. I think we are joining this in progress. Jose stalls outside. JB hits punches on him outside and throws him in. JB shoulders him over. Jose tries a leapfrog but JB gets his knees up on him. JB rolls him up for 2. JB running boots him and superkicks him on the apron.

JB goes for a slam and Jose comes down holding his knee. Jose then rakes JB's eyes over the ref. Jose running facekicks JB. Jsoe chokes him. Jose sits on his back with a chinlock. JB chops him and Jose lariats him for 2. JB sits on the 2nd rope and Jose kicks the 2nd buckle into his crotch. Jose neckbreakers him.

JB goes for a german, Jose grabs the ref and low blows JB. Jose grabs his boot to use on JB. Pupe Jackson comes out, grabs the boots and hits Jose with it. JB pins Jose.

Thoughts: It would have been a little better with a crowd but it was fine. Jose heeled it up, JB made his usual comeback and they furthered the Jose/Pupe program here. 

Savio Vega goes up to Super Atomo. Vega says Atomo needs to take off his mask and change his name. He says he will give him a new name. He says he shoul be called "The Dwarf". Vega tries to take the mask off. Atomo says he was authorized to wear this by Tonos and the original Atomo. He says he won't take the mask off for anyone. Vega says he will take the mask off one way or the other. Vega says he doesn't care what the others say. He says he's the top executive of IWA. He says he has 5 days to take the mask off and change his name. He says it's his way or Atomo is out on the street.

Barbie Boy is on the phone. He says he's Pablo from IWA and says he wanted to see if the person on the phone could help him. He says this person is friends with Pimpinella Escarlata. He says maybe AAA wrestlers are coming in and they have a shot at the World Tag Titles. He says he trusts Pimpi's word and says he knows this person is the right person. He says this person can't tell anyone as it's a big a surprise. The person agrees to team with Barbie Boy. He says he's sending the plane ticket now. He then celebrates.

Pupe Jackson vs August Artois

Pupe backs him up in the corner. Pupe hammerlocks him then is wristlocked.  Pupe side headlocks him and shoulders him over. Pupe armdrags him then dropkicks him. AA knees him in the face and neckbreakers him over the 2nd rope.

AA chokes him and chinlocks him. AA back elbows him. AA knee drops him for 2. AA snapmares him then cartwheel basement dropkicks him. AA chinlocks him. Pupe hits chops and AA rakes Pupe's eyes on the top rope. Pupe is sent into the corner and goes down.

Thoughts: It was average. Jose interfering wasn't too shocking. It could have used another big spot or two. I think this was August's debut so him getting a win is good

Savio Vega talks to El Dragon Nihan. He says he wants Nihan to finish him off and doesn't want Super Atomo to wrestle here anymore. He says to crush his soul. He tells him to forget about The Cup and says to have no mercy on him. He tells him to finish him.

Jose Navarro does a promo with a horse in a barn. He says Pupe Jackson is shameless and says he will finish him off at Summer Attitude. He calls him a piece of trash. he says he wants to make him suffer and calls him an insect. He says at Summer Attitude, he should put his wife in a pen (and calls her a cow). He says he will bury her and put an end to this.

JB double throat thrusts him and slams him. JB misses a 2nd rope legdrop. Ice hits punches and lariats. Ice atomic drops him and euros him. Ice uranage's him. JB powerslams him. JB knee drops him and pins him.

Thoughts: Blaze picked up a rare win here. It was acceptable enough but nothing too memorable. They didn't do anything real wild here.

Pedro Portillo III does a promo. He says he put out an open challenge for his title. He asks which wrestler will be thrown at him. He says there is no worthy wrestler who has the guts to face him. The video feed then cuts out and Mr. Iguana jumps on the video. He says La Yesca just found out that the IWA IC champ has an open challenge for his title.  He says Pedro is a cheater and he accepts his challenge. He says he's coming for the IC Title and says Pedro never wrestled anyone like him. 

Pedro then says the bait has been cast and says he's superior to Iguana. He says he will welcome him here and Iguana will fall. The says the challenge is accepted for Summer Attitude. 

Pupe Jackson does a promo. He says Jose Navarro betrayed him and threw away a 10 year team. He says every act has a consequence and he disrespected his wife. He says he broke into his ranch and gave him the beating of his life. He says they will have a barbed wire match at Summer Attitude and he will make him pay. He says he will bathe him in his blood and wrap him in the barbed wire. He says he brought out the monster and says let's see if he has the guts to face him. He says he will have no escape at summer Attitude.

Atomo ducks lock up's. He hits leg kicks. Drag throws him off the waistlock. Drag misses a corner charge and takes shots in the corner. Nihan clubs his back and chokes him. Nihan back elbows him. 

Nihan does a nerve hold. Atomo hits kicks and punches. Savio Vega trips Atomo. Nihan headbutts him down and Vega takes cheap shots on Atomo. Nihan foot chokes him then drops him with a shot. 

Nihan slams Atomo. Nihan facekicks Atomo over. Nihan goes for the pin but Vega tells him no. He wants him to pound on him more. Nihan does. Atomo comes off the 2nd rope and Nihan chokeslams him. Nihan tries to unmask him.

Nihan lifts the mask up a bit. The ref tries to stop Nihan. Nihan shoves then headbutts the ref.

Thoughts: I would assume Atomo won via DQ here due to Nihan headbutting the ref. This went as promised with Nihan trying to take the mask of Atomo and him beating down Atomo as ordered by Vega. It didn't go too long but what we got made sense.

Fernando Tonos then comes into the ring. Nihan then headbutts Tonos and knocks him out. More refs come in. Vegan and Nihan pound on Atomo. Nihan powerbombs Atomo. Vega then hits Atomo with his bat.

We gets clips of a Mesiah promo on Savio Vega and Manu.

Savio Vega and Manu do a promo. Vega says he has an example of how Puerto Ricans allow themselves to be crushed. He says Ricky Banderas and Shane stole the IWA Title from Manu because that's all they know how to do. He says the fans are junkies and morons for cheering someone against Manu, who has helped keep IWA afloat. He complains about Shane the Glamour Boy's referee work as he says he allowed Ricky to cheat and elbow dropped Manu. Vega says if Ricky has any honor, he should hand the title back over. Vega says he would feel terrible if he wont he way Ricky did. Vega says Manu is training 24/7 for Summer Attitude when he will beat up Ricky Banderas. Vega says he's coming for revenge. Manu says Ricky can say whatever he wants, but he knows Manu had him beaten. Manu says Shane won't hide behind a ref shirt and asks what he will do when Manu and Vega take back the IWA Title? Vega says they aren't here to play and will destroy the two of them.  

Shane the Glamour Boy and Ricky Banderas do a promo. Shane says they celebrated Ricky's 30 years in the business and he won the title. Ricky says he and Shane run the world together. Ricky says Vega and Manu better get ready as they will put an end to them whether they like it or not. 

Fernando Tonos is on the phone. He says he has something important to say on the person on the phone. He offers someone a chance to return to IWA. He says he thinks that person can help solve a problem with El Dragon Nihan. He asks if he can count on him to help. The person on the phone agrees. He tells the person not to say anything about this and tell no one. He tells him multiple times not to tell anyone and says he will make history again. 

Savio Vega then says it's his way or the hit the streets.

Overall thoughts: The matches were in an empty arena on this one, so there weren't any crowd reactions. That did affect the matches. Navarro/Bernal was fine. Artois/Pupe was average. Ice/Blaze was acceptable. Atomo/Nihan made sense but it had a DQ finish. We got a lot of build for IWA Summer Attitude and we have at least 2 mystery wrestlers coming in for it. They didn't have a great situation here as they had to tape this in front of an empty arena, but they made the best of it and it was better than not getting a show or any new matches at all. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was average to acceptable for the situation. I wouldn't recommend this one though.
