ISLE OF PUERTO RICO: NORIEGA JUMPS TO IWA PUERTO RICO AND MORE NEWS
By Jose M. Perez on 9/28/2008 9:15 AM
During IWA-PR TV show today there were
two major appearances that could help them gain momentum going into their next
big event "Golpe de Estado" next weekend in Bayamon, PR. The first one was
from former WWC "heel" manager Barrabas Sr. As some of you might remember,
earlier this year WWC dedicated a show to him where he was allegedly going to
"retire" due to health reasons, only to turn on Thunder & Lightning by having
"The Shane Twins" attack them. Well, today there was a video shown in which
Barrabas sends a message to Savio Vega, telling him that he will be in Puerto
Rico soon with his new "destruction machine" The Sheik (from D1PW in Florida).
Also, at the end of the show there was a short 30 second segment where Savio
Vega and Miguel Perez are discussing the message that Barrabas Sr has sent and
all of the sudden there is someone that comes in the room and tells them that
he is there to do business. When they turned around they looked surprised and
then the face of the person is shown and it is none other than the former WWC
Universal champion Noriega. And he did not show up empty handed, as he was
carrying a black bag with that we believe was the new WWC Universal title belt
which he won at WWC's Anniversary 2008 show a couple of months ago.
As I mentioned in my last column, I knew the names of the wrestlers involved,
but at the last minute I was told that the deal was not completed and they
were not sure if they were going to show the footage. There were two more
former Universal champions that were contacted but they did not mention their
names today. I have also been told that there is a former IWA champion that
is not currently working in the island that was contacted to make limited
appearances. I will definitely have more information in the next couple of
days and as always you will have it here first.
