I have been so bored with wrestling lately. Japan is hit and miss. TNA is the Leonard Show. The WWE is just recycled pap.

Ring Of Homos makes no sense. Lucha has no current feuds.

But in Puerto Rico, IWA is so hot that tonight (Tueshere in LA) there was a full scale riot in Bayamon.

Tonight's show was the last of 3 celebrating Three Kings, a 3 day holiday. The previous two shows were sellouts. Tonight there was 10-14,000, with many more turned away, for a major angle involving a cage match and Vampiro, Ricky Banderas, and 2 other workers.

During the match a fight broke out amongst 500 or so fans. The workers stopped their match. Things got hotter in the audience as a large group of fans got one policeman separated from his group, and started putting the boots to him. Vamp and Banderas went over the cage, grabbed two chairs, and started busting up fans to save the cop. At one point Vamp took a fan's chairshot, and had his earlier bladejob opened wide hardway. By this point the riot squad was called and the show was ended.

There was a 3-5 camera shoot going on at Bayamon-hopefully this stuff will show up on tape shortly.

Vamp's new girlfriend, who had never been at a match before, was ringside. He said the riot sealed the deal.

Dutch Mantel will probably take credit for booking this.

The story I got from the Puerto Rican News website (I get their newsletter and the address escapes me right now. prwrestling.com, I think) is that one fan in a blue shirt threw something toward the ring. Security tried to eject a different fan (one wearing a white shirt), and his buddies all took offense to it and got into it with the security guard.

 

A mess no matter what actually happened.
