>>7704369 (OP)IWA PR is the top promotion and WWC (Colon) is the 2nd biggest promotion. There's a 3rd promotion called LAWE that is gaining steam but is behind a paywall so I haven't seen it. There's then GZW (Orlando Colon), NOW and CWA. They are all smaller promotions but all of them except LAWE can be seen on youtube for free each week. Also, youtube has subtitles, so you can actually translate everything that is said. A lot of the guys work multiple promotions. Wrestling was super hot there in the 80's and during the Attitude Era, and a lot the guys from the late 90's are still around like Savio, Apollo, Invader, Thunder and Lightning and Chicano.
The island is very small as it only takes about 3 hours to get from end to end. The shows don't get that many fans as you go lower down the totem pole.
The wrestling is old school. There's not a lot of big bodybuilders or models. There's few women wrestlers. They do a mix of the Attitude and Territory Era's. There's lots of GM/Owner storylines but there's managers, tons of masked heels and faces who are good at the basics. There's tons of good punches thrown, lots of brawls and hardcore wrestling. They don't bleed as much though anymore, sadly.
There's very little coverage or fans in English speaking circles. Most of the talk is on facebook groups and most of the promotions use facebook as their promotional website. Meltzer doesn't care, so no one else in the US does either.
It's pretty good stuff, just it's hard sometimes because there's nobody to discuss it with. If you are going to watch anything, you want to watch IWA as they have the best production values and run lots of angles.
