How many of you were fans of Lucha Libre USA? I ask because the show debuted in Palm Springs, California, at the Agua Caliente Casino. The venue still hosts Lucha Libre presented by Masked Republic. The show efforted to blend Lucha Libre with the American style of wrestling. Which meant talents direct from Mexico, or recently released from either the WWE or Impact Wrestling. Then they would sprinkle in International Wrestlers and some homegrown talent. Rocky Romero, TJ Perkins, Amazing Kong, representing the Inland Empire. Even our close friend Lalo was part of the original announce team. Their last arena event in California took place at the Toyota Center in Ontario, Spring 2013. Yet, their final event was in Pomona, as part of the Rob Zombie "Great American Nightmare" in October of 2013. Solar defeated RJ Brewer for the Lucha Libre USA Championship. The championship would change hands minutes later with RJ Brewer becoming the last LLUSA Champion.

New Japan Strong is an off shoot of New Japan Pro Wrestling. NJPW had been flirting with the idea of running events in the United States going back as far as 2002. They blend homegrown #LADojo talent, with veteran independent wrestling talents, with stars from New Japan. The effect is a wrestling promotion, much bigger than most independents with top talent. NJStrong had been filming during the pandemic, but has started touring. It appears with the absence of NXT touring, that NJStrong will fill the gap. November 15th, the group came to Riverside Municipal Auditorium. The night was highlighted by #TeamFilthy's Tom Lawlor defending his championship. New Japan's next live event in California will be in Los Angeles, but with the turnout q few weeks back, we hope they return to Riverside, once again.
