CLOSED UP?
According to PRWrestling.com, IWA co-owner Mario Savoldi closed the promotion's office and took all the equipment and the videotape library. Savio Vega and Miguel Perez, who are co-owners, found out during the week, and couldn't put on a new TV show so a rerun aired. There are shows scheduled this coming weekend but nobody knows about the future.
