    I’m from Puerto Rico and didn’t know many of the details described in this video. I’m 26 and started watching WWE in December 2005, been hooked ver since. Before that, I used to love IWA, it was entertaining for a local product. My first event was a house show in june 2006 at the same arena they held NYR, it was sold out, and they always have good crowds when they come on tour. I’ll be there for SmackDown and Backlash, hopefully this translates to a fresh start for WWE and Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

    Puerto Rico is more well known as the place Wrestler Bruiser Brody was killed in 1988 ......... Brody died from stab wounds suffered backstage in the shower area of the locker room.........during a wrestling event in Puerto Rico. by José González, better known as Invader 1. A jury acquitted González of murder, ruling that González killed Brody in self-defense. Key witnesses to the killing did not give testimony at González' trial due to their summonses only being received after the trial had concluded.
