Gladiadores


Peru's other pro wrestling promotion also takes place in Lima.  The promotion is called Gladiadores


The promotion was formed back in 2019 and is actually the newer group of the two active promotions in the country.  According to Cagematch, Jhoan Stambuk, Mansilla, Mingo, Rafael De Salamanca and Reptil are the co-owners.


The promotion has been very active having shows around once a month (now over 70 since 2019).  The majority of their shows are at the Danzak Arena, a small arena in the Surquillo area of Lima.


One of the owners, Mansilla, is one of the top wrestlers in the country.  At last check, he is the Gladiadores Gran Campeon Champion.  Currently, the tag team titles are vacant.


Every so often, this blogger will check the promotion Facebook page.  The Commissioner, Carmelo Duran really seems like a nice and fair guy but he always is having his hands full.


Other wrestlers who appear at Gladiadores shows include Ricky Valero, Alex Godfrey, Renzo Gamboa, Ian Muhlig, Kaiser, Farid, Caoz, the tag team - New Wave, Magno and Leon Negro to name a few.


Gladiadores is on Facebook and numerous Social Media outlets.  Their link is listed below.


In upcoming days, I will post on both Gladiadores and GLL Peru's next shows.  Please stay tuned.  Thank you.

GeneraXion Lucha Libre


A few months back while this blogger was thinking of doing a South America blog on wrestling, I received a Facebook message from a wrestler from Peru.


His wrestling name is J.O.C. and is a pro wrestler from Peru.  J.O.C. wrestles for a promotion known as GeneraXion Lucha Libre or GLL Peru for short.


This journalist has been fortunate to get to know wrestlers in South America as well as in Southeast Asia.  J.O.C. and I have gotten to know one another through social media.


J.O.C. has ambitions on becoming a WWE wrestler one day.  Certainly, there is nothing wrong with having a dream.  Some people may think it will never happen.  However, one never knows what could possibly happen going forward.  You never know until you try!  That has been my motto since being at a very young age,


This blogger enjoys watching J.O.C. on video.  Every time watching him in a match against his opponents, J.O.C. has improved.  He works hard at his craft, something that I believe everyone at GLL Peru do.  J.O.C. can also be found on Cagematch, something that is really cool.  Also, his last match early in the month was his first win.  That is a huge step for a young wrestler.


On to GeneraXion Lucha Libre, I really like this promotion.  The group is based out of Lima, Peru, the country's capital.  Lima, from seeing photos, is a beautiful city with a great heritage.


The promotion was founded in 2011.  There were very few shows during the early part of the decade but has really picked up in the last 10 years.  Many of their shows are outdoors at the Complejo Deportivo Rigel in San Miguel, a district in the Lima city limits.  From the shows that I've watched, they are definitely well attended and the fans who watch are having a great time!


Demonio Seven is one of the top wrestlers in Peru and is the GLL Hatun Auqui Latin America Champion.  Chavin, another top wrestler, is the Peruvian Television Champion.


The roster is filled with exciting wrestlers and this blogger enjoys all of them.  Besides JOC, Demonio Seven and Chavin, there are Prince Diego, Ricky Valero, Havok, Lee Shu, Razor Romero, Percy Callata, Paul Taylor, Barracuda, Ramses Darkstrike, Renzo, Slayer, Supay, Puro Hueso and Wolf.  If this blogger left out anyone, please message me and I will add them.  Everyone is important when doing a blog post on a promotion.    


Also, I must not forget Charlie Navarro who is the head of GLL Peru.  If I don't mention him, he may not allow me to a possible future show in Peru!


Also, I want to mention about, in my opinion, the greatest wrestler that came out of Peru in La Cobra.  He wrestled for the company for several years and had won four different titles in his career.      


GeneraXion Lucha Libre can be found on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and You Tube.  Soon, I will add GLL Peru on the PAGES section on this blog.

Welcome!

 


Welcome to Pro Wrestling - South America.


This blog has replaced Lucha Libre Latin America.


The blogger wasn't satisfied with the previous blog.  There were road bumps that were of my doing and felt it wasn't getting the traffic needed to be a successful one.


Also, this blogger vows to make the blog and the posts the best that, you the reader, the fans, wrestlers, staff and the promotions have to offer.  Please sit back and enjoy Pro Wrestling - South America!  Thank you.
