Mario Mentasti provides an update on the wrestling scene in Argentina. Upcoming shows, new alliances and new promotions all on the horizon!

Argentina is a fertile ground for new talent, with a new wave of indie wrestlers growing each year, drawing more people locally, slowing expanding the audience for indie shows in the country.

A lot has changed since last time, new promotions have appeared, some old ones have become active again and there is an overabundance of events to see each month from really varied promotions with different styles and target audiences.

On April 24th, Legion Nueva Era Argentina continued a series of strong showings since the start of the year and the (so far) definitive return to live shows with crowds. This time around, the venue was the Club Riestra in Pompeya, Buenos Aires, like their previous show “Into the Legionverse.”

Legion Nueva Era Argentina returned with a vengeance after their excellent show earlier this month, “Bronca en el Mandril”, in last Sunday’s “Into the Legionverse.”

The show was situated in the Club Riestra, a first time location for Legion and they managed to fill the small theater to the brim with spectators hungry for the some of the best Argentina’s indie pro-wrestling circuit has to offer.

“Bronca en el Mandril” was the first event of Legion Nueva Era Argentina in 2022, and it was held in collaboration with “El Tope Suicida” a wrestling podcast in Argentina. The date was set and the location, the Mandril Theater in Buenos Aires, is a very well known location among underground circles of artists and designers.

The Argentinian wrestling scene has been on a tear recently, with many promotions being surprisingly active during 2021, in spite of the covid lockdown. And in every promotion there are Champions, this article will focus on short profiles of the current belt holders on the indie scene.

Legion Nueva Era Argentina closed the year with “The Last Supper” their last event until next year, in a night full of surprises and quite a heavy deal of violence.

Catch Argentino continued their Hat Trick of events this December on Sunday the 12th with Renegades, featuring the newest and arguably most powerful stable, Chenen Club, as the main highlight in the poster.
