Savio Vega\u2019s International Wrestling Association: Florida<\/strong> is ready<\/a> to have their first show in the sunshine state. The tapings will be produced by former WWF<\/strong> Superstar and previous owner of IWA PR<\/strong>, Savio Vega<\/strong>, and former TNA<\/strong>, IWA and WWC<\/strong> commentator Willie Urbina<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Previously, Savio Vega<\/strong> had tried the angle to bring back the IWA to Puerto Rico, but, as we stated previously, that was almost impossible. Vega decided to pack his bags and developed a new project in Florida\u00a0with his old friend Urbina that could deliver new stars – IWA Florida.<\/p>\n

Many of the talents chosen for the tapings have Puerto Rican heritage. The main names that jump out of the tapings are Oraculo<\/strong> and Serpentico<\/strong>. Both with Mecha Wolf 450<\/strong> and WWE<\/strong> Superstar Lince Dorado<\/strong>, they were part of the indie stable, Lucha World Order<\/em>. They brought agility, insane displays of aerial moves and great matches. Orcaulo is a great luchador, wrestling in The Crash Lucha Libre,<\/strong>\u00a0and Serpentico has recently doing everything, from NXT<\/strong> to IMPACT<\/strong>\u00a0Wrestling<\/strong> to Ring of Honor<\/strong>.

Other names that standout are former\u00a0World Wrestling Council<\/strong> Junior Heavyweight Champions Syler Andrews<\/strong> and Samuel Adams<\/strong>.
