TVS Television Network Brings Back Its IWA Wrestling Franchise with GALLI Lucha at the Bakersfield Dome with an August 3 Event

TVS formed the IWA in 1975 as the first nationally televised wrestling show in the USA. The IWA was the first wrestling show to mix the American Professional Wrestling style with the Mexican Lucha Libre style. Mil Mascaras, the legendary Lucha Libre star from Mexico, became the IWA Champion. Today, the IWA has partnered with GALLI Lucha Libre in Chicago to create a national TV platform.
