Event history
The Mexican professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) first held a professional wrestling supercard called El Gran Desafío ("The Great Challenge") on July 2, 2009 in their home arena Arena Naucalpan. The main event featured IWRG-mainstay Dr. Cerebro against internationally known wrestler Juventud Guerrera in a best two-out-of-three falls Lucha de Apuestas, hair vs. hair match.[1] Three months later IWRG held another Gran Desafío show, this time titled El Gran Desafío Femenil – Sin Empate, Sin Indulto (Spanish for "The Great Women's Challenge – No draws, no reprieve") which featured a rare for IWRG women's wrestling main event as Flor Metálica defeated Atsuko Emoto in a Lucha de Apuestas match, forcing Emoto to have her hair shaved off.[1][2] the El Gran Desafío event returned in 2010, with the only Gran Desafío show not to be main evented by a Lucha de Apuestas match. Instead the main event was a double championship match as IWRG Intercontinental Lightweight Champion Dr. Cerebro defeated WWS World Welterweight Champion El Hijo del Diablo to become a double champion.[3] July 17, 2011 saw the 2011 Gran Desafío take place, with Oficial 911 defeating Multifacético in a mask vs. mask match . As a result of his loss, Multifacético was forced to unmask and reveal his real name.[4]
