Grupo Modelo, a financial backer of the AAA Lucha Libre World Cup professional wrestling tournament, shares what percentage of the Mexican beer market?
AAA Lucha Libre World Cup (2017) The Lucha Libre World Cup is an upcoming professional wrestling tournament organized by Mexican professional wrestling promotion Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) with the financial backing of the Grupo Modelo brewery, with Victoria Beer as the official sponsor. Being held on October 9 and 10, the tournament is set to be take place in Tokyo's Shin-Kiba 1st Ring and Korakuen Hall venues, marking the first time the tournament has been held outside of AAA's home country of Mexico. The 2017 edition of the tournament also marks the first to feature traditional two-man tag teams, as the previous tournaments had featured a number of three-man tag teams, referred to as "trios" in "Lucha Libre". The tournament will showcase teams representing numerous international promotions such as the Inoki Genome Federation (IGF), Lucha Underground, and Pro Wrestling Noah among others.
International Wrestling Revolution Group International Wrestling Revolution Group (Grupo Internacional Revolución in Spanish) is a Lucha Libre promotion based in Naucalpan, State of Mexico, Mexico. Founded in 1996 by Adolfo Moreno and since Moreno's death in late 2007 has been controlled by his sons Alfredo and Marco Moreno. IWRG has its own championships but like a lot of Mexican promotions recognize champions from other promotions, occasionally allowing them to defend those titles on IWRG shows. In recent times the company has tried to become a competitor to both Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion (AAA), acquiring a national television deal with TV Azteca and using a number of talent that have left CMLL or AAA to bolster their ranks and profile. IWRG's home base is Arena Naucalpan where the majority of their shows are held, though they have regularly promoted shows at other venues such as Arena Emiliano Zapata, Arena Xochimilco and Arena Neza.
