Guerra del Golfo (2005)

The 2005 Guerra del Golfo (Spanish for "Gulf War") was the first instance of the recurring IWRG Guerra del Golfo major event produced and scripted by the Mexican professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group ("IWRG"; sometimes referred to as Grupo Internacional Revolución in Mexico). The show, held on December 22, 2005 also commemorated the 28th Anniversary of Arena Naucalpan, IWRG's main venue. In this instance the "Gulf" referred to in the title is the Gulf of Mexico, not the Gulf War in the Persian Gulf.

The annual Guerra del Golfo main event consists of three matches in total, with two "qualifying matches", multi-man steel cage matches where the last person left in the cage advances to the main event of the night. The two losers would then be forced to wrestle inside the steel cage, with the loser of that match being forced to either take off their wrestling mask or have their hair shaved off under Lucha de Apuestas, or "bet match" rules, if they are unmasked. In the main event masked wrestler Nemesis defeated Ultra Mega, forcing him to unmask as a result. The undercard also saw Scorpio Jr. defeat Heavy Metal to win the IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship for the third time.
