Guerra del Golfo (2016) (Spanish for "Gulf War") was a major lucha libre, or professional wrestling, event produced by the Mexican professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) that took place on April 17, 2016. The show was the ninth year in a row that IWRG has held a Guerra del Golfo show, which usually takes places in the early spring.
The eponymous Guerra del Golfo tournament consists of three matches in total, with two "qualifying matches", multi-man steel cage matches where the last person left in the cage is "punished" by advancing to the main event of the night. The two losers were then forced to wrestle inside the steel cage under Lucha de Apuestas, or "bet match", rules. Astro Jr. lost the last Guerra del Golfo cage match to Dr. Cerebro and thus had to remove his mask and reveal his real name as a result of the loss.
