Festival de las Máscaras (2017)

The Festival de las Máscaras (2017) (Spanish for "Festival of the Masks") was a major annual lucha libre event produced and scripted by the Mexican International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) professional wrestling promotion held on July 2, 2017. The show was held in Arena Naucalpan, Naucalpan, State of Mexico, which is IWRG's primary venue. For the 2017 event Bombero Infernal, Black Warrior, Cerebro Negro, Demonio Infernal, El Hijo del Diablo, Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Oficial 911, Oficial AK-47, Oficial Fierro, Veneno, and Villano IV all wore their masks again after having lost Luchas de Apuestas, or "bet matches", in the past and thus lost the rights to wear their mask. Others worked under a previous ring name, wearing the mask of their former alter ego such as Freelance (working as "Panterita"), Black Terry (as "Guerrero Maya Sr."), Oficial Factor and Oficial Spartan (as "Mega" and "Súper Mega") and Mike Segura (as "Orito")

Lucha libre legends Villano III and Villano V were honored prior to the main event, where Villano V Jr. was officially introduced. The son of Villano V had previously worked under the ring name "Kortiz" but was officially given the "Villano" name at this event. Afterwards Villano V Jr. teamed up with his cousin Villano III Jr. and his uncle Villano IV to defeat the trio of Negro Navarro, El Texano Jr., and Trauma II by disqualification. On the undercard Black Warrior defeated Carístico, the very man who had won Warrior's mask years prior. The show featured five additional matches.
