For years Puerto Rico was a hotbed of wreslting much like Japan and the "ringleader" was Carlos Colon was THE legend on the island and ran the promotion. He spent years as the Universal Champion and contender for the NWA World Title. He had red hot fueds with Abdullah the Butcher, King Kong Brody and in this video Stan Hansen. The quality is a little suspect but you can see that the crowd loved Carlos and getting blood early was a Carlos Colon trademark.
The end of Puerto Rico as a must go destination for American wrestlers was the murder of King Kong Brody and the following sham of a trial of the assailant.
