Biography
Adolfo Moreno was the owner of IWRG, Grupo Internacional Revolucion, a promotion based in Naucalpan, from its creation in 1996 to his death in 2007. Moreno had previously run in the arena (and the arena previous to Arena Naucalpan being built), and IWRG was a rebranding of the previous promotion and its belts.
A few hours ago, Adolfo “El Pirata” Moreno, former wrestler and founder of Arena Naucalpan, passed away. Moreno, one of the most fearless wrestlers of the late 1950s, transitioned from wrestling (which he combined with firefighting) to promoting wrestling after taking over the Lienzo Charro in Tlalnepantla. In 1962, he built his own arena, KO Algusto, which was demolished in 1977 to make way for the current Arena Naucalpan. His arenas were the training ground for many of the biggest stars of the 1980s and 1990s, such as Los Villanos and the Casas brothers. Arena Naucalpan has its 30th anniversary show scheduled for this Thursday.
In 1996, El Pirata Moreno and his sons, along with other promoters (such as Juan Herrera and Último Dragón), formed the International Wrestling Revolution Group, an organization created to govern its own championships. The acronym IWRG has identified the company ever since, and many mistakenly see that year as its beginning, ignoring its decades-long history.
In recent years, the work of promoting and managing the arena fell to El Pirata's sons: Marco, César, and Jorge, while the veteran wrestler would come to supervise and watch the matches, aided by his cane. A few weeks ago, Israel Velázquez told me that he had seen Don Adolfo looking very frail, more worn out. Last Saturday we learned that he was hospitalized, and today we learned that he had passed away.
The Super Luchas team sends its condolences to the Moreno family and prays for the repose of Don Adolfo “El Pirata” Moreno.
