Arecibo's Ground Zero Wrestling started this year with a bit of controversy where the promotion's President Richard Rondon decided to rename GZW to EWA (Evolution Wrestling Alliance). That didn't sit well with GZW Owner: Demolition X, He believes that the promotion (GZW) is alive and well with the fact that their next upcoming event will be produced with Felix Perez Matias. They are also heading towards their upcoming Second Anniversary coming in April. Here is the video where Richard Rondon made the change eventually leading to the GZW vs. EWA War throughout the new year.
