The 2008 Guerra del Golfo (Spanish for "Gulf War") was a major professional wrestling event produced and scripted by the Mexican professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group ("IWRG"; sometimes referred to as Grupo Internacional Revolución in Mexico) on January 10, 2008. The 2008 version of the IWRG Guerra del Golfo was the second time overall IWRG used the name, and the beginning of it becoming an annual IWRG show.
The annual Guerra del Golfo main event consists of three matches in total, with two "qualifying matches", multi-man steel cage matches where the last person left in the cage advances to the main event of the night. The two losers would then be forced to wrestle inside the steel cage, with the loser of that match being forced to either take off their wrestling mask or have their hair shaved off under Lucha de Apuestas, or "bet match" rules, if they are unmasked. In the main event masked wrestler Oficial Fierro defeated Tortugillo Ninja I ("Ninja Turtle 1"), forcing him to unmask as a result. After the mask loss, he revealed that his birth name was Daniel Torres Ramírez. The show included three additional matches.
Starting as far back as 1997, the Mexican wrestling promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG; Sometimes referred to as Grupo Internacional Revolución in Spanish) has held several annual events where the main event was a multi-man steel cage match where the last wrestler left in the cage would be forced to either remove their wrestling mask or have their hair shaved off under Lucha de Apuestas, or "bet match", rules.
