The 2000 Prisión Fatal (Spanish for "Deadly Prison") was a major lucha libre event produced and scripted by the Mexican International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) professional wrestling promotion on February 3, 2000. The 2000 Prisión Fatal show was the first confirmed IWRG show that used the name, with it becoming a regular event with the 2012 Prisión Fatal show. The main event was the eponymous Prisión Fatal Steel cage match where the last person remaining in the cage was forced to unmasked per the match stipulation.
Due to incomplete written records on the show only two matches have been confirmed on the show, including the 12-man steel cage match main event. The Prisión Fatal came down to tag team partners Rody and Burly (members of Los Super Payasos trio) who had to fight to keep their mask safe. In the end Burly escaped the cage and Rody had to unmask as a result.
The Mexican wrestling promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG, sometimes referred to as Grupo Internacional Revolución in Spanish) has a long-standing history of holding major event focused on 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. The first confirmed Lucha de Apuestas steel cage match took place in 1997, during the first year of IWRG's existence.
Starting in 2000, IWRG has on occasion promoted a variation of the steel cage match under the moniker Prisión Fatal ("Deadly Prison"). The Prisión Fatal name predates other IWRG steel cage match shows held by IWRG throughout the year, such as the IWRG Guerra del Golfo ("Gulf War"),IWRG Guerra de Sexos ("War of the Sexes"), or IWRG El Castillo del Terror ("The Tower of Terror") shows. The Prisión Fatal shows, as well as the majority of the IWRG shows in general, are held in Arena Naucalpan, owned by the promoters of IWRG and their main arena. The 2000 Prisión Fatal show was the first time that IWRG promoted a show under that name, and it was not used again until the 2012 Prisión Fatal show.
