Wellington-raised wrestler Niwa McIroy became a star in Mexico's iconic lucha libre scene not long after landing there in 2016. But earlier this year he was forced to put his international career on hold and head home to Lower Hutt due to Covid-19. However, the move has given him the opportunity to take on his childhood idol - the 200kg mountain man Adam Avalanche - in a massive match on November 28.
