New Wrestling Stars (NWS), based in San Sebastián, Puerto Rico, was launched in January 2005 by Dr. Cesar Vargas. The first shows took place in the southwest area of Puerto Rico. NWS included some ex-IWA & WWC wrestlers on their roster including some independent wrestlers like Shane Sewell, Bison Smith, Los Adorables, Jose Chapparo, El Profe, Anarchy, Stefano, "Superstar" Ash Rubinsky (Bull Bronsky), Livewire, Los Bad Guys, Lucky 7, Bolo The Red Bulldog (Luis Negron), Erick Scorpion, Chicky Starr, Huracan Castillo, El Nene, Just Perfect, El Diamante among others.
The promotion had a segment called "NWS Report" on fellow promotion World Wrestling Council’s "Superestrellas de la Lucha Libre" until both companies WWC and NWS cancelled their agreement. Due to this the Heavyweight Champion at the time Tim Arson left the title vacant because of his contract with the WWC. So it was on August 5, 2006 where a mysterious man in mask named "Mr. GPR", won the Heavyweight Championship in a Rumble Ladder Match in San Sebastián, Puerto Rico; later the masked man was revealed to be non other than the former champion El Diamante.
