Run by the son of Domenico Duce, Giovanni Duce (in his 50's). Legion in the 30's started with more of a push on boxing, just as the first generation was edging towards the wrestling matches.
Giovanni, however, pushed hard for the wrestling not to become a side show in and of itself, within the show he promoted. Keeping fights between two experienced fighters as opposed to a professional and a member of the crowd, as was the carnival draw for wrestling at that time.
Then of course The Depression took hold of the country, crippling the promotion, which forever pushed all wrestling matches into being staged. For a short amount of time shows where run in Latin America. Before the 40's, however, the doors had closed once again. Another generation lost, though it's influence was still far reaching.
