International Wrestling Revolution Group

In the fall of 1997 Miguel Nava, along with a large group of other wrestlers, left AAA and ended up working for rival promotion Promo Azteca. Nava used the ring character "Oro, Jr.", the same mask and tights as Orito but this time he competed in the regular division. During his debut for Promo Azteca he wore the "Super Nova" mask, but removed it to reveal the Oro, Jr. mask. After Promo Azteca folded Nava began working for a promotion out of Arena Neza, when that promotion became International Wrestling Revolution Group

 (IWRG) Nava was one of the regulars. In 1998 Nava lost the "Oro, Jr." mask after losing a Luchas de Apuestas match to Dr. Cerebro. After being unmasked he started work as "Mike Segura" and quickly earned the nickname "Suicida" due to his high risk dives out of the ring. On February 15, 2007 Segura teamed up with Dr. Cerebro and Cerebro Negro to win the IWRG Intercontinental Trios Championship

 from Hijo del Diablo, Fantasma de la Opera and Venero. The trio would defend the championship for 154 days before losing to the Escuadron de la Muerte team of Capitan Muerte, Cyborg Cop and Xibalba Shortly after the title loss Mike Segura disappeared from the IWRG, soon after an enmascarado called "Aeroman" made his debut with a style so close to Segura's that it was impossible to hide his true identity causing fans to chant "Suicida" during his matches. He briefly left IWRG to work for Desastre Total Ultraviolento (DTU) as Mike Segura, in DTU he won the DTU Extreme Championship from Aero Boy on February 2, 2008, holding it for 72 days before losing it to Paranoiko. In May 2009 an unmasked Mike Segura returned to IWRG with no mention of the Aeroman gimmick. On July 5, 2009 Mike Segura lost a Prison Fatal match to Avisman I and as a result had his hair shaved.
