Production

Background

For many Lucha libre is a family tradition, with second, third and fourth-generation wrestlers competing over the years.[1] The Mexican professional wrestling company Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; "World Wrestling Council") features a number of relatives on their roster and have for decades held various tournaments based on family relationships. The most widely promoted tournament is the La Copa Junior, a tournament for second, or more, generation wrestlers competing.[2] In 1995, CMLL held a Second Generation Tag Team Tournament, where each team member was a second-generation wrestler, albeit not related to each other.[3]

Storylines

The Copa Dinastías tournament featured various professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[4]
