Production

Background

Professional wrestling has been a generational tradition in Lucha libre since its inception early in the 20th century, with a great deal of second or third-generation wrestlers following in the footsteps of their fathers or mothers. [2] Several lucha libre promotions honor those traditions, often with annual tournaments such as Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's La Copa Junior . [3] The Naucalpan, State of Mexico based International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) has held a Legado Final (Spanish for "Final Legacy") on an annual basis since 2011, with the 2015 show marking the fifth time they used the name. The Legado Final show, as well as the majority of the IWRG shows in general will be held in "Arena Naucalpan", owned by the promoters of IWRG. In addition to legitimate second-generation wrestlers there are a number of wrestlers who are presented as second or third-generation wrestlers, normally masked wrestlers promoted as "Juniors". These wrestlers normally pay a royalty or fee for the use of the name, using the name of an established star to get attention from fans and promoters. [2] Examples of such instances of fictional family relationships include Arturo Beristain, also known as El Hijo del Gladiador ("The Son of El Gladiador") who was not related to the original El Gladiador, or El Hijo de Cien Caras who paid Cien Caras for the rights to use the name. [4] [5]

Storylines

The event featured four professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers, where some were involved in pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines and others simply put together by the matchmakers without a backstory. Being a professional wrestling event matches are not won legitimately through athletic competition; they are instead won via predetermined outcomes to the matches that is kept secret from the general public. Wrestlers portray either heels (the bad guys, referred to as Rudos in Mexico) or faces (fan favorites or Técnicos in Mexico).

The main event match, the Legado Final tournament celebrated the fact that lucha libre is a family tradition in Mexico, with many second or third-generation wrestlers competing. [2] The Legado Final match rules dictated that the father of each team would compete in a match where there were two wrestlers in the ring and the remaining four were on the outside to be tagged in during the match. When someone was eliminated, by pinfall, submission, disqualification or count out the son would enter the match. The last person remaining in the match after all 10 or 11 wrestlers were eliminated would be declared the victor along with his team mate. [1] Lucha Libre has a long of storyline, or fictional family relationships, often when a young wrestler either pays for, or is given, the ring name of a well established wrestlers, such as Cien Caras, Jr. actually paying Cien Caras for the use of the name. [2] Officially wrestling promotions do not hint at the fact that not all "family relations" are not real, keeping the illusion of the characters. For the 2011 Legado Final tournament IWRG booked six father/son teams that actually, legitimately were blood relations to each other. The six teams were El Brazo and El Hijo del Brazo, Pirata Morgan and El Hijo de Pirata Morgan, Pantera and El Hijo del Pantera, Negro Navarro and Trauma I, Máscara Año 2000 and Máscara Año 2000, Jr. and El Solar and El Hijo del Solar. [1] [6] [7] On the night of the show El Hijo del Solar was either not in the arena, or was unable to compete and was replaced by another second-generation wrestler Fresero, Jr. who would team up with El Solar for the match.
