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.
These are normally masked wrestlers promoted as "Juniors", on a few occasions billed as "El Hijo de" (Literally "The Son of") 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.
[3][4] Over the years the Mexican International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) has held various tournaments and shows to celebrate the role of family in lucha libre and even created a championship, the IWRG Junior de Juniors Championship, specifically for second or third-generation wrestlers.
In the Legado Final tournament tag teams made up of fathers and sons.
[10] In 2012 Danny Casas, himself a third-generation wrestler, replaced Ultraman Jr. as he teamed up with Ultraman and the storyline cousins Hijo de Máscara Año 2000 and Cien Caras Jr. competed in the tournament when Máscara Año 2000 was not able to make it to the show.
[10][11][12] Only three wrestlers, El Pantera, his son El Hijo del Pantera and Pirata Morgan have competed in all three Legado Final events held so far and have all participated in the actual Legado Final match itself.
