Revision as of 13:04, 18 December 2010
The La Copa Junior tournament is a CMLL event featuring second (at least) generation wrestlers. Worked relations have been included.
The Copa Junior tournament has been held four in CMLL's history.
| Year | #Participants | Winner | Runner Up |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1996 | 16 | Emilio Charles Jr. | Hector Garza |
| 2004 | 16 | Shocker | Dr. Wagner Jr. |
| 2005 | 16 | Dos Caras Jr. | Hector Garza |
| 2010 | 20 | Ongoing | |
The first three incarnations were held near the beginning of the year. Copa Junior returned in 2010 as an end of year tournament.
The forerunner to this tournament may have been the 1995 CMLL Second Generation Tag Team Tournament.
1996
The first (known) occurrence was in 1996. The 16 participants in the first tournament were Apolo Dantes, Dr. Wagner Jr., El Hijo del Gladiador, El Hijo del Santo, Emilio Charles Jr., Espectro Jr., Hector Garza, Humberto Garza Jr., Karloff Lagarde Jr., La Fiera, Mano Negra, Rambo, Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Scorpio Jr., Silver King and Shocker.
The tournament was held over two Arena Mexico shows. The first, on 02/23, contained 8 opening round matchups. The second show, on 03/01, featured an 8 man tournament to decide the winner.

2005
In 2005, the event was revived (though presented as a new concept) with the idea of making it a yearly event. This time, it was a (for the time) standard 16 man tournament over three weeks: two 8 man tournaments on January 22 (won by Shocker) and January 29 (Dr. Wagner Jr.), followed by the bracket winners meeting on February 4th.

2006
The 2006 version of the event was a one night, 16 man tournament. Dos Caras Jr. was ultimately the winner. Due to the format, no match lasted ten minutes, and nothing really came of the win.
