CMLL Second Generation Tag Team Tournament



Wrestling is a family tradition in Lucha libre, with a large number of second or even third-generation wrestlers following in the footsteps of their relatives. Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) held a tag team tournament on September 1, 1995, to pay homage to the wrestling families by holding a tournament for second or third-generation wrestlers. In a few cases the family relationship was not a blood relationship, but more of a storyline with the "Junior" wrestler either paying to use the name or being given the name by the "Senior". The winners got a trophy and no other tangible reward. The second-generation concept led to CMLL creating the La Copa Junior tournament in early 1996. The CMLL Second Generation Tag Team Tournament was won by the team of Apolo Dantés and Emilio Charles Jr.
