The Copa Revolucionaria (Spanish for "Revolucionary Cup") was a professional wrestling major event, produced by the Mexico based International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) professional wrestling promotion. The event commemorated the start of the Mexican Revolution 100 years prior in 1911.[2]

The event took on November 20, 2011, at "Arena Naucalpan" in Naucalpan, State of Mexico, IWRG's main venue. The main event saw El Pantera defend the IWRG Rey del Ring Championship against Trauma I. The Copa in Copa Revolucionaria referred to the semi-main event match, a 16-man torneo cibernetico multi-man elimination match where the winner would be awarded the Copa Revolucionaria that was won by Apolo Estrada Jr. In the main event El Pantera successfully defended the IWRG Rey del Ring Championship against challenger Trauma I. The show featured three additional matches.

Production[]

Background[]

The Copa Revolutionaria is not to be mistaken for IWRG's recurring Guerra Revolucionaria ("The Revolutionary War") that IWRG held for the first time in 2009, becoming an annual show held by IWRG with the 2010 Guerra Revolucionaria. IWRG had already held their 2011 Guerra Revolucionaria, which meant that the Copa Revolucionaria was not intended to be a replacement for the normal Guerra Revolucionaria show.[3] The Guerra Revolucionaria events all featured a similar type main event, a multi-man battle royal where each eliminated wrestler remains at ringside as a lumberjack with a leather strap they can use on anyone who leaves the ring.[3] For the Copa Revolucionaria the type of match was changed into a 16-man Torneo Cibernetico ("Cyborg Tournament") elimination match, but eliminated wrestlers were still allowed to remain at ringside to act as Lumberjacks.[1]

Storylines[]

The event featured five professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed themselves 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 follow a series of tension-building events, which culminated in wrestling matches.
