The 2012 Guerra de Familias (Spanish for "War of the Families") was a major lucha libre event produced and scripted by the Mexican International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) professional wrestling promotion in conjunction with Promocione Wagner on April 8, 2012. The show was held in Arena Naucalpan, Naucalpan, State of Mexico, which is IWRG's primary venue. The show was the first show promoted under the Guerra de Familias, with IWRG holding subsequent shows in later years.
IWRG joined up with the Dr. Wagner Jr.-owned Promociones Wagner for the show with all the main event competitors either being from the Wagner family or booked through Promociones Wagner. Dr. Wagner Jr. teamed up with his son El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., his brother Silver King teaming up with Silver King Jr., and AAA wrestler La Parka teaming up with his brother for the third team in the steel cage match. The Wagners won the match when El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. escaped the cage, leaving Silver King Jr. alone in the ring. The show featured four additional matches and included wrestlers from IWRG, AAA as well as wrestlers who work primarily on the Mexican independent circuit.
professional wrestling has been a generational tradition in Lucha libre since its inception early in the 20th century, with many second- and third-generation wrestlers following in their parents' footsteps. Several lucha libre promotions honor those traditions, often with annual tournaments such as Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's La Copa Junior. In addition to actual second- and third-generation wrestlers, lucha libre also has a number of wrestlers who are presented as second- and third-generation wrestlers by the promoters without actually being a second- or third-generation wrestler. 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. 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.
