IWRG Junior de Juniors (Spanish for "IWRG Junior Juniors") was a major professional wrestling show produced and scripted by the Mexican Lucha libre promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) on February 6, 2011. The event was held in Arena Naucalpan, IWRG's home arena and the venue for the majority of their shows.
The focal point of the event was a tournament to determine the first ever holder of the IWRG Junior de Juniors Championship, a championship specifically for second or third generation luchadors. Bestia 666, Bobby Lee Jr., Carta Brava Jr., El Hijo de L.A. Park, El Hijo del Canek, El Hijo del Máscara Año 2000, El Hijo del Pirata Morgan, Kung Fu Jr., Trauma I and Ultramán Jr. – all second generation wrestlers – competed in the tournament which saw El Hijo del Pirata Morgan defeated El Hijo de L.A. Park in the finals to become the first IWRG Junior de Juniors champion. Beyond the 10 tournament matches the show included four additional matches.
Professional wrestling has been a generational tradition in lucha libre since its inception early in the 20th century, with many second- or third-generation wrestlers following in the footsteps of their fathers or mothers. Several lucha libre promotions honor those traditions, often with annual tournaments such as Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's La Copa Junior. The Naucalpan, State of Mexico-based International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) in 2011 created the IWRG Junior de Juniors Championship, a championship where only second- or third-generation wrestlers are allowed to wrestle for it. In addition to real-life second- or third-generation wrestlers there are a number of wrestlers who are presented as second- or third-generation wrestlers, normally masked wrestlers promoted as "Juniors". 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 Cien Caras Jr. who paid Cien Caras for the rights to use the name. The Junior de Juniors shows, as well as the majority of the IWRG shows in general was held in "Arena Naucalpan", owned by the promoters of IWRG and their main arena.
