La Guerra de Familias (2013) (Spanish for "War of the Families") was a professional wrestling major event, produced by the Mexico based International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) professional wrestling promotion. The event took on March 31, 2013, at "Arena Naucalpan" in Naucalpan, State of Mexico, IWRG's main venue. The focal point of the event was a four team tag team tournament between four "families".
The event featured seven professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers, where some were involved in pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines and others simply put together by the matchmakers without a backstory. Being a professional wrestling event matches are not won legitimately through athletic competition; they are instead won via predetermined outcomes to the matches that is kept secret from the general public. Wrestlers portray either heels (the bad guys, referred to as Rudos in Mexico) or faces (fan favorites or Técnicos in Mexico).
The Guerra de Familias tournament paid respect to the fact that wrestling is a family tradition in Lucha libre, with a large number of second and third generation wrestlers following the footsteps of their relatives and becoming wrestlers themselves. For the tournament IWRG's definition of "Family" included by actual blood relationship, storyline family relationship and one team where the team name included the word "Family". Los Traumas (Trauma I and Trauma II) were legitimately related to each other, both sons of wrestler Negro Navarro and had been a regular tag team since 2002. wrestlers Heavy Metal and Danny Casas represented the "Casas Family", although it has never been officially confirmed if Danny Casas is an actual member of the family or if it is a fictional ring name he is using. The Los Junior Dinamitas team of Cien Caras, Jr. and Hijo de Máscara Año 2000 were not actually related although in the fictional storylines of Lucha Libre they were supposed to be cousins, as Hijo de Máscara Año 2000 is the son of Máscara Año 2000 while Cien Caras, Jr. paid Cien Caras for the use of the character but is not related to him. The fourth team represented a group called La Familia de Tijuana ("The Family from Tijuana"), but Eterno and Mosco X-Fly are not related, nor did they promote them as actually being related. IWRG did not put a specific prize up for the winner of the tournament nor promoting it as the winners would receive a match for the IWRG Intercontinental Tag Team Championship, especially since Trauma I held the championship with his father at that point in time.
