WWC Aniversario
Aniversario is a professional wrestling card that is held annually by Puerto Rican promotion World Wrestling Council to commemorate its anniversary. The first show was held in 1983 to mark the tenth anniversary of WWC's creation in 1973. Various WWC championships are defending at the event, and the 1986 event featured two defenses of the National Wrestling Alliance's NWA World Heavyweight Championship. The show has also been dedicated to various former professional wrestling including Bruiser Brody in 2007 and Hugo Savinovich in 2009. In 2017 WWC did not held the Aniversario show due to the path of Hurricane Maria thru Puerto Rico.
