Sin Piedad (2012) (Spanish for "No Mercy") is an upcoming an annual professional wrestling major event produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), which will take place on December 14, 2012 in Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico and wil replace CMLL's regular Friday night show Super Viernes ("Super Friday"). The 2012 Sin Piedad will be the eleventh event under that name that CMLL has promoted their last major show of the year, always held in December. The announced main event is the finals of the 2012 2012 La Copa Junior Tournament between La Sombra and Tama Tonga, both second generation wrestlers. The show will include five additional matches. The show will be the first major CMLL show promoted in Mexico since, the CMLL 67th Anniversary Show on September 29, 2000, to not feature a Luchas de Apuestas or bet match.[2][3]
Background
The event will feature professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines. Wrestlers portray either villains (referred to as "rudos" in Mexico) or fan favorites ("tecnicos" in Mexico) as they follow a series of tension-building events, which culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) started their annual 2012 La Copa Junior on their November 30, 2012 Super Viernes show, a tournament for second and third generation wrestlers. In Block A La Sombra defeated Volador, Jr., Ángel de Oro, Mephisto, La Máscara, Negro Casas, Máscara Dorada, Olímpico, Delta and Tiger to qualify for the final match at Sin Piedad.[4] His opponent will be determined at the December 7, 2012 Super Viernes show.[5] The following week's Super Viernes Show Tama Tonga won Block B's torneo cibernetico to earn a spot in the final match.[6] Tonga defeated Shocker, Maximo, Brazo de Plata, Guerrero Maya, Jr., Stuka, Jr., Dragón Rojo, Jr., El Felino, Misterioso, Jr. and Puma to win the block.[7] While not involved in a storyline feud with each other before the tournament La Sombra and Tama Tonga had faced off several times, including a tag team match in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) where Tonga and Tetsuya Naitō defeating La Sombra and Karl Anderson in April, 2012 during La Sombra's tour of NJPW.[8] Tonga came to Mexico in October for a "learning excursion", during which Tonga and La Sombra has been on opposite sides in several matches, although no singles matches before their Sin Piedad match.[9]
The fourth match on the card was announced as a "Lightning Match", a match which has only one fall instead of the traditional three falls and only have a 10 minute time limit. The match between Máscara Dorada and Averno was a direct result of the main event of the December 7, 2012 Super Viernes where Dorada teamed up with Diamante Azul and Rush to defeat Los Hijos del Averno ("The Sons of Hell"; Averno, Ephesto and Mephisto) with Máscara Dorada pinning Averno in the third and deciding fall.[7]
The second match of the night, featuring CMLL's female division had rivals Estrellita and Princesa Blanca on opposite sides. The two had been building a rivalry for several months, a rivalry that saw Estrellita end Princesa Blanca's 1,793 days run holding the Mexican National Women's Championship.[10] Both wrestlers made Luchas de Apuestas challenges after the match, verifying that the title change was not necessarily the end of their feud. The remaining matches were not created to further any specific existing storylines between the participants.

Reception
When the card was announced SuperLuchas Magazine writer Alex Ruiz Glez commented on the lack of a Luchas de Apuestas match for either masks or hair on the show. He stated that the Sin Piedad show was "usually more attractive" but did note that the La Copa Junior match and the "Lightning Match" could be good, but noted that the card appeared to be "No big deal", especially compared to the rival Guerra de Titanes show.[3]
