It's been a long time since The Colons have been on WWE television, but one of them has just won a title - and will defend it against, of all people, his tag team partner and cousin.
Epico won the WWC Universal Championship (that's World Wrestling Council, just for clarification) in Puerto Rico, over the weekend after defeating “The Precious One” Gilbert - and he's now set to defend it against Primo.
The WWC was founded by four men - one of which being Carlos Colon, Sr., the father of Primo and uncle of Epico, and another being the legendary Gorilla Monsoon. The promotion was originally known as Capitol Sports Promotions (coincidentally, the company that founded what is now known as WWE was Capitol Wrestling Corporation), when it was founded in 1973. The current owners are Colon, Sr. and another of the founders - Victor Jovica. Primo and Epico, however, seem to have undertaken large roles in re-establishing the company.
