About Victor Jovica

Born 1945. Victor Jovica is a Croatian amateur wrestler and professional wrestler.

Victor Jovica (born November 26, 1945) is a Croatian-born Puerto Rican retired professional wrestler, and promoter. Along with Carlos Colón, he is the co-founder and promoter of Capitol Sports Promotions, now known as the World Wrestling Council (WWC), which, since the 1970s, has been one of the dominant promotions on the island of Puerto Rico.

Professional wrestling career Jovica made his professional wrestling debut in 1971, working primarily in the Canadian Stampede Wrestling promotion. By 1974 he had relocated to Puerto Rico where he, along with Carlos Colón founded Capitol Sports Promotions (later renamed World Wrestling Council; WWC).

In December 1976, Jovica and tag team partner Hercules Ayala won the NWA North American Tag Team Championship (Puerto Rico/WWC version) from Heigo Hamaguchi and Gordon Nelson. They held it for 21 days before losing it to Los Super Médicos (Super Médico I and Super Médico II). This was a common tactic used in the days when the NWA champion was a traveling champion, allowing the local contender to look good, send the fans home happy and then allow the recognized champion to continue to tour.

By the 1990s Jovica wrestled less and less, focusing on the promotional aspects of wrestling instead, appearing as part of storylines, especially a long running feud over control of the WWC. He would occasionally wrestle until 2013.

He returned to wrestling on October 28, 2023 at the age of 77 when he defeated Gallo The Producer at WWC Halloween Wrestling Xtravaganza 2023. His last match was on June 8, 2024 when he teamed with La Industria Honorable (Alfred Allen, Angel Rodriguez and Black Scorpion) losing to Los Hermanos Rivera (Marcial Rivera & Wilfredo Rivera) in a 4 on 2 handicap match at CWA Colision En La Bahia in Catano, Puerto Rico.
