2010

This year's tournament included twenty wrestlers in a new single elimination tournament format. The field was split into two blocks of 10. The traditional battle royals to determine seeding also offered a bye to the block final. The first eight were seeding in the tournament as normal. The final two left in the ring immediately faced off in a normal one fall match, with the winner advancing directly the block finals (the overall semifinals) and the loser eliminated.

All matches were held in Arena Mexico. The first block was held on December 10, 2010. The seeding and tournament structure required Dragon Rojo Jr. to win consecutive matches over La Mascara, Sombra and Volador Jr.. Dragon pulled off the feat to win this block.

The second block will be held on December 17, and the final will take place on a special December 25th show.
