Torneo Gran Alternativa (2016)
The ''Torneo Gran Alternativa'' (2016) was a professional wrestling tournament event produced by the Mexican wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLLl; Spanish "World Wrestling Council") that began on March 22, 2016 and ran over the course of three of CMLL's Tuesday night shows in Arena México through April 5. The ''Torneo Gran Alternativa'' (Great alternative tournament) concept sees a ''Novato'' or rookie team up with an experienced wrestler for a tag team tournament. The rookie winner is often elevated up the ranks of CMLL as a result of winning the tournament, but there is no specific "prize" for winning the tournament beyond a symbolic trophy. After not holding a ''Gran Alternativa'' in 2015 CMLL brought the concept back in 2016, this time holding the first block of the tournament on their Tuesday show in Arena México as opposed to previous years where they held it on their Friday night '' Super Viernes'' shows. The 2016 tournament was the 21st ''Gran Alterna ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
