Proyeccion a Nuevas Promesas (2010), short for ''Torneo Relampago de Proyeccion a Nuevas Promesas de la Lucha Libre'' (
Spanish for "Projecting a new promise lightning tournament") was the first annual ''
Proyeccion a Nuevas Promesas''
professional wrestling event produced by the
International Wrestling Revolution Group. It took place on January 1, 2010, at Arena Naucalpan in
Naucalpan, State of Mexico. The focal point of the show was the ''Torneo Relampago de Proyeccion a Nuevas Promesas de la Lucha Libre''
tag team tournament where eight teams competed for the trophy. In 2012 the tournament was renamed ''El Protector'' but the tournament concept remained the same. This event was also the 14th
IWRG Anniversary Show.

International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG; at times referred to as ''Grupo Internacional Revolución'' in Mexico) started their own annual rookie/veteran tournament in 2010. The first two tournaments were called ''Torneo Relampago de Proyeccion a Nuevas Promesas de la Lucha Libre'' (

El Protector'' tournament in 2012. The ''Proyeccion a Nuevas Promesas'' shows, as well as the majority of the IWRG shows in general, are held in "Arena Naucalpan", owned by the promoters of IWRG and their main arena.
