Rey de Reyes
From Pro Wrestling
The Rey de Reyes (English: "King of Kings") is an annual tournament held by Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) comparable to World Wrestling Entertainment’s King of the Ring tournament. For the first six tournaments the format has been 4 way elimination matches with 4 qualifies and a final, but in later tournaments the format has changed a couple of times. The winner is usually either currently one of the top faces or heels of the promotion of a wrestler that AAA is hoping to push to the main event position. Unlike the King of the Ring there is normally no crown and the wrestlers usually do not refer to themselves as "King" after winning the tournament.
