CMLL Torneo Gran Alternativa - Gran Alternativa 2008

Gran Alternativa 2008

The fourteenth Gran Alternativa was held on July 18, 2008 in Mexico City, Mexico. Unlike previous years this year's tournament did not feature a "seeding" battle royal. El Brujo was originally announced as a participant, but was replaced by Puma King due to Brujo suffering an injury. Último Guerrero was originally announced as teaming with Diamante Negro, but Diamante changed his ring persona to Dragón Rojo, Jr. in the days before the Gran Alternativa. Guerrero and Dragón Rojo, Jr. qualified for the final by defeating the teams of Shocker and Angel Azteca, Jr. and Blue Panther and Axel. Dos Caras Jr. and Metalik earned the other spot in the final by defeating the teams of Atlantis and Skándalo and Mr. Niebla and Bronco only to lose in the finals. Since the finals Dragón Rojo, Jr. has become a member of Poder Mexica and one third of the Mexican Nation Trios Champions.
