AAA Young Stars Tag Team Tournament, 1997

On May 15, 1997 in Toluca, AAA held a one-night tag team tournament patterned much like the Gran Alternativa where a top wrestler would team with a young guy and the winning youngster would get the promise of main event matches in the future. The teams entered were:

• Máscara Sagrada (AAA) & Fuego Magico
• Hector Garza & Super Nova
• Heavy Metal & Venum
• Octagon & Kick Boxer
• Picudo & Loco Valentino
• Fuerza Guerrera & Mosco De La Merced
• Pentagon & May Flowers
• The Killer & Abismo Negro

                 |Garza/Nova--------

Since the same winners of this tournament ended up with the Mexican National Tag Championship, it was thought that was the prize for winning this. This is incorrect - Fuerza Guerrera & Mosco De La Merced actually won a separate tournament a few months later.
