The winner is usually either currently one of the top faces or heels of the promotion or a wrestler that AAA is hoping to push to the main event position.
The 13 events have hosted 13 finals, with only one wrestler, La Parka, winning the tournament more than once, in 2001, 2003, 2005, and 2007.
Ciudad Madero, Tamaulipas and Naucalpan, Mexico State are tied for most events hosted with five each.
As is tradition with recent major AAA shows, the wrestlers compete inside a hexagonal wrestling ring and not the four sided ring the promotion uses for regular television events and House shows.
The event has hosted eight championship matches, with four championships changing hands on the show, including the finals of the tournament to crown the first ever AAA World Tag Team Champions.
