In May of 1996, a 16 man tournament was held to determine a new CMLL World Welterweight Championship. Pantera was the former recognized champion. He was planning on jumping to AAA, but had a tour of Japan first. During that tour, he lost the championship to Super Delfin. CMLL, knowing Pantera was leaving the promotion, did not recongize the title change and declared the championship vacant.
The tournament was held in typical 16 man, 3 week style: 2 weeks of 8 man block tournaments (on 05/07 and 05/14), with the block winners facing the final week (on 05/21). All matches were held at Arena Coliseo DF.
