Alas de Oro
Annual Tournament Info
Alas de Oro (Wings of Gold) is AAA's annual best of the high fliers match. It's their version of CMLL's longer running Reyes de Aires match.
In the two years Alas de Oros has been held, it'd been a nine man elimination match. There are no tags or sides as in a cibernetico, just wrestlers coming in and out of the ring at will (though usually there's just two in and everyone else waiting for their turn.) Wrestlers can be eliminated by pinfall and submission.
The particapants are usually midcard level wrestlers with the idea of just putting on an exciting match. In 2007, AAA included almost exclusively tecnicos, but AAA mixed in more rudos the following year.
The Alas de Oro trophy is not defended thru the year, though rematches have been held after controversial finishes.
