The Gran Alternativa 2010 is a professional wrestling annual tournament produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and is schedule to take place over three shows between April 16 and April 30, 2010 in in Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico. The Torneo Gran Alternativa ("Great Alternative tournament") is an annual tournament where an established CMLL veteran teams up with a Novato or rookie in a tag team tournament, although at times the Novato is not so much a rookie, but either a wrestler who has been given a new ring character or has never participated in the Gran Alternativa before. The format of the tournamnent was changed for the 2010 tournament, traditionally it featured 8 tag teams and a one night tournament, but in 2010 it will feature 16 teams and split over three CMLL Super Viernes shows.
Background

The teams are created specifically for the tournament, with no teams having worked together on a regular basis before, and in the past has not wrestled as a regular team after the Gran Alternativa is over. The tournament will incorporate pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines.
