Unlike the Mini-Estrellas tournament the male division Torneo Bicentenario did not have a prize beyond a trophy. The tournament included 32 wrestlers in total, with two qualifying blocks to find the finalists. The first part of the tournament was divide into a rudo (wrestlers portraying a "bad guy" character) and a tecnico block. Each block started off with an 8 team tag team tournament, after which the winning team would have to wrestle each other to find one finalist. The rudo block took place on September 7, 2010. The teams for the night were: Averno and Mephisto, Dragón Rojo Jr. and Sangre Azteca, Atlantis and Último Guerrero, Héctor Garza and Mr. Águila, Mr. Niebla and Volador Jr., Jushin Thunder Liger and Shigeo Okumura, El Terrible and El Texano, Jr., El Felino and Rey Bucanero. Volador Jr. and Mr. Niebla won the tag team portion of the match, with Volador Jr. defeating his tag team partner to earn a spot in the finals.[3] The tecnico block took place on September 10, 2012 during the weekly Super Viernes show. The randomly paired teams for the night were: Blue Panther and Máscara Dorada, Hijo del Fantasma and Stuka Jr., La Sombra and Místico, Sagrado and Toscano, Brazo de Plata and Maximo, Rayo de Jalisco, Jr. and Valiente, Rush and Jon Strongman and finally La Mascara and Shocker. The tag team final was won by La Sombra and Místico over La Mascara and Shocker. Immediately following the tag team match the winners faced off with Místico pinning his opponent to secure a spot in the finale.[4] The final match took place a week later, on the September 17 Super Viernes show and was the only best two-out-of-three falls match of the entire tournament.
