The 2008 Rey de Reyes (English: "King of Kings") was the twelfth annual Rey de Reyes professional wrestling tournament and show, promoted by Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA). The event took place on March 18, 2007 in the Plaza de Toros Lorenzo Garza arena in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. The main focus of the 2008 Rey de Reyes show was the twelfth annual Rey de Reyes tournament and a match between the top Technico Cibernético and the Rudo El Mesias for the AAA Mega Championship which El Mesias held going into the event. The undercard included four qualifying matches for the Rey de Reyes leading to the traditional four man elimination match that led to the crowning of that year's Rey de Reyes. The undercard also saw the continuing feud between Konnan’s La Legión Extranjera (Foreign Legion) and their altercations with wrestlers defending AAA. For this event La Legión Extranjera brought in two American wrestlers, Sabu and Scott Steiner, to strengthen their side. The other undercard storyline was that of Los Psycho Circus (a trio of Rudo wrestlers dressed up as clowns) competing with The Black Family.

Background

The event featured ten of professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines. Wrestlers portray either villains (referred to as Rudos in Mexico) or fan favorites (Técnicos in Mexico) as they compete in wrestling matches with pre-determined outcomes.

Event

During the event Eddie Guerrero was inducted into the AAA Hall of Fame, honoring Guerrero for the contributions he had made to AAA during the early part of his career.
