Rey del Ring (2011) (Spanish for "King of the Ring") was an annual professional wrestling major event produced by Mexican professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG), which took place on June 16, 2011, in Arena Naucalpan, Naucalpan, State of Mexico, Mexico. The main event of the show was the Eponymous IWRG Rey del Ring tournament, the ninth version of the annual tournament, which is IWRG's version of WWE's Royal Rumble event. The Rey del Ring returned to IWRG's regular schedule in 2011 after no event was held in 2010, making the event the 10th overall tournament since 2002.

Background

The event featured three professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers, where some were involved in pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines and others simply put together by the matchmakers without a backstory. Being a professional wrestling event matches are not won legitimately through athletic competition; they are instead won via predetermined outcomes to the matches that is kept secret from the general public. Wrestlers portray either heels (the bad guys, referred to as Rudos in Mexico) or faces (fan favorites or Técnicos in Mexico).

The Rey del Ring tournament started in 2002 and has been an annual event held every year since then.[2][3] From 2002 up until the 2011 event the tournament did not officially have an award for winning, although most Rey del Ring winners were later given championship matches since a tournament win. In 2011 IWRG decided to create an actual Rey del Ring Championship, including a championship belt to be the physical representation of that. The belt would be won by winning the tournament, but could be defended throughout the year like all other IWRG championships. The tournament format followed the rules of the WWE's Royal Rumble match, where a total of 30 men compete under Battle Royal rules, starting with two wrestlers in the ring and another wrestler joining the match at certain time intervals, in 2011 it was 2 minutes.[1] The last man remaining in the ring after all 30 wrestlers have entered would be declared the winner and the inargural Rey del Ring Champion as well.[1]

Aftermath

Pantera made the first ever '"Rey del Ring Championship defense on July 10, 2011, when he defeated Último Gladiador to retain the championship. The championship was vacated for the 2012 Rey del Ring tournament so that the winner of the tournament could become the new Rey del Ring Champion at the same time.[4]
