The 2013 En Busca de un Ídolo (Spanish for "In search of an idol") was a professional wrestling tournament held by Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). CMLL held their second annual En Busca de un Ídolo tournament in 2013, from May 17 until July 21, 2013 with all matches taking place in CMLL's main building, Arena México.[1] Unlike the 2012 tournament where most of the participants were rookies, most of the 2013 En Busca de un Ídolo had been active wrestlers longer than most of the 2012 contestants, shifting the focus from "youth" to where wrestlers generally work on CMLL shows. None of the 2012 participants were included in the 2013 tournament. The "Theme" of the 2013 show was "Ahora o Nunca!" ("Now or Never").[2] The first round of the tournament involved a Round-robin tournament format where each member of the tecnico (wrestlers who portray the good guys) team will face all four members of the rudo (bad guy) team between May 21 and June 11.[3] The top two point earners from each group then faced off in the second round between June 21 and July 5. The finals of the tournament took July 12, 2013 and saw Vangelis defeat Valiente to win the tournament.[3][4]

Point system

Wrestlers could earn points in a couple of ways during the tournament.

  • 20 Points for a victory
  • 10 Points for a draw
  • 0 points for a loss
  • The tournament also included four judges, referee El Tirantes, Tony Salazar, Último Guerrero and Brazo de Plata. The judges awarded up to 10 points each based on a wrestlers performance, including the way they portray their character, their personality, their charisma, and how much of a fan response they get during their matches.
  • The third way to earn points for the tournament was throigh an online poll conducted after each match on the En Busca de un Ídolo website. The online poll could give a wrestler a maximum of 40 additional points in the tournament each week.
