The first ever International Gran Prix was held on April 15, 1994 and featured a one night, 16-man single elimination tournament consisting of Mexican natives and a number of foreign wrestlers, some of which worked for CMLL on a regular basis (such as King Haku and Corazon de León) and others who were invited specially for the tournament (such as Yamato). The final match saw Rayo de Jalisco, Jr. defeat King Haku to win the International Gran Prix.
