  ## Production
  
  ### Background
  
  Beginning in 2009 the Mexican wrestling promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG; Sometimes referred to as Grupo Internacional Revolución in Spanish) held an annual show called Guerra Revolucionaria ("The Revolutionary War"), a reference to the Mexican revolutionary war (1810–1821). The main event match, the eponymous Guerra Revolucionaria, a 20-man "over the top" Battle Royal where all 20 wrestlers start out in the ring. Once a wrestler is thrown over the top rope to the floor that wrestler is eliminated from the actual match, from that point on they will act as a "Lumberjack" outside the ring, ensuring that none of remaining competitors try to escape the ring. Each "lumberjack" is given a leather strap that they are allowed to use on anyone that leaves the ring. There is no specific "award" for winning the Guerra Revolucionaria tournament. The multi-man match often allows IWRG to intersect various ongoing storylines as another step in the escalating tension. At other times, the match itself was used as a way to start new feuds due to interactions inside or outside the ring. The Guerra Revolucionaria shows, as well as the majority of the IWRG shows in general, are held in Arena Naucalpan, owned by the promoters of IWRG, and it is their main venue. The 2010 Guerra Revolucionaria show was the second year in a row that IWRG held an event under that label.
  
  ### Storylines
  
  The event featured four professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers, where some were involved in pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines, 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).
  
  ## Event
  
  The opening match saw two recent graduates from the IWRG wrestling school face off as El Centvrión defeated Keshin Black in a best two-out-of-three falls singles match. For the second match, a tag team match. the técnicos team of Brazo Metálico and Dinamic Black defeated the rudo team of Alan Extreme and Némesis. In the third match of the night Los Arlequíns (Arlequín Amarillo, Arlequín Negro and Arlequín Rojo) defeated the Exótico team of Bugambilla, Diva Salvaje and Miss Gaviota, breaking the rules behind the referee's back to gain the third and deciding fall. After the match the Exótico demanded a rematch. Prior to the main event IWRG held a tribute to Huracán Ramírez, Daniel García Arteaga. For the tribute they invited García daughter Karla and her husband Axel (grandson of El Santo) to the show. They came to the ring with their son Daniel, named after his grandfather.
