International Gran Prix 1998

The fifth International Gran Prix was held on August 14, 1998 and once again 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 The Headhunters) and others who were invited specially for the tournament (such as Ricky Santana). The final match saw Rayo de Jalisco, Jr. defeat Apolo Dantés to win the International Gran Prix, making Rayo de Jalisco, Jr. the first person to win the Gran Prix twice; having previously won it in 1994.
