Fantastica Mania 2020 was a

promotion and the Mexican Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) promotion. The tour started on January 10 and ran until January 21, 2020, with shows taking place in Osaka, Ehime, Kyoto, Aichi, and four shows in Tokyo at Korakuen Hall
.

The 2020 tour was the tenth year in a row that NJPW and CMLL has co-promoted shows in Japan under the

NJPW World
with subsequent video-on-demand options.

Background

The 2020 Fantastica Mania tour was the tenth year in a row where Japanese wrestling promotion New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) promoted a series of shows with their Mexican partner promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). Due to the co-promotional nature of the shows, they rarely feature any development in ongoing NJPW or CMLL storylines, instead the shows generally focus on inter-promotional matches between CMLL and NJPW.

The 2020 tour included 8 shows, the same as the

NJPW World
.

Storylines

Each of the 2020 Fantastica Mania shows features a number of professional wrestling matches scripted by CMLL and NJPW with some wrestlers involved in scripted feuds. Wrestlers portray either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that play the part of the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they perform.[10]

The CMLL participants for the 2020 tour were announced on October 16, 2019, and included:[11]

Okumura and Carístico are the only two 2020 participants who were also on the first tour, at the time Carístico was known as "Místico".[17]
