Latest revision as of 13:35, 25 October 2024
This championship is in the hands of the Kaientai Dojo promotion of Japan (though it occasionally appears in DDT) and has had little connection to Mexico since the end of the UWA promotion.
Current Champion
Kyu Mogami is the current champion. He defeated Fuminori Abe in the main event of an Active Advance Pro Wrestling event on June 20, 2019 at the Shin-kiba 1st RING in Tokyo, Japan. The title has not been defended since. The status is unclear.
History of Championship
Defense records are spare for the first decade of this championship. The belt appears to have been controlled by the Divison del Norte branch of Promociones Mora, and defenses in the north of the country were rarely covered in Mexico City lucha libre magazines in the period.
This belt was the subject of a falling out between CMLL and Puerto Rico's IWA group near the end of 1994. IWA had been sending Miguel Perez, Ricky Santana, El Boricua and Headhunters to CMLL. The two sides had additionally agreed to a deal where Perez would lose his hair in exchange for IWA eventually winning this belt. Perez did lose his hair, to Emilio Charles Jr.. Ultimo Dragon was planned to lose this title to Super Astro, who would eventually lose to an IWA wrestler. Instead, when Dragon won the NWA World Middleweight Championship, he gave up this belt without losing in the ring. An angry IWA pulled it's wrestlers from CMLL shows in response. The situation was eventually resolved, as the vacant belt made it's way to Puerto Rico after the death of the IWA and Perez and the others returned to CMLL in 1995. [1] There's another championship floating around Monterrey.
