Current Champion
 Pierrothito, 49th Champion |
Pierrothito defeated Mascarita Dorada on Sept. 23, 2008 in Arena Mexico in the finals of a tournament to crown a new champion.
History of Championship
In the prior era of this championship, it was used to transition a mini (Damiancito el Guerrero, who soon became Virus) into his new role as a full sized wrestler. Virus lost the belt to Ricky Marvin, in similar bid to give more spotlight to a small wrestler. Marvin lost in turn to Loco Max, who was a local Arena Puebla wrestler at the time. If there were further plans for the championship, they were forgotten after Loco Max joined the main CMLL roster (thru the Guapos U group) in 2002. Luchas 2000's special on the history of the Mexican National Championships included an interview with Loco Max, who said he vacated this championship, but no specific date was mentioned.
As usual, CMLL brought this championship back with no notice or advance warning in 2008, announcing a lineup for a tournament to decide a new champion without previously mentioning the title would be returning. All the participants listed so far are mini wrestlers, which would fit with the weight requirements of the championship but cause it to become the first weight based championship to be held by those in restricted by height. Among many things unclear at the moment is if non-Mini wrestlers who make the weight limit would still be competing for the title, or if it would be a minis-only championship (and a duplication of the Mexican National Minis Championship.)
The lightweight division has rarely had the prominence of the other weight divisions and is usually skipped by most promotions.
