AAA World Cruiserweight Championship
Current Champion
Alex Koslov is the first champion, winning a three way match of a thirteen man tournament.
History of Championship
As part of AAA's continuing evolution towards a US style promotion, and as a clear nod to the WCW title of the same division, this championships was created in 2009 to serve as a crown for those not big enough to be in contention for the AAA World Heavyweight Championship. Unlike the Mexican National championships, previously used in this role, all wrestlers are eligible for this championship regardless of home country. No specific weight limit has ever been emphasized for this division.
AAA held a two stage, thirteen man tournament to determine the first champion. As tends to happen in AAA tournaments, it was complicated more than most, though there was a greater emphasis on explaining the tournament. As with the previous tournament for the AAA minis championship, the final was a three way, elimination match.
Alex Koslov became the first champion in Aguascalientes, taking the tournament. The final match saw Extreme Tiger pin Alan Stone, only to be defeated in turn by Koslov.
