Mexican National Mini-Estrella Championship
Encyclopedia
The Mexican National Mini-Estrella Championship (Campeonato Nactional Mini-Estrella in Spanish) is a professional wrestling
championship
endorsed by Comisión de Box y Lucha Libre Mexico D.F. (Mexico City Boxing and Wrestling Commission). The championship is exclusively for Mini-Estrellas or Minis, in Mexico. A "Mini" is not necessarily a person with dwarfism
like North American midget professional wrestling, it can also be very short wrestlers who works in the Mini division. Although the Commission sanctions the title, it does not promote the events in which the title is defended, that right was granted to Asistencia Asesoría y Administración
(AAA) upon the title's creation in 1992 and remained with AAA until 2007 where the reigning champion left the promotion to work for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre
(CMLL). The title was not declared vacant by the comision; AAA chose to replace the Mexican National Mini-Estrellas Championship with their own AAA World Mini-Estrella Championship
in 2008, leaving the status of the championship unknown. Being a professional wrestling championship it is not won legitimately; it is instead won via a scripted ending to a match or awarded to a wrestler because of a storyline
.
The title was create in January, 1993, to be used as the top championship in AAA's Mini-Estrella division. Espectrito
won a match against Mascarita Sagrada
; Mascarita Sagrada had been the CMLL World Mini-Estrellas Champion
when Peña created AAA and was initially offered the title without a match, Sagrada declined, opting to face Espectrito in a match to decide who would become the first champion. In 1995 then-reigning champion Super Muñequito defeated Espectrito to win the IWC World Mini-Estrella Championship, merging it with the Mexican National title.IWC stood for "International Wrestling Council", a name used to Promote AAA in the United States between 1994 and 1995. In 1997 then-reigning champion Mascarita Sagrada, Jr.
left AAA to work for Promo Azteca; he vacated the title and changed his name to "Tzuki". Octagóncito II
defeated Pentagóncito to win the vacant title; since then the title has not been vacated. In 2007 Mascarita Sagrada 2000
left AAA while still holding the championship; he later appeared in CMLL, repackaged as "Mascarita Dorada" but the announcers still mentioned the fact that he was the Mexican National Mini-Estrella Champion. Since his initial appearance Mascarita Dorada has not been billed as the champion, but has not officially been stripped of the title by the Commission.
The first Minis champion was Espectrito; he is also one of only three wrestlers to hold the title twice, the others being Octagóncito II and Mascarada Sagrada 2000. The current champion is Mascarita Sagrada 2000, having defeated Mini Abismo Negro
for the title on November 5, 2004. It is Mascarita Sagrada 2000's second Minis title reign, he is the 15th overall champion and the 11th person to hold the championship. Mascarita Sagrada 2000 has held the title the longest of any champion, days, but has not defended the championship since 2007.
