<br />
NJPW young lion who came to Mexico with [[Gran Hamada]] in mid-1975 as Hashi Masataka, working for what would eventually become [[LLI]]. Hamada was an instant sensation, Masataka less so.<br />
<br />
Masataka was billed as the (Japanese) World Lightweight champion. It's unclear if he actually held such a belt or if it was just invented as part of the proto-LLI claiming their own world championships. Masataka eventually lost in the final of the tournament to decide the [[UWA World Lightweight Championship]]. <br />

== Current Champion == <br />
[[Image:Sobrano_welter.JPG|200px|left|thumb|[[Soberano Jr.]], 78th champion]]<br />
<br />
[[Soberano Jr.]] is the most recent champion. He captured the championship on [[May 12]], [[2017]] in [[Arena Mexico]] by defeating [[Rey Cometa]]. Soberano relinquished the championship on [[December 1]], [[2021]] to challenge for the [[CMLL World Welterweight Championship]]. The championship is current vacant.<br />
<br />
== History of Championship == <br />
[[Jack O'Brien]], [[Ciclon Veloz]] and [[Chato Cabral]] made claims on this championship in 1940, when it was in limbo after Bobby Arreola gave it up due to injury in 1939. Their reigns were considered non official, with the next official champion in 1941.

== Current Champion ==<br />
[[Carístico]] is the current champion. He defeated [[Último Guerrero]] on [[August 21]], [[2018]] in [[Arena Coliseo Guadalajara]] to win the championship.<br />

== History of Championship ==<br />
<br />
On [[August 12]], [[2010]], CMLL announced a change with the NWA group of championships. The current physical title belts were all retired, replaced by newly belts with a different design. The old belts are now part of CMLL's mobile museum, though copies of them have turned up elsewhere.<br />
<br />
CMLL referred to the new championships as the '''CMLL Historic Championships''' and said the former NWA champions would be the first champions of the new belts. Outside not getting the physical belt back, that appeared to satisfy the NWA's complaints about using their trademarks. However, within weeks of that press conference, CMLL changed course. The championships were referred to as '''[[NWA World Historic Championships]]'''. <br />
<br />
The name further changed to only "World Historic Middleweight Championship" in early 2022; company officials just stopped using the NWA name with no explanation. The championship lineage itself did not change. (We're leaving the name of the page as is for the time being.)<br />
<br />
Averno made the first Historic defense of any of the three renamed belts, keeping his title over Charly Manson. It was Manson's only title chance in his short CMLL stay. Averno also turned back [[Mascara Dorada]] in the culmination of their early 2011 feud.<br />

{{Gallery|name=Nwaworldlighthvyweighchamp.jpg|caption=Longer History}}<br />
<br />
=== Connection with NWA ===<br />
The NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship was created in the early 1950s. In it's first years, it was a United States title, but was given to EMLL in 1958, and has remained mostly in Mexico for it's lifespan. The NWA name and the long existence of the belt give it a lot of credibility in Mexico, but it's no different from other modern championships in it's many breaks between defenses.<br />
<br />
The [[EMLL]] promotion broke from the NWA when it renamed itself [[CMLL]] in 1991 and declared new world championships for every division. CMLL appeared to plan on unifying the NWA championships, but the unification matches never took place. The NWA Light Heavyweight championship, with over thirty years of history as a major championship in Mexico, was continued to be treated as a major championship of another organization. Despite the NWA itself imploding and restarting multiple times, CMLL continued to act as if there was still an outside NWA governing body sanctioning this championship. CMLL referees would wear shirts with NWA logos for the title matches, as 'proof' of the championship's legitimacy.<br />
<br />
In the late 2000, the current version of the NWA began to request CMLL return to this championship and the other related NWA titles. The NWA pointed out CMLL had not been a dues paying member of the NWA for decades. As a promotion, CMLL ignored the requests. When asked, the individual champions declared they'd only give up the belts if they lost them in the ring. The NWA became more insistent on the return of the belts when [[Blue Demon Jr.]] joined to start the [[NWA Mexico]] promotion. Demon first suggested matches between the CMLL NWA champions and his groups of wrestlers, then repeatedly demanded the belts be handed over. Since Demon was making these claims in Mexico directly, these claims got higher levels of attention.<br />
<br />
Finally, on [[August 12]], [[2010]], CMLL announced a change with the NWA group of championships. The current physical title belts were all retired, replaced by newly belts with a different design. The old belts are now part of CMLL's mobile museum, though copies of them have turned up elsewhere.<br />
<br />
CMLL referred to the new championships as the '''CMLL Historic Championships''' and said the former NWA champions would be the first champions of the new belts. Outside not getting the physical belt back, that appeared to satisfy the NWA's complaints. However, since within weeks of that press conference, CMLL had changed course. The championships were referred to as '''[[NWA World Historic Championships]]''', angering the NWA again.<br />

=== Gori Guerrero branch ===<br />
<br />
Gori Guerrero walked out of EMLL while champion in 1962. EMLL eventually tried to have the NWA strip Guerrero of this championship, but the alliance refused until 1967. Guerrero would occasionally show the belt in interviews and insist the NWA's official record book continued to list him as champion. He is known to defend the championship as late as 1975, where he actually lost it to Dory Dixon. <br />

<br />
Dory Dixon would lose in a title match on August 10th, merging this with the other disputed branch.<br />
<br />
=== Ray Mendoza branch ===<br />
<br />
Ray Mendoza suffered an injury (or maybe the latest in a series) in mid-1974. [[EMLL]] quickly used this as a pretense to appeal to the [[NWA]] to strip Mendoza of the championship, perhaps to prevent him from leaving with a belt as [[Rene Guajardo]] had decided to do at that time. It didn't work; Mendoza kept the title (or a version of it) and defended it when he returned in 1975.<br />
<br />
This championship was not recognized by the NWA, though it was the same physical belt. It was generally referred to as the "World Light Heavyweight Championship", with abbreviations including AIL, AIP and IWA occasionally affixed to it. <br />

<br />
The championship was quietly dropped upon the announcement of the [[UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship]]. Ray Mendoza became the first champion, implicitly continuing the legacy of this championship.<br />

[[Akantus]] is the champion. He defeated [[Cassandro]], [[El Dragón (Juarez)|El Dragón]], [[Hermes Jr.]], [[Impostor Jr.]], [[Magnus]], [[Peluchín Maldad]], and [[Xisco]] on [[April 24]], [[2016]] at the Houchen Community Center in [[El Paso]], [[Texas]] to win the championship.<br />
<br />
== History of Championship ==<br />
The NWA World Welterweight Championship was nominally a Mexico based championship, having actually been created before the formation of the NWA (and EMLL joining the NWA.) Due to legal threats from the NWA, CMLL stopped using those initials in association with this championship in 2010, referring to it only as "World Welterweight Championship".<br />
<br />
The championship appeared to be forgotten after it was vacated in 1992. Misterioso was the champion of the time, by left in the mass exodus to [[AAA]]. CMLL had recently created it's own [[CMLL World Welterweight Championship]] in 1992 and had be considering merging the two championships. Instead, they just allowed this championship to stay empty.<br />
<br />
Three years later, [[Negro Casas]] won a match for the vacant championship over [[El Hijo del Santo]], as part of their infinite rivalry. However, CMLL was still not intending to use the belt; Negro won the belt to provide another champion for the J-Crown Octuple Junior Tournament and Championship. The championship changed many times as part of the tournament and the length of the championship.<br />
<br />
After the J-Crown broke up, the championship ended up as a possession of various Ultimo Dragon promotions and off-shoots. It was widely reported Dragon purchased the [[NWA World Middleweight Championship]] from CMLL around this period, so the same may be true with this title. This belt was used as part of Ultimo Dragon's [[Toryumon]] promotion during it's early years, until it was ultimately replaced by the promotion's own championships.<br />
<br />
When this championship was dropped for Toryumon, it disappeared for three years before resurfacing in as part of Ultimo Dragon's personal shows in Mexico. [[Hajime Ohara]] won the vacant championship, defeating the reigning [[Mexican National Welterweight Championship|Mexican National Welterweight champion]] [[La Mascara]]. Ohara continued defending the championship on Dragon's occasional shows in Mexico and Japan. He wrestled as a rudo in Mexico, but was obviously Dragon's protege and top remaining student. <br />
<br />
Ohara briefly lost this championship to [[Super Delfin]] and won it back, mostly unnoticed by the lucha libre audience. While the championship was mentioned in Ohara's CMLL matches (usually second or third on the card), it was treated as a title belonging to Ultimo Dragon's Dragon Gym shows, and not used for any CMLL feuds or rivalries.<br />
<br />
This status quo came to an end in November of 2007. Ohara was suddenly in the semimain matches and feuding with (and losing to) [[La Sombra]]. After two weeks of trios matches, Sombra was given a title shot and won the championship. At age 18, La Sombra is believed to have become the youngest NWA World Champion of all time. It's also an indication CMLL received ownership of the belt back from Ultimo Dragon. Both Dragon and Ohara have disappeared from CMLL lineups, and the championship has stayed with CMLL.<br />
<br />
As typical with CMLL based championships in this period, the champion had short feuds to set up title defenses, but no long term challenger to fend off. Sombra's match against Ephesto at the close of December was one of the best bouts of the year, but that match was set up with just a couple weeks of build. Still, this championship helped distinguish Sombra from the many other high flying tecnicos of similar level. Sombra's reign marked him as an upcoming top star, much like [[Mistico]]'s first [[NWA World Middleweight Championship]] run did for him.<br />
<br />
[[Mephisto]]'s championship win came as a surprise. The title match was a special attraction for CMLL's return to running regular shows in [[Arena Coliseo Acapulco]], and there was no hint of a pending change. After, it became clear the change was motivated by the upcoming debut [[CMLL Universal Tournament]]; CMLL had 15 eligible champions. Sombra still had half of the [[CMLL World Tag Team Championship]], so Mephisto winning created a 16th champion to fill out the tournament. However, Mephisto was obviously over the weight limit for welterweight. While weight limits had long been ignored, this championship reign was an especially egregious case. <br />
<br />
On [[August 12]], [[2010]], CMLL announced a change with the NWA group of championships. The current physical title belts were all retired, replaced by newly belts with a different design. The old belts are now part of CMLL's mobile museum, though copies of them have turned up elsewhere. CMLL referred to the new championships as the '''CMLL Historic Championships''' and said the former NWA champions would be the first champions of the new belts. Outside not getting the physical belt back, that appeared to satisfy the NWA's complaints about using their trademarks. However, within weeks of that press conference, CMLL changed course. The championships were referred to as '''[[NWA World Historic Championships]]'''. <br />
<br />
As part of the '''Lucha Future''' June 2011 tour of England, Blue Demon Jr. held a singles match between [[Casandro]] and [[Dr. Cerebro]] to decide his version of this title. <br />

=== [[Mano Negra]] branch ===<br />
<br />
Mano Negra was left EMLL in early 1975. He continued to defend this championship as an independent, though NWA and EMLL withdrew their recognition, but Negra kept the physical belt. He continued to defend for promoters which would later be known as LLI/UWA.<br />

Unlike the other two weight division champions, this did not join with the eventual UWA title. Mano Negra reversed course and returned to EMLL around November 1975. EMLL ignored his stake at the championship, though he'd eventually win it back in 1976.<br />

<div>''this is the version of the championship last promoted by [[NWA Mexico]]; the CMLL replacement championship is listed under [[NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship]]''<br />
<br />
== Current Champion ==<br />
[[Akantus]] is the champion. He defeated [[Cassandro]], [[El Dragón (Juarez)|El Dragón]], [[Hermes Jr.]], [[Impostor Jr.]], [[Magnus]], [[Peluchín Maldad]], and [[Xisco]] on [[April 24]], [[2016]] at the Houchen Community Center in [[El Paso]], [[Texas]] to win the championship.<br />
<br />
== History of Championship ==<br />
{{gallery|name=nwamiddle-luchalibre102.png|caption=history of the championship as of October 1965 (including title reigns prior to the recognized start)}}<br />
The NWA World Welterweight Championship was nominally a Mexico based championship, having actually been created before the formation of the NWA (and EMLL joining the NWA.) Due to legal threats from the NWA, CMLL stopped using those initials in association with this championship in 2010, referring to it only as "World Welterweight Championship".<br />
<br />
The championship appeared to be forgotten after it was vacated in 1992. Misterioso was the champion of the time, by left in the mass exodus to [[AAA]]. CMLL had recently created it's own [[CMLL World Welterweight Championship]] in 1992 and had be considering merging the two championships. Instead, they just allowed this championship to stay empty.<br />
<br />
Three years later, [[Negro Casas]] won a match for the vacant championship over [[El Hijo del Santo]], as part of their infinite rivalry. However, CMLL was still not intending to use the belt; Negro won the belt to provide another champion for the J-Crown Octuple Junior Tournament and Championship. The championship changed many times as part of the tournament and the length of the championship.<br />
<br />
After the J-Crown broke up, the championship ended up as a possession of various Ultimo Dragon promotions and off-shoots. It was widely reported Dragon purchased the [[NWA World Middleweight Championship]] from CMLL around this period, so the same may be true with this title. This belt was used as part of Ultimo Dragon's [[Toryumon]] promotion during it's early years, until it was ultimately replaced by the promotion's own championships.<br />
<br />
When this championship was dropped for Toryumon, it disappeared for three years before resurfacing in as part of Ultimo Dragon's personal shows in Mexico. [[Hajime Ohara]] won the vacant championship, defeating the reigning [[Mexican National Welterweight Championship|Mexican National Welterweight champion]] [[La Mascara]]. Ohara continued defending the championship on Dragon's occasional shows in Mexico and Japan. He wrestled as a rudo in Mexico, but was obviously Dragon's protege and top remaining student. <br />
<br />
Ohara briefly lost this championship to [[Super Delfin]] and won it back, mostly unnoticed by the lucha libre audience. While the championship was mentioned in Ohara's CMLL matches (usually second or third on the card), it was treated as a title belonging to Ultimo Dragon's Dragon Gym shows, and not used for any CMLL feuds or rivalries.<br />
<br />
This status quo came to an end in November of 2007. Ohara was suddenly in the semimain matches and feuding with (and losing to) [[La Sombra]]. After two weeks of trios matches, Sombra was given a title shot and won the championship. At age 18, La Sombra is believed to have become the youngest NWA World Champion of all time. It's also an indication CMLL received ownership of the belt back from Ultimo Dragon. Both Dragon and Ohara have disappeared from CMLL lineups, and the championship has stayed with CMLL.<br />
<br />
As typical with CMLL based championships in this period, the champion had short feuds to set up title defenses, but no long term challenger to fend off. Sombra's match against Ephesto at the close of December was one of the best bouts of the year, but that match was set up with just a couple weeks of build. Still, this championship helped distinguish Sombra from the many other high flying tecnicos of similar level. Sombra's reign marked him as an upcoming top star, much like [[Mistico]]'s first [[NWA World Middleweight Championship]] run did for him.<br />
<br />
[[Mephisto]]'s championship win came as a surprise. The title match was a special attraction for CMLL's return to running regular shows in [[Arena Coliseo Acapulco]], and there was no hint of a pending change. After, it became clear the change was motivated by the upcoming debut [[CMLL Universal Tournament]]; CMLL had 15 eligible champions. Sombra still had half of the [[CMLL World Tag Team Championship]], so Mephisto winning created a 16th champion to fill out the tournament. However, Mephisto was obviously over the weight limit for welterweight. While weight limits had long been ignored, this championship reign was an especially egregious case. <br />
<br />
On [[August 12]], [[2010]], CMLL announced a change with the NWA group of championships. The current physical title belts were all retired, replaced by newly belts with a different design. The old belts are now part of CMLL's mobile museum, though copies of them have turned up elsewhere. CMLL referred to the new championships as the '''CMLL Historic Championships''' and said the former NWA champions would be the first champions of the new belts. Outside not getting the physical belt back, that appeared to satisfy the NWA's complaints about using their trademarks. However, within weeks of that press conference, CMLL changed course. The championships were referred to as '''[[NWA World Historic Championships]]'''. <br />
<br />
As part of the '''Lucha Future''' June 2011 tour of England, Blue Demon Jr. held a singles match between [[Casandro]] and [[Dr. Cerebro]] to decide his version of this title. <br />

=== [[Mano Negra]] branch ===<br />
<br />
Mano Negra was left EMLL in early 1975. He continued to defend this championship as an independent, though NWA and EMLL withdrew their recognition, but Negra kept the physical belt. He continued to defend for promoters which would later be known as LLI/UWA.<br />

<br />
Unlike the other two weight division champions, this did not join with the eventual UWA title. Mano Negra reversed course and returned to EMLL around November 1975. EMLL ignored his stake at the championship, though he'd eventually win it back in 1976.<br />

<hr />
<div>''this is the version of the championship last promoted by [[NWA Mexico]]; the CMLL replacement championship is listed under [[NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship]]''<br />
<br />
== Current Champion ==<br />
[[Akantus]] is the champion. He defeated [[Cassandro]], [[El Dragón (Juarez)|El Dragón]], [[Hermes Jr.]], [[Impostor Jr.]], [[Magnus]], [[Peluchín Maldad]], and [[Xisco]] on [[April 24]], [[2016]] at the Houchen Community Center in [[El Paso]], [[Texas]] to win the championship.<br />
<br />
== History of Championship ==<br />
{{gallery|name=nwamiddle-luchalibre102.png|caption=history of the championship as of October 1965 (including title reigns prior to the recognized start)}}<br />
<br />
The NWA World Welterweight Championship was nominally a Mexico based championship, having actually been created before the formation of the NWA (and EMLL joining the NWA.) Due to legal threats from the NWA, CMLL stopped using those initials in association with this championship in 2010, referring to it only as "World Welterweight Championship".<br />
<br />
The championship appeared to be forgotten after it was vacated in 1992. Misterioso was the champion of the time, by left in the mass exodus to [[AAA]]. CMLL had recently created it's own [[CMLL World Welterweight Championship]] in 1992 and had be considering merging the two championships. Instead, they just allowed this championship to stay empty.<br />
<br />
Three years later, [[Negro Casas]] won a match for the vacant championship over [[El Hijo del Santo]], as part of their infinite rivalry. However, CMLL was still not intending to use the belt; Negro won the belt to provide another champion for the J-Crown Octuple Junior Tournament and Championship. The championship changed many times as part of the tournament and the length of the championship.<br />
<br />
After the J-Crown broke up, the championship ended up as a possession of various Ultimo Dragon promotions and off-shoots. It was widely reported Dragon purchased the [[NWA World Middleweight Championship]] from CMLL around this period, so the same may be true with this title. This belt was used as part of Ultimo Dragon's [[Toryumon]] promotion during it's early years, until it was ultimately replaced by the promotion's own championships.<br />
<br />
When this championship was dropped for Toryumon, it disappeared for three years before resurfacing in as part of Ultimo Dragon's personal shows in Mexico. [[Hajime Ohara]] won the vacant championship, defeating the reigning [[Mexican National Welterweight Championship|Mexican National Welterweight champion]] [[La Mascara]]. Ohara continued defending the championship on Dragon's occasional shows in Mexico and Japan. He wrestled as a rudo in Mexico, but was obviously Dragon's protege and top remaining student. <br />
<br />
Ohara briefly lost this championship to [[Super Delfin]] and won it back, mostly unnoticed by the lucha libre audience. While the championship was mentioned in Ohara's CMLL matches (usually second or third on the card), it was treated as a title belonging to Ultimo Dragon's Dragon Gym shows, and not used for any CMLL feuds or rivalries.<br />
<br />
This status quo came to an end in November of 2007. Ohara was suddenly in the semimain matches and feuding with (and losing to) [[La Sombra]]. After two weeks of trios matches, Sombra was given a title shot and won the championship. At age 18, La Sombra is believed to have become the youngest NWA World Champion of all time. It's also an indication CMLL received ownership of the belt back from Ultimo Dragon. Both Dragon and Ohara have disappeared from CMLL lineups, and the championship has stayed with CMLL.<br />
<br />
As typical with CMLL based championships in this period, the champion had short feuds to set up title defenses, but no long term challenger to fend off. Sombra's match against Ephesto at the close of December was one of the best bouts of the year, but that match was set up with just a couple weeks of build. Still, this championship helped distinguish Sombra from the many other high flying tecnicos of similar level. Sombra's reign marked him as an upcoming top star, much like [[Mistico]]'s first [[NWA World Middleweight Championship]] run did for him.<br />
<br />
[[Mephisto]]'s championship win came as a surprise. The title match was a special attraction for CMLL's return to running regular shows in [[Arena Coliseo Acapulco]], and there was no hint of a pending change. After, it became clear the change was motivated by the upcoming debut [[CMLL Universal Tournament]]; CMLL had 15 eligible champions. Sombra still had half of the [[CMLL World Tag Team Championship]], so Mephisto winning created a 16th champion to fill out the tournament. However, Mephisto was obviously over the weight limit for welterweight. While weight limits had long been ignored, this championship reign was an especially egregious case. <br />
<br />
On [[August 12]], [[2010]], CMLL announced a change with the NWA group of championships. The current physical title belts were all retired, replaced by newly belts with a different design. The old belts are now part of CMLL's mobile museum, though copies of them have turned up elsewhere. CMLL referred to the new championships as the '''CMLL Historic Championships''' and said the former NWA champions would be the first champions of the new belts. Outside not getting the physical belt back, that appeared to satisfy the NWA's complaints about using their trademarks. However, within weeks of that press conference, CMLL changed course. The championships were referred to as '''[[NWA World Historic Championships]]'''. <br />
<br />
As part of the '''Lucha Future''' June 2011 tour of England, Blue Demon Jr. held a singles match between [[Casandro]] and [[Dr. Cerebro]] to decide his version of this title. <br />

=== [[Mano Negra]] branch ===<br />
<br />
Mano Negra was left EMLL in early 1975. He continued to defend this championship as an independent, though NWA and EMLL withdrew their recognition, but Negra kept the physical belt. He continued to defend for promoters which would later be known as LLI/UWA.<br />

Unlike the other two weight division champions, this did not join with the eventual UWA title. Mano Negra reversed course and returned to EMLL around November 1975. EMLL ignored his stake at the championship, though he'd eventually win it back in 1976.<br />

[[Category:Championships]]</div>Campeonhttp://www.luchawiki.org/index.php?title=Pavillion_Azteca&diff=218569Pavillion Azteca2023-06-24T03:26:00Z<p>Campeon: </p>
<hr />
<div>'''Pavillon Azteca''' or the '''AWWA''' (Azteca World Wrestling Association) was a Mexico City promotion.<br />
<br />
The promotion held some events in 1980 but truly began around 1983 as Pavillon Azteca. It got its name as it held shows in a tent adjacent to [[Estadio Azteca]] called Pavillon Azteca. [[César Valentino]] played a major role behind the scenes in the promotion.<br />
<br />
Around 1983 to 1984, multiple wrestlers in [[EMLL]] left EMLL to go independent. Due to this, the promotion now had access to wrestlers like [[Blue Demon]], [[Halcon Dorado]], [[El Fantasma]], [[Huracán Ramírez]], [[Angel Blanco]] and others.<br />
<br />
In 1983, the promotion held [[Tercera Dimension (event) | Tercera Dimension]] to gain publicity. The event was the only wrestling event to ever be held at [[Estadio Azteca]] and featured a unique concept where there would be three rings, with different matches happening in each ring at the same time. The event was a success and helped give the promotion more legitimacy. <br />
<br />
In 1984, the promotion got a television show on Canal 4. While today this would not be too unusual, in Mexico there were bans on wrestling on television put in place in the 1950's. The show was called "Super Mondays" and was broadcast on Mondays in parts of Mexico like in Tijuana at 7PM. The promotion also sometimes broadcasted matches from [[Arena Coliseo Monterrey]]. The promotion used more notable wrestlers like [[Angel Blanco]], [[Felipe Ham Lee]], [[Sergio El Hermoso]] and [[Mil Mascaras]], when available. The promotion also gave some younger wrestlers at the time their first break like [[El Justiciero | El Magnifico]], [[Flama Azul]], [[Voltio Negro]], [[Teddy Baños | El Teddy]] and others. <br />
<br />
The wrestler formerly known as El Sanguinario Jr., changed his character to [[Super Muneco]] in 1983. The new gimmick was an instant hit and helped the promotion, despite concerns from various wrestlers and the Mexican Wrestling Commission about such a childish character. The character was such a success that it shaped the promotion into a more kid-friendly promotion with the tagline of "Lucha Fantasia" or "Fight Fantasy". Soon other kid-friendly wrestlers like [[Tigre de Bengala I]], [[Super Pinocho]], [[Ricky Boy]] and [[El Canalla]] arrived. <br />
<br />
The promotion added a Thursday night show during their peak in 1986 with [[Trio Fantasia]] of [[Super Muneco]], [[Super Pinocho]] and [[Super Raton]] being the main draws. While the promotion were able to get more top talent like [[Lizmark]], [[Los Misioneros de la Muerte]] and [[Negro Casas]], the wrestlers were seen as "circus fighters" and weren't taken seriously. <br />
<br />
The promotion started to cool off as [[Trio Fantasia]] got stale, with [[César Valentino]] being replaced by [[Halcón Dorado II]] behind the scenes. Unable to create new stars and with the talents less than stellar in-ring skills being exposed, the promotion closed in 1988. [[Trio Fantasia]] continued to be top independent wrestlers and had runs in [[EMLL]] and [[AAA]] after it closed.<br />
<br />
This promotion had affilations with both [[EMLL]] and [[UWA]] at points and controlled the [[Mexican National Trios Championship]] in 1990. They also had their own group of AWWA championships. <br />

==Career==<br />
El Hijo del Solitario was born on February 9th, 1972 in Guadalajara. His father was [[El Solitario]], one of the most popular luchadores ever who passwed away unexpectedly in 1986. El Hijo del Solitario was only 14 years old at the time of his passing.<br />
<br />
He was trained by Flash and [[Asesino Negro]]. He originally competed under the names "El Sica", "El Principe" and "El Maldito. The name of "El Sica", was a name his father had used which was a shortened version of "Othon Banzica". That name was originally used by Solitario's brother before he tragically passed away in the ring. <br />
<br />
El Hijo del Solitario debuted in 1990 and became a CMLL regular in 1991. Due to his famous name, he was promoted high on the cards from the start, but never was able to live up to the hype of his name. He stayed in CMLL until about 1993, when he tested the waters in [[UWA]] and [[AAA]] after being stuck in the upper midcard. One of the only main highlights during his stay was a mask vs mask win over [[Talisman Jr. | Talisman Jr]]. He eventually returned and stayed in CMLL until about 1998, when he returned to [[AAA]] for a while, before returning back to the indies.<br />
<br />
He had more success as an independent wrestler. He captured the mask of Halcon Infernal on April 6th, 2001 and the hair of [[Misterioso]] on October 31st, 2003. He captured the mask of [[Fantasma de la Quebrada]] on March 21st, 2008 and later captured the mask of Killer Steel in a multi-man cage match. He then captured the hairs of [[Javier Cruz]] and [[Zumbido]] in 2010 and 2011. <br />
<br />
He captured the [[WWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship]], one of the few titles in his career, on April 21st, 2013 and as of 2020, is still active. He is often seen in various independent main events, usually with the likes of [[El Hijo de Anibal]] and other independent mainstays.<br />

== Career ==<br />
Before entering professional wrestling he had been a professional baseball pitcher for the Yomiuri Giants. It was around this time when national wrestling hero Mitsuhiro Momota Sr. (owner of the Japanese Wrestling Association, who competed as Rikidozan) believed that he needed to start grooming a successor in order to keep business strong. In April 1960, Baba began training in Rikidozan's dojo along with fellow student Antonio Inoki. The two trained together under Rikidozan and made their debuts on September 30th, 1960 at the old Daito Ku Gymnasium in Tokyo, where Baba beat Yonetaro Tanaka and Inoki lost to Korean star (and fellow student) Kintaro Oki. The period between 1967 and 1971 is mostly revered by Japanese wrestling fans for Baba and Inoki teaming up to win the NWA International Tag Team Titles; the duo won the titles on October 31st, 1967 after defeating Bill Watts and Tarzan Tyler, and would go on to hold the belts four times. Baba would later break the record with his new partner, Jumbo Tsuruta.<br />
<br />
Several months after Inoki had formed New Japan Pro Wrestling and with JWA on the decline, Baba left the promotion in October 1972 to form All Japan Pro Wrestling. The promotion had the backing of Nippon TV and eventually replaced the JWA's membership (following its collapse) in the National Wrestling Alliance. Baba became the first Japanese wrestler to ever hold the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, defeating Jack Brisco in a best 2/3 falls match on December 2, 1974 in Kagoshima, Japan. He would hold the championship on two more occassions, but his reigns were short and limited to Japanese territory. Baba was also the first former NWA World Champion to be defeated by Ric Flair, as Flair was becoming a top contender for the title.<br />
<br />
By 1984, Baba began phasing himself out of the main event picture, in order to elevate the next generation of wrestlers, who were led by Jumbo Tsuruta and Genichiro Tenryu. He voluntarily became a "curtain jerker", as he moved slowly and only won against mid-card talent. Under his leadership, All Japan Pro Wrestling became the number one wrestling company in the world during the 1990s. Following the formation of the SWS (Super World Sports), Tenryu, Hara and Great Kabuki left All Japan and Baba was forced to quickly elevate younger talent such as Toshiaki Kawada, Kenta Kobashi, Akira Taue and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi up the card. The biggest move Baba made at this time was taking the mask off Tiger Mask II and giving Mitsuharu Misawa the push as the biggest new singles star, which began with Misawa's pinfall victory over Jumbo Tsuruta in one of the most emotional matches in company history on June 8, 1990 at Budokan Hall; the show was close to a sellout and Misawa was immediately catapulted to main event status due to his victory over the legend. Budokan Hall would became the hotbed of pro wrestling with a string of sellouts in the building lasting for several years, which validated Baba's insistance on clean finishes in matches. With the Triple Crown Championship as the focal point, All Japan sold out more than 250 consecutive shows in Tokyo throughout the early the mid 1990s, routinely drawing houses in the $1,000,000 range eight times a year at Budokan Hall. At the peak of the company, tickets for the next Budokan show would be sold at the live event and completely sell out that night. Baba finally agreed to run the Tokyo Dome and despite it being a few years since the company peaked they still drew 58,300 paid fans.<br />
<br />
Baba's last "comeback" was during the World's Strongest Tag League in 1993, when he teamed with old rival Stan Hansen in hopes of winning the Double Cup. The duo made it to the finals, but were defeated by Mitsuharu Misawa and Kenta Kobashi. His final match occurred in 1998, prior to being confined to a hospital bed. On 22 January, 1999, Baba saw his last wrestling match, as Toshiaki Kawada defeated Mitsuharu Misawa for the Triple Crown Championship. Nine days later, Baba died of cancer, a mere week after celebrating his 61st birthday.<br />

== Career ==<br />
Before entering professional wrestling he had been a professional baseball pitcher for the Yomiuri Giants. It was around this time when national wrestling hero Mitsuhiro Momota Sr. (owner of the Japanese Wrestling Association, who competed as Rikidozan) believed that he needed to start grooming a successor in order to keep business strong. In April 1960, Baba began training in Rikidozan's dojo along with fellow student Antonio Inoki. The two trained together under Rikidozan and made their debuts on September 30th, 1960 at the old Daito Ku Gymnasium in Tokyo, where Baba beat Yonetaro Tanaka and Inoki lost to Korean star (and fellow student) Kintaro Oki. The period between 1967 and 1971 is mostly revered by Japanese wrestling fans for Baba and Inoki teaming up to win the NWA International Tag Team Titles; the duo won the titles on October 31st, 1967 after defeating Bill Watts and Tarzan Tyler, and would go on to hold the belts four times. Baba would later break the record with his new partner, Jumbo Tsuruta.<br />
<br />
Several months after Inoki had formed New Japan Pro Wrestling and with JWA on the decline, Baba left the promotion in October 1972 to form All Japan Pro Wrestling. The promotion had the backing of Nippon TV and eventually replaced the JWA's membership (following its collapse) in the National Wrestling Alliance. Baba became the first Japanese wrestler to ever hold the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, defeating Jack Brisco in a best 2/3 falls match on December 2, 1974 in Kagoshima, Japan. He would hold the championship on two more occassions, but his reigns were short and limited to Japanese territory. Baba was also the first former NWA World Champion to be defeated by Ric Flair, as Flair was becoming a top contender for the title.<br />
<br />
By 1984, Baba began phasing himself out of the main event picture, in order to elevate the next generation of wrestlers, who were led by Jumbo Tsuruta and Genichiro Tenryu. He voluntarily became a "curtain jerker", as he moved slowly and only won against mid-card talent. Under his leadership, All Japan Pro Wrestling became the number one wrestling company in the world during the 1990s. Following the formation of the SWS (Super World Sports), Tenryu, Hara and Great Kabuki left All Japan and Baba was forced to quickly elevate younger talent such as Toshiaki Kawada, Kenta Kobashi, Akira Taue and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi up the card. The biggest move Baba made at this time was taking the mask off Tiger Mask II and giving Mitsuharu Misawa the push as the biggest new singles star, which began with Misawa's pinfall victory over Jumbo Tsuruta in one of the most emotional matches in company history on June 8, 1990 at Budokan Hall; the show was close to a sellout and Misawa was immediately catapulted to main event status due to his victory over the legend. Budokan Hall would became the hotbed of pro wrestling with a string of sellouts in the building lasting for several years, which validated Baba's insistance on clean finishes in matches. With the Triple Crown Championship as the focal point, All Japan sold out more than 250 consecutive shows in Tokyo throughout the early the mid 1990s, routinely drawing houses in the $1,000,000 range eight times a year at Budokan Hall. At the peak of the company, tickets for the next Budokan show would be sold at the live event and completely sell out that night. Baba finally agreed to run the Tokyo Dome and despite it being a few years since the company peaked they still drew 58,300 paid fans.<br />
<br />
Baba's last "comeback" was during the World's Strongest Tag League in 1993, when he teamed with old rival Stan Hansen in hopes of winning the Double Cup. The duo made it to the finals, but were defeated by Mitsuharu Misawa and Kenta Kobashi. His final match occurred in 1998, prior to being confined to a hospital bed. On 22 January, 1999, Baba saw his last wrestling match, as Toshiaki Kawada defeated Mitsuharu Misawa for the Triple Crown Championship. Nine days later, Baba died of cancer, a mere week after celebrating his 61st birthday.<br />
