History YMMV / CMLL

** While being World Heavyweight Champion in CMLL doesn't mean quite as much in CMLL as it does in other companies, it's still the most prestigious title belt the Canadian known as Steele has ever held.

** If TV Tropes were a pro wrestling website, we might have called it Germans love La Sombra, AKA Brillante Jr. He's scarcely wrestled outside of latin America and yet consistently ranks high on German sites.

** La Sombra got it after unmasking Volador Jr at the 80th anniversary, mostly because it was the result of the two rivals losing a Relevos Suicidas to two much more storied rivals, Ultimo Guerrero and Atlantis. Sombra was the tecnico going into the match but there was some role reversal afterwards.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Drawing the equivalent of a million USD just from the gate of their 81st anniversary show. This was special because it was after the top draw of the entire nation and the second highest draw in the Americas left CMLL for another country, imploded there and then went to their most immediate rival to rebuild, leaving people skeptical about CMLL's immediate future. And ''Starcade 86'' which preceded it was much more of a collaborative project.

* GrowingTheBeard: Physically, Wrestling/HiroshiTanahashi and Wrestling/TetsuyaNaito had all they needed to be stars in pro wrestling, Naito already was one half of popular tag team. But it was in CMLL where the developed the charisma and gimmicks that would later make them main event staples.

** Most Puerto Rican fans aren't that into Los Boricuas or Comando Caribeño, unless you're talking about Rico Suave or Zeuxis.

** Traditionally it was Lucha Libre Internacional/Universal Wrestling Association, then AAA with IWRG being a lesser rival. AAA's fans are not as hostile towards CMLL's as AAA and CMLL's ownership is though, the LLI/UWA thing was opposite, with the owners milking the rival fans.
