History Wrestling / AAA

Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (''AAA'', or ''Triple A'' for short), with the "AAA" coming from its original name of ''Asistencia Asesoría y Administración'', is among the larger UsefulNotes/{{Mexic|o}}an ProfessionalWrestling, or, as it is known there, ''lucha libre'', promotions. It was started by Antonio Peña in 1992 when he broke away from ''[[Wrestling/{{CMLL}} Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL)]]''. Peña brought with him Wrestling/{{Konnan}}, and also picked up [[Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr Rey Misterio Jr]] from the Tijuana scene and gave Wrestling/LaParka his gimmick. Over the years, [=AAA=] has worked with Wrestling/{{WWE}} and Wrestling/{{WCW}}, and has enjoyed long standing partnerships with with both Wrestling/{{TNA}} and UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}'s Wrestling/ProWrestlingNOAH, as well as a more recent one with newcomer promotion Wrestling/{{AEW}}. A lot of their talent have also raised their foreign profiles in Wrestling/LuchaUnderground, an Creator/ElReyNetwork wrestling show and corresponding promotion that's partially owned by AAA.

* SuddenDeath: A staple of The Lucha Libre World Cup, starting in 2015 where AAA saw several three on three matches wrestled to time limit draws, leaving one member from each team to wrestle for the final decision in overtime four times in eight matches(only half had a winner in the allotted fifteen minutes). Rotated in the final, which saw last two team's designated champions themselves hit a time limit draw necessitating a ''third'' overtime. To put it in perspective, on a card with seven regular matches and one planned sudden death for third place, there ended up being seven sudden deaths, with the planned one itself going into "overtime".

* TheArtifact: El Chico Illegal Chicano originally used the gimmick in Puerto Rico. Even though he put on a [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead mask with the Puerto Rican flag]] on it while in AAA, it just doesn't [[ForeignWrestlingHeel carry the same weight]].
* TheMadHatter: Wrestling/{{Psicosis}}, Psicosis II, Histeria, Maniaco, Super Crazy, Psycho Clown. Los Vatos Locos (Charly Manson, May Flowers, Nygma and Picudo) were an entire group of them. A tecnico group.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Tiffany was the only woman in Lucha Libre Latina, a stable mostly made up of exoticos, {{gorgeous George}}s and (unambiguously straight male) {{delinquents}}.

* WhipItGood: El Texano with his lasso. His son, Texano Jr. inherited it.

** Their flagship PPV ''[=TripleMania=]'' was named as such not only because the company's name is generally read as "Triple A", but also because the show was originally held during three nights. After the third edition or so, it was held during one night only like most [=PPVs=]. Returned to a three night style (though this time spaced out) in 2022/

* OverProtectiveDad: The roots of the Apache Family feud, in AAA at least, start with Gran Apache's belief in what's best for his daughters and Fabi's disagreements with him.

* '''La Leyenda Azul Blue Demon Championship''' '''Arez''' since December 28, 2022
* '''Marvel Lucha Libre Championship''' '''Aracno''' since December 28, 2022
