Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre Co., Ltd. (CMLL;Spanish pronunciation:[konˈsexomunˈdjaldeˈlutʃaˈliβɾe], "World Wrestling Council") is a Mexicanprofessional wrestling promotion based inMexico City. The promotion was previously known asEmpresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL) (Mexican Wrestling Enterprise). Founded in 1933, it is the oldest professional wrestling promotion still in existence.[1]
CMLL currently recognizes and promotes 12 World Championships in various weight divisions and classifications, six national level and six regional level championships. TheCMLL Anniversary Show series is the longest-running annual major show, starting in 1934, with theCMLL 92nd Anniversary Show being the most recent. CMLL also regularly promotes major events under the namesHomenaje a Dos Leyendas ("Homage to two legends"),Sin Piedad ("No Mercy"),Sin Salida ("No Escape"),Infierno en el Ring ("Inferno in the Ring") during the year. CMLL has promoted their regular weeklySuper Viernes ("Super Friday") on a regular basis since the 1930s. Founder Salvador Lutteroth funded the building ofArena Coliseo in 1943, making it the first building in Mexico built specifically for professional wrestling.
Prior to 1933,lucha libre shows in Mexico were primarily promoted by foreign promoters doing the occasional match through Mexico or a few scattered local promoters, especially along the U.S. border, who brought in American professional wrestlers as their main attractions.[2]
In 1929,Salvador Lutteroth González, who at the time was a property inspector for the Mexican tax department, moved toCiudad Juárez, near theMexico–United States border. During a trip toEl Paso, Texas, Lutteroth witnessed aprofessional wrestling show and was intrigued by it, especially the main event, Greek wrestler Gus Pappas.[2][3] Four years later, Lutteroth, along with his financial backer Francisco Ahumada, charteredEmpresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL; literally "Mexican Wrestling Enterprise"), the first Mexican-owned wrestling promotion in the country. EMLL held their first show on September 21, 1933, considered the "birth of Lucha libre", and which led to Lutteroth being known as "the father of Lucha Libre".[4]
EMLL initially tried to book Arena Nacional, the premier boxing venue inMexico City, but the promoters would not let him rent it, forcing Lutteroth and EMLL to take up residence inArena Modelo, an abandoned and run-down facility that Lutteroth was able to use as his home base. The concept of Lucha Libre quickly became very popular, so much so that theEMLL 1st Anniversary Show drew a sold-out crowd of 5,000 paying fans. In 1934, an American wrestler debuted in Mexico under ablack leather mask, and Lutteroth dubbed himLa Maravilla Enmascarada or "The Masked Marvel". In the United States the concept of the masked wrestler was more of a mid-level attraction, but the reaction to La Maravilla Enmascarada led to Lutteroth and EMLL officials to introduce more masks, starting with a wrestler known simply as El Enmascarado ("The Masked Wrestler"), and laterEl Murciélago Enmascarado ("The Masked Bat"). Through the use of the masks and ring characters EMLL helped create the sacred position of the mask inLucha libre, making it the ultimate status symbol forluchadors.[2][3] In the early days of EMLL, most of the top names were Americans, but with time EMLL introduced several Mexican natives that became so popular that they began to main-event most of the EMLL shows. To expand their business, EMLL began working with a number of local wrestling promoters across Mexico, allowing them to use the EMLL name and some of their contracted wrestlers while also gaining access to local wrestlers in return. Each booking office was independent of each other, but the main office in Mexico City had the final say if there were disputes over who would be able to book certain wrestlers.[2][3][
In 1942, a masked wrestler clad in silver, known simply asEl Santo ("The Saint"), made his debut. He would go on to become a cultural icon in Mexico and is often cited as the greatest Mexican wrestler of all time.[5] With the popularity of El Santo as well as other Mexican stars such asBobby Bonales,Tarzán López,Cavernario Galindo andGory Guerrero Arena Modelo eventually became too small to accommodate the demand for tickets. To solve the problem Lutteroth financed the construction ofArena Coliseo in Mexico City, the first arena in Mexico built specifically for professional wrestling and the first sports building in Mexico to have built in air conditioning. The arena, nicknamed the "Lagunilla Funnel" due to its interior shape would hold over 8,800 spectators when configured forLucha libre or boxing. Arena Coliseo began hosting EMLL's annualAnniversary shows starting with the10th Anniversary show.[2][6][7]
In 1953, Salvador Lutteroth joined the US basedNational Wrestling Alliance (NWA), becoming the officialNWA territory for all of Mexico, known as "NWA-EMLL" outside Mexico. By joining the NWA, Lutteroth and EMLL gained control of theNWA World Light Heavyweight Championship. They were also able to re-brand their "World Middleweight Championship" to become theNWA World Middleweight Championship and their "World Welterweight Championship" became theNWA World Welterweight Championship.[8][9][10] In the early 1950s television became as a viable entertainment medium in Mexico which was set to bolster the popularity of EMLL, but Arena Coliseo was not equipped properly for television transmissions. As it turns out luck was on Lutteroth and EMLL's side as Lutteroth and the personnel at Arena Coliseo bought a lottery ticket worth 5 millionPesos. Lutteroth used his portion of the winnings to finance the construction ofArena México, on the location where Arena Modelo used to sit. Arena México enabled EMLL to broadcast their weekly wrestling shows across Mexico, yielding a popularity explosion for the sport.[2][3] Starting in 1956, with theEMLL 23rd Anniversary Show all anniversary shows were held in Arena México, except theEMLL 46th Anniversary Show. Over time the arena became known as "The Cathedral of Lucha Libre".[citation needed]
Over time,Lutteroth retired from the day-to-day operations of EMLL leaving the company in the hands of his son Salvador "Chavo" Lutteroth Jr.[2][3]
In 1975, local promoterFrancisco Flores, along with EMLL trainerRay Mendoza broke away from EMLL, citing their displeasure with EMLL's conservative, restrictive promotional style. The two took a number of EMLL's younger wrestlers with them to formLucha Libre Internacional, S. C, later known as theUniversal Wrestling Association (UWA).[3] With the creation of the UWA EMLL faced a rival national promotion for the first time.[11]

In the mid-1980s, Chavo Lutteroth II retired, allowing his nephewPaco Alonso, grandson ofChavo Lutteroth I, to take control of EMLL. In the late 1980s, EMLL decided to leave the NWA, seeking to distance themselves from the political wrestling in the National Wrestling Alliance. At that time, EMLL, with the consent ofPaco Alonso, the bookerAntonio Peña and the Monterrey promoter Carlos Humberto Elizondo, devised the creation of theConsejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; "World Wrestling Council") to establish a new identity after the NWA split, in order to have their own titles and organize promoters who wanted to join, in addition to sounding more international.[6] From 1991 through 1993 CMLL created eight "CMLL World" titles in addition to the three NWA branded titles they retained and a slew of other championships.[12] At the start of the 1990s the company began appearing on the nationalTelevisa network, which led to a second big boom in business due to the renewed national television exposure, in the mid-1970s through the 1980s, magazines and newspapers were the sole medium of Lucha Libre for most Mexicans.[citation needed]
In the mid-1980s, retired wrestlerAntonio Peña became one of the main bookers for EMLL, helping determine who would win matches, what storylines to use and so on, he was also a driving force behind the name change toConsejo Mundial de Lucha Libre.[13] Peña would often clash with Juan Herrera, the other main booker for CMLL at the time. Herrera wanted to maintain the old style of booking with heavyweights such asAtlantis,El Dandy andEl Satánico, while Peña wanted to feature younger, faster moving wrestlers such asKonnan,Octagón orMáscara Sagrada. In the end CMLL ownerPaco Alonso decided to go with Juan Herrera's booking style.[14]
AfterPaco Alonso chose to ignore Peña's booking ideas, Peña began negotiations withTelevisa television channel to fund a new wrestling promotion that would provideTelevisa with weekly wrestling shows. In 1992 Peña started a booking agency, providing wrestlers and matches for theTelevisa ownedAsistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) promotion. While Peña technically owned the promotionTelevisa owns the rights to the AAA name.[13] In a move that mirrored Flores' departure in the 1970s Peña left the promotion alongside a number of young wrestlers who were unhappy with their position in the promotion. With the creation of AAA the promotion replaced the UWA as Mexico's other main wrestling promotion, creating a long running rivalry between CMLL and AAA.[13] Starting in 1996 CMLL began promoting an annual show in March, first paying homage to Salvador Lutteroth, then later Lutteroth and El Santo and then finally becoming theHomenaje a Dos Leyendas ("Homage to Two Legends") annual show series.[15][16][17]
From 2007 to 2009, CMLL had a working relationship with American promotionTotal Nonstop Action Wrestling, which saw CMLL'sAverno,Rey Bucanero,Último Guerrero andVolador Jr. winning the2008 TNA World X Cup and TNA workerAlex Shelley winning the2008 CMLL International Grand Prix. In 2008, CMLL established a working relationship withNew Japan Pro-Wrestling as part of "G-1 World", several wrestlers have since toured between the two companies winning titles, includingMístico winning theIWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship andJushin Thunder Liger winning theCMLL Universal Championship tournament. Since 2011, the two promotions have annually co-promoted events in Japan, under the nameFantastica Mania.
In 2011, CMLL established a working relationship with Japanese women's promotion Universal Woman's Pro Wrestling Reina and announced that the two promotions would create a new championship for women who have been in the professional wrestling industry for less than ten years, called theCMLL-Reina International Junior Championship. This was followed by the establishment of theCMLL-Reina International Championship one year later.[citation needed]
On March 16, 2010, a video was posted on YouTube featuring an interview David Marquez had with NWA Executive Director and Legal CounselRobert Trobich. Trobich announced that CMLL did not have permission to use the NWA trademark. The rights to usage of the NWA trademark in Mexico is now held by NWA Mexico, represented byBlue Demon, Jr. CMLL replaced the three championships with theNWA World Historic Light Heavyweight Championship,NWA World Historic Middleweight Championship and theNWA World Historic Welterweight Championship.[18]
On September 19, 2014, CMLL became only the second promotion in the Americas, afterWWE, to draw a $1 million gate with their81st Anniversary Show, headlined by aMask vs. Mask match betweenAtlantis and Último Guerrero.[19]
On November 6, 2014, the promotion made an alliance with the Mexican independent groupLucha Libre Elite to help bring independent wrestlers into CMLL which ended in early 2018.[20]
On July 6, 2016, NJPW announced that they would broadcast CMLL Friday shows in their video-streaming service,NJPW World.[21] On August 10, CMLL announced a working relationship with American promotionRing of Honor (ROH). The two promotions were linked through their separate relationships with NJPW.[22] The alliance with ROH ended on April 27, 2021.[23]
On July 7, 2019, CMLL announced the death of the president of the companyPaco Alonso (who died a day before, on July 6). On July 10, CMLL appointed Sofía Alonso, Paco's daughter, as the president of the company. On August 26, it was revealed that Sofía had been relieved of her position, with Salvador "Chavo" Lutteroth III becoming the chairman and CEO of PROMECOR-CMLL.[24]
In September 2021, president ofIce Ribbon Hajime Sato appeared alongside Kounosuke Izui, promoter of Lady's Ring, on an episode ofCMLL Informa to announce the establishment of a working relationship between the two promotions and the Mexican-based Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).[25]
On July 5, 2023, CMLL announced an alliance with the Arena Coliseo Tony Arellano de Torreón, who at a press conference announced this merger in which they will work on several very ambitious projects. Edgar "güero" Noriega, referee and promoter of this company, attended the press conference directly from the CMLL, for several good news, the first being the merger in which this Tony Arellano Arena will be part of the company's programming as it does with the Coliseo de Guadalajara, Puebla, Arena México and Arena Coliseo and now La Laguna is already the headquarters and has been certified.[26]

CMLL regularly runs six shows on five days in a week. The biggest weekly show is the Friday nightSuper Viernes ("Super Friday") show, held in the famousArena Mexico in Mexico City. CMLL runs also shows on Saturdays inArena Coliseo, on Sundays in Arena Mexico, on Mondays in ArenaPuebla, and on Tuesdays in Arena Mexico and Arena Coliseo Guadalajara. The Friday and Tuesday shows are also televised.[35][36]
Of all the major professional wrestling promotions in the world, CMLL is one of the most conservative, having earned the nickname "The serious and the stable" (La Seria y Estable) over time.[37] Matches with blood are not broadcast unless it accidentally happens during a live event. CMLL rarely uses specialty or "gimmick matches" outside a limited number ofsteel cage matches and the occasionalSuper Libre, no-disqualification matches. While other promotions have adopted matches such as theladder match, CMLL remains much more traditional. They also have strict rules for what they will allow to happen during their shows; on one occasion a match betweenDr. Wagner Jr. andL. A. Park during theCMLL 75th Anniversary Show degenerated into a brawl on the floor that was so out of control that both wrestlers were fired by CMLL a short time later.[38] CMLL also has strict rules on what wrestlers can and cannot say during their shows, a rule illustrated in 2015 where L.A. Park was fired from the promotion only three weeks after returning due to a profanity-laden rant during a CMLL show.[39]
CMLL's main programming, hosted by Alfonso Morales, Leobardo Magadan and Miguel Linares, is broadcast regularly onTelevisa in Mexico, onLATV in the United States, and formerly onTelelatino in Canada andThe Wrestling Channel in the United Kingdom. CMLL also had a syndicated show called "Sin Limite de Tiempo" ("with no time limit") which shows matches from Arena Coliseo shows and matches they could not fit onto the regular broadcast. It aired in Los Angeles onKWHY and in San Francisco onKEMO-TV. This show was followed up by "Guerreros del Ring" on Canal 52MX. Also, Spanish-language American sports channelFox Sports en Español recently[when?] started broadcasting CMLL programming. Recently[when?] CMLL also added the Mexican network Cadena Tres to its list of networks airing CMLL Wrestling.Galavision began airing CMLL wrestling in the spring of 2011. Galavision shows only a one-hour version while LATV has shown a two-hour version. In 2015, several of CMLL's shows became available live on their YouTube channel and they have held a number of internet-Pay Per Views (PPVs).[citation needed]
Each year CMLL promotes a number of signature events, some shown as pay-per-view events and others shown on regular television. Over the last couple of years CMLL have held three regular events each year and a number of one off, special events. The Major show, shown in order of when they happen during the year, include:
