Guerra de Titanes (2008) ("War of the Titans") was the twelfth annualGuerra de Titanesprofessional wrestling show promoted byAAA. The show took place on December 6, 2008 in Orizaba, Mexico, the same venue used for the 2006 and 2007 events. The Main event featured aLadder match for the vacantAAA Mega Championship betweenEl Mesias andEl Zorro and saw Mesias win the match to become a two time champion. In addition to the main event the show featured aSteel Cage MatchLucha de Apuestas where the last man left in the cage would have his hair shaved off. The participants in the cage match were brothersEl Brazo andBrazo de Plata as well asPirata Morgan,Electroshock,Super Fly andEl Elegido and saw El Brazo shaved bald as a result of his loss. As is tradition with AAA major events the wrestlers compete inside ahexagonalwrestling ring and not the four sided ring the promotion uses for television events andHouse shows.
Starting in 1997 the Mexicanprofessional wrestling,companyAAA has held a major wrestling show late in the year, either November or December, calledGuerra de Titanes ("War of the Titans"). The show often features championship matches orLucha de Apuestas or bet matches where the competitors risked theirwrestling mask or hair on the outcome of the match. InLucha Libre theLucha de Apuetas match is considered more prestigious than a championship match and a lot of the major shows feature one or moreApuesta matches. TheGuerra de Titanes show is hosted by a new location each year, emanating from cities such asMadero,Chihuahua, Chihuahua,Mexico City,Guadalajara, Jalisco and more. The 2008Guerra de Titanes show was the eleventh show in the series.
TheGuerra de Titanes show featured sixprofessional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing, scripted feuds, plots, and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as eitherheels (referred to asrudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") orfaces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
