Championship history
The earliest records of the title dates it to at least 1957 and it is promoted as being the same lineage in use today. Between 1964 and 1982 there are few documents confirming champions and lineage but it's generally accepted that the title has the lineage of the titles won in 1957 by Los Hermanos Shadow (Blue Demon and Black Shadow). Since it’s a "National" title it’s ostentatiously defended in various Mexican promtions, but in reality it’s been promoted mainly by Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) since its inception in 1993 and rarely defended outside their shows.
In the mid 1990s there was some confusion about the true lineage of the titles. In December 1995 one half of the championship team, Fuerza Guerrera left AAA and the promotion declared the title vacant. On January 12, 1996 new champions were crowned when Juventud Guerrera and Psicosis defeated Volador and El Mexicano to claim the titles. When Juventud also left AAA the Comisión de Box y Lucha Libre decided that the titles belonged to Los Guerreras and nullified the reign of Juventud Guerrera and Psicosis. When Juventud and Fuerza began working for different promotions thus being unable to defend the titles they were declared vacant once again and returned to AAA. AAA Would not fill the vacancy until May 1997
With a recent change in booking policy AAA man no longer recognize the Mexican National Tag Team titles despite being held by two wrestlers under AAA contract.[1] The team has defended the titles on House shows but the have not been mentioned in promotional material or on TV since the announcement. The current champions are Octagón and La Parka (the AAA version). They won the titles on June 20, 2006 by defeating Electroshock and Chessman. They are the 31st. overall champions in modern times, it's Octagóns first title reign while La Parka held the titles once before, teaming with Mascara Sagrada. The team of "Los Destructores" (Tony Arce and Volcano) is the team that has held the title most times, with three. Tony Arce has held the title four times which is the highest individual count.
Championship rules
The title is a "National" title which means that non-Mexican citizens are prohibited from challenging or holding the championship. As the championship is a Heavyweight it is supposed to be for wrestlers 97 kg (210 lb) or over.
The title is generally not allowed to be defended in any other type of match than a regular match, as is the case for all the Mexican National titles. The commission has been inconsistent on enforcing the rules, in one case they stripped Psicosis (the AAA version) of the Mexican National Middleweight Championship for defending it in a hardcore match, in another case they allowed the Mexican National Heavyweight Championship to change hands in a Steel cage match.[2]
