Background Starting in 1997 the Mexican
professional wrestling,
company AAA has held a major wrestling show late in the year, either November or December, called
Guerra de Titanes ("War of the Titans") . The show often features championship matches or
Lucha de Apuestas or bet matches where the competitors risked their
wrestling mask or hair on the outcome of the match. In
Lucha Libre the
Lucha de Apuetas match is considered more prestigious than a championship match and a lot of the major shows feature one or more
Apuesta matches. The
Guerra de Titanes show is hosted by a new location each year, emanating from cities such as
Madero,
Chihuahua, Chihuahua,
Mexico City,
Guadalajara, Jalisco and more. The 2001
Guerra de Titanes show was the fifth show in the series.
Storylines The
Guerra de Titanes show featured eight
professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing, scripted feuds, plots, and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either
heels (referred to as
rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or
faces (
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. ==Results==
