The first
Guerra de Titanes was held on December 13, 1997, and was shown on
pay-per-view (PPV). It was later shown as a television special. Since 1997
Guerra de Titanes has been the "end of the year" show for AAA. All
Guerra de Titanes shows have been held in Mexico, with most events (six) being held in
Madero,
Tamaulipas. The
2004 Guerra de Titanes event holds the record for the largest crowd, with 18,500 spectators. As is tradition with AAA major events the wrestlers compete inside a
hexagonal
wrestling ring and not the four-sided ring the promotion uses for television events and
house shows. As of 2014
Guerra de Titanes has seen twelve
Lucha de Apuestas matches, with eleven people having their hair shaved as a result of losing (El Picudo,
Heavy Metal, May Flowers, Polvo de Estrellas,
Sangre Chicana,
Brazo de Plata,
Scorpio Jr.,
El Brazo,
Faby Apache,
Vampiro and
Pimpinela Escarlata) and two wrestlers being unmasked (
Jaque Mate and
Super Fly).
Guerra de Titanes has seen ten successful title defenses and nineteen title changes over the years. In 2003 the event hosted the "Televisa tag team tournament", the only year it was ever held. In 2015,
Guerra de Titanes was scheduled to take place on December 4, but was canceled by AAA a week earlier with no explanation given. It was later announced that it would take place on January 22, 2016. ==Dates, venues, and main events==
