Mexican National Cruiserweight Championship

The Comisión de Box y Lucha Libre Mexico D.F. (Mexico City Boxing and Wrestling Commission) sanctioned a Mexican National Cruiserweight Championship in late 1983, allowing the Universal Wrestling Association (UWA) to host a tournament for the inaugural champion. Records are unclear as to who participated in the tournament, only that Ángel Blanco defeated Insoliton on November 13, 1984. In 1992, the reigning title holder Destructor de Idolos was forced to vacate the championship because of an injury that meant he was unable to defend the title. Rock el Cavernicolo defeated Dinamico to win the vacant championship. On May 15, 1996, Karis la Momia won the championship from Blue Demon Jr., only to relinquish it in November as he stopped working as Karis la Momia and changed his ring name to La Parka Jr. He would later regain the championship, making him the only person to hold the championship twice. La Parka Jr. did not defend the championship from winning it in 1999, until December 2008, where AAA abandoned all of the Mexican National Championships that they were promoting. ==Reigns==

A total of twelve wrestlers have held the championship throughout its history, with only one person having held it twice, La Parka Jr., who first won the title under the ring name Karis la Momia. While the championship has been inactive since 2008, there were plans to revive it in February 2013, when it was announced that Xtreme Tiger would wrestle Rey Astral for the vacant championship on February 23. The match never took place and the championship has not been seen since then. La Parka Jr.'s second reign set a longevity record, lasting 3,591 days, from 1999 until 2008. The shortest reign belonged to Charro de Jalisco, who held it for 65 days. ==Rules==

The cruiserweight championship is classified as a "National" title, which means that officially non-Mexican citizens are prohibited from challenging or holding the championship, just like all other Mexican National Championships. The lucha libre commission's official definition of the cruiserweight division in Mexico stipulates that a wrestler must weigh between and to be considered a cruiserweight. The weight limits have not always been strictly enforced. As with all professional wrestling championships, matches for the Mexican National Cruiserweight Championship were not won or lost competitively, but by a pre-planned ending to a match, with the outcome determined by the CMLL bookers and matchmakers. On occasion, a promotion declared the championship vacant, which meant there was no title holder at that point in time. This was either due to a storyline, or real-life issues such as a champion suffering an injury being unable to defend the title, or leaving the company. All title matches took place under two out of three falls rules. ==Title history==
