Production

Background

In 1992 then-Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre booker and match maker Antonio Peña left the company alongside a number of wrestlers to form the Mexican professional wrestling, company Asistencia Asesoría y Administración, later known simply as "AAA". Over the next decade-and-a-half Peña and the team behind AAA built the promotion into one of the biggest wrestling companies in the world. On October 5, 2006 Peña died from a heart attack. After Peña's death his brother-in-law Jorge Roldan took control of the company with both his wife Marisela Peña, Antonio's sister, and Dorian Roldan also taking an active part in AAA. On October 7, 2007,AAA held a show in honor of Peña's memory, the first ever "Antonio Peña Memorial Show". The following year AAA held the second ever "Antonio Peña Memorial Show", making it an annual tradition for the company to commemorate the passing of their founder. In 2008 the show was rebranded as Héroes Inmortales, retroactively rebranding the 2007 and 2008 event as Héroes Inmortales I and Héroes Inmortales II.
AAA has held a Héroes Inmortales every year since then, with the 2017 version of the show being Héroes Inmortales XI. The Héroes Inmortales hosts the Copa Antonio Peña tournament each year, a multi-man tournament with various wrestlers from AAA or other promotions competing for a trophy. The tournament format has usually been either a gauntlet match or a multi-man torneo cibernetico elimination match. For the 2017 show the winner of the Copa Antonio Peña would also win the AAA Latin American Championship.
