Triplemanía


Triplemanía is the biggest annual professional wrestling event promoted by the Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide promotion and is traditionally held in May or June each year, commemorating the anniversary of the foundation of AAA. A majority of the shows have been presented as pay-per-view events, with only a few being shown as Television specials on the Televisa channel. The Triplemanía show features culminations of long building storylines, usually ending at Triplemanía. Some years Triplemanía was not a single show, but a series of shows - either two or three per year, but in recent years it has been a single show. The show has been promoted for 27 years, with 33 shows in total under the Triplemanía banner. The name is a combination of how "AAA" is pronounced in Spanish, "Triple A" and WrestleMania, WWE's biggest annual show. The latest event, Triplemanía Regia, took place on December 1, 2019 at the Estadio de Béisbol Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico.

Event history

The first Triplemanía event was held on April 30, 1993 at Plaza de Toros in Mexico City, Mexico. The event drew 48,000 spectators, the largest number for any Triplemanía, indeed the largest number of spectators for any wrestling event in Mexico ever. In 1994, 1995 and 1996 AAA held three Triplemanía events and in 1997 they held two, in subsequent years only one event has been held. Twice Triplemanía has been held outside of Mexico, Triplemanía IV-A was held in Chicago, Illinois, and Triplemanía VIII was held in Tokyo, Japan. Since Triplemanía XX in 2012, the event has been held in August in Mexico City Arena. As is tradition with major AAA shows, the wrestlers compete inside a hexagonal wrestling ring and not the usual four-sided ring the promotion uses for regular television events and house shows.
