The AAA World Mini-Estrella Championship (Campeonato Mundial Mini AAA in Spanish) is a professional wrestling championship promoted by the Mexican Lucha Libre promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA). The championship is exclusively competed for in the Mini-Estrellas, or Minis, division. A "Mini" is not necessarily a person with dwarfism like North American midget professional wrestling, it can also be very short wrestlers who works in the Mini division.[2] The Championship was created in 2008 after Mascarita Sagrada left AAA, taking the Mexican National Mini-Estrella Championship with him, leaving AAA without a title for their Mini-Estrellas division. Being a professional wrestling championship it is not won legitimately; it is instead won via a scripted ending to a match.
History
The AAA World Mini-Estrella Championship was created in 2008 as the focal point of AAA's Mini-Estrellas division. The first champion was Mini Charly Manson who won a Mini-Estrella Championship tournament when he defeated Mini Abismo Negro and Octagoncito in the finals of the tournament that took place at the 2008 Verano de Escándalo show on September 14, 2008. Mini Charly Manson did not defend the title for over a year, mainly due to suffering two separate injuries that put him on the disabled list for most of the year.[3]
