Mexico is the southernmost country in North America. There is water on both sides of the country with the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Gulf Of Mexico to the east.
Its population is 131,946,900 according to the 2025 census and the area is 1,972,500 kilometers or 761,610 square miles.
According to history, pro wrestling began in the 19th century but became popular in the 1930s. A promotion known as Empressa Mexicana de Lucha Libre became the first wrestling operative one in the country in 1933. It was founded by Salvador Lutteroth Gonzalez. In 1934-35, El Santo, Blue Demon and Mil Mascaras were dubbed as the "Big Three" of the Lucha Libre tradition.
Before the "Big Three," Enrique Ugartechea was the first professional wrestler and pioneer of sports entertainment.
Empressa Mexicana de Lucha Libre is the oldest active wrestling promotion today worldwide. It is now known as Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre or CMLL. That occurred in 1991 when CMLL broke away from the NWA. Currently, as of 2011, CMLL has a partnership with New Japan Pro Wrestling.
There are several other promotions in Mexico that rival CMLL, the biggest being Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide or AAA. It was founded in 1992 by Marisela Pena and Dorian Roldan. The promotion was acquired by the WWE in 2011.
