History Wrestling / CMLL

* TheBadGuyWins In 2009 tradition was broken during the ''Torneo Gran Alternativa'' when Shigeo Okumura attacked veteran Camorra in protest of Yujiro Takahashi teaming with a Mexican, leading to Tetsuya Naito joining up with him as No Limit and winning the whole thing.

* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Piledrivers of all kinds have traditionally drawn disqualifications. However, some have managed to get a way with some variations, such as Yoker's terrifying Martinete special.

* GreaterScopeParagon: CMLL is one of the promotions that recognizes the authority of Comision de Box y Lucha Libre de Mexico, D.F, although they became increasingly relaxed over the decades as CMLL introduced its own title belts the athletic commission does have direct control of.

!!! ''Tropes associada con CMLL'':

* SmugSnake: When CMLL made its deal with Wrestling/RingOfHonor official, the first wrestler they showcased was Matt Taven, even though he hadn't been in an ROH ring in eight months, possibly having something to do with him claiming to be the most decorated athlete in the company [[labelnote:yes]] more than Wrestling/AustinAries, Eddie Edwards, Wrestling/RoderickStrong, Wrestling/JayLethal or The Briscoes[[/labelnote]] and his promises to bring the soon to be created ROH six man tag belts with his yet to be seen New Kingdom. Taven's Kingdom would win the belts but instead of bringing them Taven stayed on the other side of the border after failing to beat NWA World Historic Middleweight Champion Ultimo Guerrero and began using The Guerrero Special on ROH television, daring Guerrero to come to the US and do something about it.
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: Rare romance language example. Gran Hamada was known exclusively as ''El'' Gran Hamada while wrestling for EMLL.
* StrangeBedfellows: Torneo Increibles de Parejas, Arena Puebla and Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles require a technico and a rudo to team up. Sometimes they may not have any particular relationship prior but more often, they do.

* FinalBattle: While those attending live usually get to see a few more events, to foreign viewers ''Sin Piedad'' marked the end of the year for everyone else, excepting when Sin Silada was pushed back to December in 2009 and tradition seemingly ending in until 2016, when CMLL opened the year with ''Sin Piedad''.

** Though it predates the promotion by at least seven years, EMLL had one of the earliest and longest running legacies in the profession, the black leather masked Maravilla Enmascarada (specifically, Salvador Lutteroth named a new wrestler after an older Masked Marvel). There have been at least 26 [[SecretIdentity unidentified men to use the gimmick.]] Several other legacy characters have followed in his wake, including Santo. Although the Masked Marvel traditionally existed to be eventually unmasked until another heel/rudo took up the identity, it was with Santo where the idea of never removing the mask took hold.

* TropeMaker: The eldest of the NWA feds. A good decade before the foundation of the NWA, EMLL had already set up shop south of the border. There were organizations older than EMLL in the NWA, but they either went under or were not continuously active.

'''''Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL)'''''[[note]]Spanish for "World Wrestling Council," not to be confused with the World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico[[/note]] is a UsefulNotes/{{Mexic|o}}an ProfessionalWrestling, or, ''lucha libre'', promotion and the oldest active wrestling promotion in the world. CMLL is also one of the premier promotions of the Americas, being only the second since the sport entered the region to draw a million dollars at the gate. It was started in 1933 by Salvador Lutteroth, who ran the first show under the name '''''Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre'''''[[note]]Mexican Wrestling Enterprise[[/note]]. EMLL later helped establish the legitimacy of then fledgling Wrestling/NationalWrestlingAlliance and has still interacted with it over the years, even after leaving the Alliance and crowning its own world champions. CMLL has also retained working relations with other former members such as Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling and Wrestling/{{TNA}}.

** El Elegido was considered a sex symbol and continued to be even after leaving CMLL, even after turning 40.

* MsFanservice: A role taken by Las Diosas del Ring, who hold up cards signifying caídas instead of wrestle. But then many luchadoras might count during the body building contests, if that's your thing.

* DisneyOwnsThisTrope: CMLL had a dispute with a wrestler on the independent circuit over who used the Mistico gimmick first. CMLL won, causing that Mistico to become [[Wrestling/{{Hunico}} Incognito]]. When CMLL's Mistico then took an extended leave from Mexico, Dragon Lee got the gimmick, making that Mistico become Myzteziz when he came back.

* FinalBattle: While Anniversary is probably their biggest show, ''Sin Piedad'' always closed out the year when it occurred, until 2016, when CMLL opened the year with ''Sin Piedad''.

* LongRunner: It got started in the Great Depression and has chugged along since
