The CMLL World Welterweight Championship (Campionato Mundial Peso Welter de CMLL in Spanish) is a professional wrestling world championship in the Mexican wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). The official definition of a Welterweight in Mexico is a person between 70 kg (150 lb) and 78 kg (170 lb) but is not strictly adhered to these days. Because the championship is a professional wrestling championship, it is not won or lost competitively but instead by the decision of the bookers of a wrestling promotion. The title is awarded after the chosen champion "wins" a match to maintain the illusion that professional wrestling is a competitive sport.

Famous quotes containing the word world:
“The world is eaten up by boredom.... You can’t see it all at once. It is like dust. You go about and never notice, you breathe it in, you eat and drink it. It is sifted so fine, it doesn’t even grit on your teeth. But stand still for an instant and there it is, coating your face and hands. To shake off this drizzle of ashes you must be for ever on the go. And so people are always “on the go.””
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
