Championship History
The Trios Championship was created in 1985, endorsed by the Comisión and controlled by CMLL. The finals of the tournament to crown the first champions saw Los Infernales (the team of MS-1, Pirata Morgan and El Satánico) defeat Los Brazos (El Brazo, Brazo de Oro and Brazo de Plata) to become the first champions. Los Brazos would gain the titles 9 months later but only hold them for a short while. In February 1986 Los Brazos became the first team to hold the title twice as they defeated Dos Caras, Villaño III and Villaño IV for the Championship. In 1992 AAA was formed and the then reigning champions Cien Caras, Máscara Año 2000 and Universo 2000 left CMLL to join AAA and brought the Meixcan National Trios Championship with them as it was not a CMLL owned title. AAA were granted the right to control the title from 1992 on, later on when AAA began working with Promotora Mexicana de Lucha Libre (PROMELL) both promotions used the Trios title. In 1996 AAA and PROMELL stopped working together and the title was vacated. CMLL was granted the right to promote the title from that point on and held a tournament to crown new champions. Blue Panther, Fuerza Guerrera and El Signo won the tournament and would go on to hold the titles for 1,728 days. On June 30, 2003 Nicho el Millonario, one third of the Championship team, did not show for a scheduled title defense and the team were stripped of the title. Their scheduled opponents, Los Nuevo Infernales (Sátanico, Averno and Mephisto), were offered the titles by forfeit but declined. An eight-team tournament was held, with the finals on December 12, 2003 saw El Felino, Safari and Volador, Jr. become the 23nd Trios champions.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Considered in its entirety, psychoanalysis won’t do. It’s an end product, moreover, like a dinosaur or a zeppelin; no better theory can ever be erected on its ruins, which will remain for ever one of the saddest and strangest of all landmarks in the history of twentieth-century thought.”
—Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
