Title Changes in CMLL this year

Had a question about this in email. This is the list, not in any particular order

• Ephesto beat Rey Bucanero for the CMLL LH title
• Hijo del Fantasma beat Averno for the CMLL Middlweight Title
• Mascara Dorada won a cibernetico for the CMLL Super Lightweight Title
• Sombra & Volador beat Averno & Mephisto for the CMLL Tag Team Titles
• Hijo del Fantasma, Hector Garza, La Mascara beat Negro Casas, Ultimo Guerrero, Atlantis for the CMLL Trios Title
• Negro Casas defeated Mistico for the CMLL Welterweight Title
• Texano Jr. upset Atlantis for the NWA LH Title
• Mephisto beat Sombra for the NWA Welterweight Title
• Poder Mexica beat Volador, Sombra, and Sagrado for the Mexican Trios Titles
• Princesa Blanca defeated Marcela for the Mexican Women’s Title

That’s 10 title changes, which seems like a lot. Since EMLL switched to CMLL and introduced it’s own set of titles, it’s the six highest year of title changes in CMLL rings.

20 title wins in 1992
18 in 1993
17 in 1991
16 in 2007
13 in 1994
11 in 1997, 1998
10 in 2001, 2004, 2009

1991-1993 had the first champions being decided for all the CMLL titles, most of the Mexican National Titles in CMLL possession before AAA took some with them, and plenty of title changes resulting from that split.

If title changes continue on this pace this year (?), they’ll end up 18. No title has changed titles twice, but there is a tag team title match supposed to go down tonight in Acapulco.

Titles changed on paper, or CMLL titles changed outside of CMLL are not counted. CMLL Japan titles and the Arena Coliseo titles are skipped. (1998 would be higher if they were included.) You can see my (quick, probably including a typo) work here.
