Triplemanía

The first Triplemanía event was held on April 30, 1993, at Plaza de Toros in Mexico City, Mexico. The event drew 48,000 spectators, the largest number for any Triplemanía, and the largest number of spectators for any wrestling event in Mexico.^[1] In 1994, 1995, and 1996, AAA held three Triplemanía events; while two events were held in 1997. From 1998 to 2019, only one event has been held.

Triplemanía has twice been held outside of Mexico; Triplemanía IV-A was held in Chicago, Illinois, and Triplemanía VIII was held in Tokyo, Japan.^[2][3] As is tradition with major AAA shows, Triplemanía feature inside a hexagonal wrestling ring; instead of the usual four-sided ring used for regular television events and house shows.

The Copa Bardahl (Spanish for Bardahl Cup) is a professional wrestling match based on a traditional battle royal, sponsored by the automotive brand Bardahl. The match is usually held annually at Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide's TripleMania events. The rules are similar to both WWE's Royal Rumble match and Major League Wrestling's Battle Riot where 12 to 17 wrestlers compete; two competitors start the match with another competitor entering every 90 seconds. In addition to eliminating opponents by throwing them over the top rope with both of their feet touching the floor like a traditional battle royal, eliminations can also occur via pinfall or submission.^[45][46][47]
