Promotion World Wrestling Association (WWA)

The WWA Light Heavyweight Championship (Campeonato Mundial peso Semi Completo de WWA in Spanish) is a singles professional wrestling championship promoted by World Wrestling Association (WWA) in Mexico since 1987. Being a professional wrestling championship, it is not won legitimately; it is instead won via a scripted ending to a match or awarded to a wrestler because of a storyline. The official definition of the Light Heavyweight weight class in Mexico is between 92 kg (203 lb) and 97 kg (214 lb), but is not always strictly enforced.[Note 1][1] It was first won by El Cobarde II in 1987 and has since then been held by at least 9 wrestlers, although records for parts of the title history has not been found. The current champion is Atlantis, who won it in December 2014. Since the WWA titles have been largely unsanctioned since the late 1990s it means that they can be defended on any wrestling show, not just limited to WWA promoted shows.[2]
