(Mexico City Boxing and Wrestling Commission). From its creation in 1983 it was not promoted by one specific promotion but shared between many Mexican promotions primarily, but not exclusively Empressa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL). In the mid-1990s Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) gained primary booking control of the championship.[Note 1] 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 Cruiserweight class in Mexico is between 97 kg (210 lb) and 107 kg (240 lb), but is not always strictly enforced.[Note 2][1]
Ángel Blanco became the first National Cruiserweight Champion when he won the inargual tournament on November 13, 1984 when he defeated Insolito. In the mid-1990s AAA gained control of the championship when then champion Blue Demon, Jr. began working for AAA. When he lost the Cruiserweight title to Karis La Momia AAA took full control of the title. In 1996 Karis la Momia changed his ring character to La Parka and had to vacate the title as his past as Karis was not publicly acknowledged. In 1999 La Parka regained the title, becoming the only two time champion. The title has barely been defended since early the 2000s and is generally considered inactive today.

- ^ In this statement, "control" refers to the every day use of the championship, determining which storylines the championship is being used in, who gets to challenge for it and how to use it in a public relations sense.
- ^ The most recent case of this is Mephisto's holding the NWA World Welterweight Championship, a belt with a 78 kg (170 lb) upper limit despite weighing 90 kg (200 lb).
- ^ The exact date on which the title was vacated is not known, which means the title reign lasted between 642 and 856 days
