Production

Background

AAA founder

El Toro bullfighting arena in Tijuana, Baja California on May 27, 1994.[1][3][4][5]

Storylines

Jushin Thunder Liger
traveled from Japan for the show.

The Triplemanía show featured eight professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

Aftermath

The show was a direct build to

steel cage match.[6]

A few days after the show the then-Mexican National Middleweight Champion was involved in a car accident where he injured his hand. Due to the injury the local boxing and wrestling commission could not give him medical clearance to wrestle against Blue Panther at Triplemanía II-C, causing him to forfeit the championship to Blue Panther.[9][10]

Reception

John Molinario, who writes about wrestling for the

Canadian Online Explorer, described the show as "possibly the best TripleMania show ever." and stated that it was "from top to bottom a sensational show".[4] Wrestling Observer Newsletter founder and editor Dave Meltzer commented that the "show was awesome. It was among the greatest shows I probably ever saw" after witnessing the show live and in person.[4] Meltzer rated the "Atómicos" tag team match at four-and-a-half star, the lucha de apuestas match at four-and-three-quarters stars, while giving the main event six-man tag team match four stars.[11]
