Revision as of 06:04, 11 December 2007
In modern day lucha libre, weight divisions are only loosely applied and not especially meaningful. Early in history, they were strictly adhered to, with box y lucha comissions denying promotions permission to run title matches if the participants didn't make weight.

- Between 97 kg.and 107 kg.for Cruiserweight in Mexico.
- Heavyweight championships have a minimum weight, all others are maximum.
Titles which include Super in their name indicate a higher weight limit, in between the established normal titles. For example, the limit a CMLL World Super Lightweight Championship would be in the middle of lightweight and welterweight, perhaps at 74 kg.
Junior is the opposite, a lesser weight limit than standard for that division.
While not a weight limit, there was at one time a height limit, or dividing line, to determine wrestlers who were minis and those who were normal wrestlers. Wrestlers had to be over 5 ft /152 cm to wrestle for the general titles. Any shorter would wrestle in the mini division. Like all other the divisions, this is no longer strict, and there are many rudo minis who are actually a couple of inches over the five foot mark (the better to bully the smaller tecnico minis.)
