Mini-Estrella Wrestlers
The term ''Mini-Estrella'' (Spanish for "Mini-Star") is used in lucha libre to describe a division of short professional wrestlers or ''luchadors'', some of whom have dwarfism. The Mexican ''Mini-Estrellas'' is comparable to Midget wrestling practiced around the world, but with the notable exception that some of the ''Mini-Estrellas'' do not have dwarfism but are simply short. Some ''Mini-Estrellas'' have later on moved on to work as regular sized competitors. The ''Mini-Estrellas'' have been featured in several promotions outside Mexico, most notably World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). Originally the limit for the Mini division was but in recent years wrestlers such as Pequeño OlÃmpico have worked the Minis division despite being as much as tall. In the formative years of the ''Mini-Estrellas'' history they were also referred to as "Micro Luchadors", or "Micro Wrestlers". History The origins of the ''Mini-Estrella'' division lies in ...

Professional Wrestling Match Types
Many types of wrestling matches, sometimes called "concept" or " gimmick matches" in the jargon of the business, are performed in professional wrestling.

Mexican National Mini-Estrella Championship
The Mexican National Mini-Estrella Championship (''Campeonato Nacional Mini-Estrella'' in Spanish), also referred to as the Mexican National Minis Championship, is an inactive professional wrestling championship sanctioned by ''Comisión de Box y Lucha Libre Mexico D.F.'' (Mexico City Boxing and Wrestling Commission). While the commission sanctioned the title, it did not promote the events at which the championship was defended. Asistencia AsesorÃa y Administración (AAA) promoted the events and had the everyday control of the championship.

As it was a professional wrestling championship, it was not won legitimately; it was instead won via a scripted ending to a match or awarded to a wrestler because of ...

Roberto Rodriguez Aguirre is a Mexican ''Luchador'', or professional wrestler.
