The CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship (''Campeonato Arena Coliseo de Parejas CMLL'' in Spanish) is a professional wrestling Tag team championship promoted by the Mexican Lucha Libre wrestling based promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) since 2000. The CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship is considered a secondary championship; with the CMLL World Tag Team Championship being the primary championship for the tag team division in CMLL. Like all professional wrestling championships, its holders are determined by promoters or promotions, not by athletic competition. As the name indicates the championship is only defended in ''Arena Coliseo'' in Mexico City, Mexico; one of CMLL's primary venues. CMLL also promotes in "Arena Coliseo" in Guadalajara on a regular basis and occasionally in other regional ''Arena Coliseos'' across Mexico but has restricted championship matches to Arena Coliseo except for a few select occasions where the scheduled Arena Coliseo shows were moved to Arena Mexico for various reasons. The championship has only been won and lost in Arena Coliseo. The Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship was originally created in the late 1960s or early 1970s by Empressa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL; who would change their name to CMLL around 1990) as a secondary title to the Mexican National Tag Team Championship, which was the promotion's top tag team title at the time. Records of champions from that era are sparse with no records of who was the first champion; nor are there any records of exactly when the title was abandoned in the 1980s.〔 Due to sparse record keeping of local wrestling in Mexico between the 1960s and early 1980s no clear history exists from that time, it has been verified that ''Los Villanos'' (Villano I and Villano II), Kung Fu and Kato Kung Lee and the team of Dios Rojo and Dios Negro all held the Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship due to references to the teams defending the championship at an EMLL show.〔 The Championship was brought back in 2000, specifically to help showcase younger wrestling talent as they work on a local level before "graduating" to working full-time for the main CMLL roster. The first champions were found via a one night, eight-team tournament held to determine the first ever CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Champions. On the night the team of Alan Stone and Chris Stone (Sometimes billed as "Motorcross") defeated the teams of Neutron and La Flecha, Ricky Marvin and Sombra de Plata and finally Fugaz and Virus to become the first CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Champions in the modern era.〔 The Stone brothers defended the title until 2002, after which the championship was barely mentioned, much less promoted by CMLL. The title is considered inactive after the Stone brothers' last recorded title defense on October 22, 2002 against Valetin Mayo and Karloff Lagarde Jr. When both Stone brothers left CMLL in 2005 to work for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración the Championship was finally declared vacant. In June 2008 CMLL announced that they were bringing the CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship back. A 16-team tournament was held to crown new champions, the competitors were a mixture of regular teams and random parings of CMLL low to mid-card workers. The preliminary rounds were held on June 22, 2008 and saw the teams of Stuka Jr. and Flash (Collectively known as ''Los Bombadieros''; "The Bombardiers") and ''Los Infernales'' ("The Infernal Ones"; Euforia and Nosferatu) each win three matches to qualify for the final. On June 29, 2008 Stuka Jr. and Flash defeated ''Los Infernales'' to become the second CMLL Arena Coliseum Tag Team Champions of the modern age. Flash later changed his ring name to "Fuego". On March 3, 2013, ''La Fiebre Amarilla'' ("The Yellow Fever"; Namajague and Okumura) defeated Fuego and Stuka Jr. to become the third modern age CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Champions, ending the previous champions' four and a half year reign. On November 4, 2013, Delta and Guerrero Maya Jr. became the fourth modern age Arena Coliseo Tag Team Champions.〔 After a long building rivalry with the then champions Delta and Guerrero Maya Jr., ''La Comando Caribeño'' ("The Caribbean Commando"; Misterioso Jr. and Sagrado) became the fifth modern day Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship on February 28, 2015.〔 The current champions are ''La Comando Caribeño'' who defeated Delta and Guerrero Maya, Jr. to become the fifth championship of the modern era. No team or individual has held the championship more than once after it was brought back in 2000, but records indicate that team of Kung Fu and Kato Kung Lee held the championship on at least two separate occasions, possibly more.〔 The current champions are also the shortest reigning champions of the modern age, and counting, if they remain champions until November 1, 2015 they will surpass Namajague and Okumura's reign of 245 days. ''Los Bombardieros'' reign is the longest of the modern age, 1,708 days although there were extended periods of time where the championship was not defended.〔 ==Title history== ;Key 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
