Triplemanía IV-A
1996 Lucha Libre AAA World Wide event
Triplemanía IV-A was a major lucha libre, or professional wrestling, show promoted by the Mexican-based AAA and was the first of three Triplemanía IV shows held in 1996. The event took place on May 11, 1996 at the International Amphitheatre in Chicago, Illinois, United States and marked the first time AAA held a Triplemanía outside of Mexico and one of the few times Triplemanía was an international event. The annual Triplemanía show(s) are AAA's biggest show of the year, serving as the culmination of major storylines and feature wrestlers from all over the world competing in what has been described as AAA's version of WrestleMania or their Super Bowl event.[2]
The main event featured a Lumberjack match between the team of Konnan and Perro Aguayo fighting Pierroth, Jr. and Cien Caras. The under card featured a guest appearance by Japanese wrestler Último Dragón, who had begun a tour of Mexico weeks before the show, teaming up with Octagón and La Parka to lose to Cibernético, El Picudo and Mosco de la Merced in a traditional best two-out-of-three falls six-man "Lucha Libre rules" tag team match. The show only featured two additional matches, making it the Triplemanía show with the fewest matches.
