Background.
Starting in 1997 the Mexican professional wrestling, company AAA has held a major wrestling show late in the year, either November or December, called "Guerra de Titanes" ("War of the Titans") . The show often features championship matches or "Lucha de Apuestas" or bet matches where the competitors risked their wrestling mask or hair on the outcome of the match. In "Lucha Libre" the "Lucha de Apuetas" match is considered more prestigious than a championship match and a lot of the major shows feature one or more "Apuesta" matches. The "Guerra de Titanes" show is hosted by a new location each year, emanating from cities such as Madero, Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico City, Guadalajara, Jalisco and more. The 2001 "Guerra de Titanes" show was the fifth show in the series.
Storylines.
The "Guerra de Titanes" 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.
