Fantastica Mania , sometimes spelled as Fantasticamania , is the collective name of a series of annual professional wrestling major show co-promoted by Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and Japanese New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). Fantastica Mania is a series of two or three shows that has taken place in Japan, in January of each year since 2010. The event is hosted by NJPW in Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan . So far eighteen Fantastica Mania shows have taken place.
Event history [ ] The Fantastica Mania event series was a result of the working relationship between Japanese-based New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) and Mexican Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) who had been exchanging wrestlers for sort or long periods of time for several years before 2011. In late 2010 NJPW and CMLL announced that they would co-promote two shows in January 2011 under the name Fantastica Mania . The shows would take place in Japan organized by NJPW with CMLL sending a number of their wrestlers to Japan to work the shows. In 2011 and 2012 some CMLL wrestlers toured with NJPW prior or after the shows, while some of the wrestlers flew in just for the show. In 2014, the Fantastica Mania tour was expanded to five days, with events for the first time scheduled to take place outside of Tokyo 's Korakuen Hall , in Osaka and Kyoto . In 2015, Fantastica Mania was held over six shows in Osaka, Takamatsu , Kyoto and Tokyo. In 2016, Fantastica Mania will again be held over six shows in Kōchi , Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo.
As of the conclusion of the 2015 Fantastica Mania tour 61 invididual wrestlers have competed in 115 matches split over 18 shows in total. Máscara Dorada and La Sombra are the only wrestlers to appear on all 18 shows while Gedo , Jushin Thunder Liger , Okumura and Yujiro Takahashi worked at least one match on each of the five tours. King Fale , Kenny Omega , Toru Yano , Sho Tanaka and Yohei Komatsu have only worked on one show in total. The Fantastica Mania events has hosted sixteen championship matches, with three title changes; Ryusuke Taguchi defeated Máscara Dorada to win the CMLL World Welterweight Championship , Apollo 55 Prince Devitt and Ryusuke Taguchi ) defeated Golden☆Lovers (Kota Ibushi and Kenny Omega ) to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship and La Sombra defeated Dragón Rojo Jr. to win the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship . The CMLL World Middleweight Championship , IWGP Tag Team Championship , CMLL World Trios Championship , CMLL World Welterweight Championship , NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship , IWGP Intercontinental Championship , Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship and CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship were all successfully defended. Fantastica Mania has hosted one Lucha de Apuestas Luchas de Apuestas match is the most important match type in CMLL, NJPW hardly ever promotes matches of this type. The match saw Tiger Mask put his mask on the line against Tomohiro Ishii , who lost and had his hair shaved off after the match.
