The 1997 Verano de Escándalo (Spanish for "Summer of Scandal") was the first ever Verano de Escándalo professional wrestling show promoted by Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA). The show took place on September 14, 1997 in Tonalá, Jalisco, Mexico. The Main event featured a Steel Cage Elimination Match, Luchas de Apuestas which meant that the last man left in the cage would have his hair shaved off.
