It seems to me that Dos Caras doesn;t really get the credit he deserves. I think it has to do that Mil Mascaras was a top superstar and all-time great. We always here Santo, Blue Demon, Canek, any ideas why Dos Caras is not really on those same list.
While looking at the 85-86 membership listing, I noticed that the Dominican Republic was an NWA Member territory. I have the Title-History book and it shows a Dominican Repulic heavyweight and tag team titles for the area. Only it's history is from '83, I think (don't have it in front of me).
Does anyone know if these titles were abandonded at that time (after '83)? Did they recognize the W.W.C. titles from that point?
I don't know much about lucha, but I was wondering a) what's the difference (if any) between EMLL and CMLL, and B) I was looking for some recommendations for CMLL tapes to check out.

Does anybody have any information on the Latin American Wrestling Association. All I know is that Konnan was the first champion sometime during 1990 and Psicosis won the Welterweight title sometime early last year. Any info. would help. thanks.
