Editing Independent circuit (section)

===Mexico===
{{see also|List of professional wrestling promotions in Mexico}}
[[Lucha libre]] has many more independent wrestlers in proportion to the rest of North America, because of the weight classes prevalent in the Mexican league system as well as its emphasis on multiple person tag matches; just about anyone with ability can emerge from an independent promotion into either [[Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide|AAA]] or [[Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre]] and be a champion there. Independent Mexican wrestlers may use a lot of gimmicks, including some that may be based on [[copyright]]ed characters from American television shows, such as ''[[Thundercats]]'' and ''[[X-Men]]''. (These [[Gimmick (professional wrestling)|gimmicks]] are often changed if the wrestler playing them makes it into AAA or CMLL; the most prominent example of non-compliance with this method is midget wrestler Chucky from AAA, whose gimmick is based on the ''[[Child's Play (franchise)|Child's Play]]'' movies.)
