Verano de Escándalo (2007)

Verano de Escándalo (2007) (Spanish for "Summer of Scandal") was the eleventh annual Verano de Escándalo professional wrestling show promoted by Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA). The show took place on September 16, 2007 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. The main event featured a Domo De La Muerte cage match (Dome of Death) where the last person in the cage would have his hair shaved off. The participants were the team of "Los Hell Brothers" (Charly Manson, Chessman, Cibernético) along with El Zorro taking on the Black Family (Dark Cuervo, Dark Escoria, Dark Espíritu and Dark Ozz).

In 1997, the Mexican professional wrestling, company Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA, or Triple A; Spanish for "Assistance, Consulting, and Administration") began holding a major wrestling show during the summer, most often in September, called Verano de Escándalo ("Summer of Scandal").^[1] Verano de Escándalo was an annual event from 1997 until 2011. AAA did not hold a show in 2012 and 2013 before bringing it back in 2014, this time in June, scheduling it at the time AAA previously held their Triplemanía show.^[2] In 2012 and 2013, Triplemanía XX and Triplemanía XXI were held in August instead of the early summer.^[3] The event often features championship matches or Lucha de Apuestas or bet matches where the competitors put their wrestling mask or hair on the line. In Lucha Libre, the Lucha de Apuestas match is considered more prestigious than a championship match and many major shows feature one or more Apuesta matches. The 2007 Verano de Escándalo show was the 11th show in the series.

The Verano de Escándalo event featured six professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing, scripted storylines. Wrestlers portrayed heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico) or faces (técnicos) through a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

After the event it was announced that El Mesias had suffered an injury during the AAA World Title match, which forced a disqualification ending instead of the originally planned ending.^[4] El Mesias was out of action for over a month, receiving physical therapy for his sciatica, but was not stripped of the title during his inactivity.
