The Crash is considered the third largest professional wrestling promotion in Mexico after the much older Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide promotions[10] and has been touted as the fastest growing lucha libre company in the world.[1] The promotion uses wrestlers from the Mexican and American independent circuit, notably wrestlers from Pro Wrestling Guerrilla. On April 6, 2018, The Crash held its first independently promoted show in the United States at The Sugar Mill in New Orleans, Louisiana.[11]
