Héroes Inmortales III Héroes Inmortales III : Homenaje a Don Antonio Peña ( Spanish for " Immortal Heros III : Tribute to Antonio Peña ) was a professional wrestling major show event produced by Asistencia Asesoría y Administración ( AAA ) that took place on September 26 , 2009 in Arena Monterrey , Monterrey , Mexico , commemorating the third anniversary of the death of AAA founder Antonio Peña . The main event of the show was a AAA World Heavyweight Championship title defense where current champion Dr . Wagner , Jr . defends against challenger El Mesías . The other feature match on the show is the third annual " Copa Antonio Peña " , a 12 - man Battle Royal . The show was originally called just " Homenaje a Antonio Peña " but was renamed in the weeks leading up to the event . Background . The event featured seven professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre - existing scripted feuds or storylines . Wrestlers portray either villains ( referred to as " Rudos " in Mexico ) or fan favorites ( " Técnicos " in Mexico ) as they compete in wrestling matches with pre - determined outcomes . The main event was originally scheduled to be a " Luchas de Apuestas " , hair vs . hair match between Charly Manson and Chessman , playing off their long running storyline . In the week leading up to the event Manson announced that he had left AAA and would not be participating in the match . On the Mexican wrestling program " Tercera Caída " Manson stated that he left AAA because he was not given enough dates to earn a living and unlike the non - Mexican AAA workers he did not have a guaranteed contract . He also stated that he was not offered enough money to lose to Chessman , revealing that the original ending to Manson vs . Chessman was for Chessman to win . On September 24 , 2009 AAA , through Marisela Peña and Joaquín Roldan , confirmed that Charly Manson had indeed left AAA but that Chessman was still booked in an " Apuesta " match for the show . At Triplemania XVII Dr . Wagner , Jr . won the AAA World Heavyweight Championship from El Mesías . At the following event , the 2009 " Verano de Escándalo " , Dr . Wagner , Jr . successfully defended the title against El Mesías and Cibernético . Following a match on the August 30 , 2009 TV taping El Mesías challenged Dr . Wagner , Jr . for another title match , which was accepted by the champion . The type of match the two will face off in has yet to be determined . At AAA ' s previous major show Alex Koslov won the AAA Cruiserweight Championship from Extreme Tiger in a match that also included Rocky Romero , Jack Evans and Teddy Hart . At the subsequent TV taping on August 30 , 2009 AAA held a cage match where the first person to escape was named the number one contender and the last person left in the ring was forced to leave AAA . Extreme Tiger was the first person out of the cage and thus the number one contender , but the last person in the cage was Koslov , the reigning champion . After the match Koslov was fired by Joaquin Roldan . Whether Koslov ' s firing is a storyline or not remains to be seen . Following the termination AAA announced that the Cruiserweight title was vacated and that Extreme Tiger , Rocky Romero , Jack Evans , Teddy Hart and Sugi San would face off at the Memorial show to determine who would become the new Cruiserweight champion . On September 9 , 2009 the full card was announced including a 13 - man gauntlet for the " Copa Antonio Peña " and a " Lucha o Oscuras " , a glow in the dark match where all the competitors wear fluorescent colored outfits and wrestle under a blacklight that is traditionally part of the Antonio Peña Memorials . Event . On the night of the show it was revealed that despite legal threats from AAA ' s management Charly Manson did not show for the scheduled match and AAA announced that he would be replaced . La Parka , Cibernético , El Zorro and an unannonced Konan Big all made appearances in the arena to tease that they would be the replacement until Electroshock came to the ring . He stated that he would take his brother ' s place in the match against Chessman . Electoshock lost due to interference from Konnan , Jennifer Blake and Lorelei Lee and had his hair shaved off . After the match La Parka came out and got the referee , " Hijo de Tirantes " hair shaved off as well for missing the interference . Konan Big , already revealed as being in the building , was the final entrant in the " Copa Antonio Peña " . Originally Latin Lover was supposed to be the final surprise entrant , but he no - showed the event and was therefore replaced by Konan Big . Due to taking part in an earlier match , Electroshock was taken off the match , which now had 12 participants . Unlike the previous years , this year the " Copa " was a Battle Royal which Cibernético won , lastly eliminating Konan Big . Results . Copa Antonio Peña . A new entrant came out every 60 seconds .
