Mini-Estrella

The term Mini-Estrella (Spanish for "Mini-Star") is used in Mexico to describe a division of short professional wrestlers, some of whom have dwarfism. The Mexican Mini-Estrellas are comparable to midget wrestlers who compete internationally, but with the notable exception that some of the Mini-Estrellas do not have dwarfism but are simply short. Some Mini-Estrellas have later on moved on to work as regular sized competitors. The Mini-Estrellas have been featured in several promotions outside Mexico, most notably WWE and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).

Originally the height limit for the Minis division as set by Mexican wrestling commissions was 1.53 m (5 ft 0 in) but in recent years wrestlers such as Pequeño Olímpico have worked the Minis division despite being as much as 1.59 m (5 ft 2+1⁄2 in) tall. In the formative years of Mini-Estrella wrestling, the Mini-Estrellas were also referred to as "Micro Wrestlers", a term which has since been revived in the form of the Micro-Estrellas division, exclusively consisting of wrestlers with dwarfism (with most heights in the 3-4ft range).
