Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The Mexican National Mini-Estrella Championship (Campeonato Nacional Mini-Estrella in Spanish), also referred to as the Mexican National Minis Championship, is an inactive professional wrestling championship sanctioned by Comisión de Box y Lucha Libre Mexico D.F. (Mexico City Boxing and Wrestling Commission). While the commission sanctioned the title, it did not promote the events at which the championship was defended. Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) promoted the events and had the everyday control of the championship.[lower-alpha 8] The championship was exclusively for wrestlers in the Mini-Estrellas, or Minis, division. A "Mini" is not necessarily a person with dwarfism, as in North American Midget wrestling; wrestlers who do not have dwarfism but are very short also work in the Mini-Estrellas division.[lower-alpha 9] As it was a professional wrestling championship, it was not won legitimately; it was instead won via a scripted ending to a match or awarded to a wrestler because of a storyline.[lower-alpha 10] All title matches took place under two out of three falls rules.[lower-alpha 11]

The championship was introduced in January 1993,[lower-alpha 12] to be used as the top championship in AAA's newly created Mini-Estrella division. Espectrito won a match against Mascarita Sagrada; Mascarita Sagrada had been the CMLL World Mini-Estrellas Champion when Antonio Peña left Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) to create AAA and was initially offered the championship without a match; Sagrada declined, opting to face Espectrito in a match to decide who would become the first champion instead.[lower-alpha 1] In 1995 then-reigning champion Super Muñequito defeated Espectrito to win the IWC World Mini-Estrella Championship, merging it with the Mexican National title.[lower-alpha 1][lower-alpha 13][lower-alpha 14] In 1997 then-reigning champion Mascarita Sagrada Jr. left AAA to work for Promo Azteca; he vacated the title and changed his name to "Tzuki".[13] Octagoncito II defeated Pentagoncito to win the vacant title.[lower-alpha 15] In 2007, Mascarita Sagrada 2000 left AAA for rival promotion CMLL, while still holding the championship.[1][2]
AAA replaced the championship with the AAA World Mini-Estrella Championship in 2008.[14] The first Mini-Estrella champion, Espectrito, was one of three wrestlers to hold the championship twice, the others being Octagoncito II and Mascarada Sagrada 2000. There was a total of 15 championship reigns shared by 11 wrestlers. Mascarita Sagrada 2000 has the longest individual championship reign at 958 days,[lower-alpha 2] as well the longest combined reigns at 1,867 days.[lower-alpha 16] Jerrito Estrada's 26-day reign was the shortest.[lower-alpha 3][lower-alpha 4]
