EMLL joined the National Wrestling Alliance as it's Mexican affiliate as NWA-EMLL but they pulled out in the 1980's due to various promoters becoming more self-centered and the WWE's national expansion. At this time, they changed their name to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre to make them sound more international (such as when Jim Crockett Promotions became World Championship Wrestling).
