The show celebrates the anniversary of the founding of CMLL, originally known as Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre.

Shocker was originally scheduled to be part of the team but in the days leading up to the event, he was quietly replaced with Atlantis without announcing why.

EMLL canceled the event both because of the general devastation but also over fears that Arena México might not be structurally sound after the earthquake.

[6] In 1991 EMLL was rebranded as "Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre" and thus held the CMLL 59th Anniversary Show, the first under the new name, on September 18, 1992.

[5] Traditionally CMLL holds their major events on Friday Nights, replacing their regularly scheduled Super Viernes show.

[2] The event featured six professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines.
