[5] 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.

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

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

The first significant match between the two took place on November 13, 2011, as Rush successfully defended the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship against El Terrible.

[8] The following month on December 25, Rush and El Terrible were the two final survivors in a torneo cibernetico match used to determine who would fight for the vacant CMLL World Heavyweight Championship the following week.

Rush and El Terrible eventually made it to the finals of the tournament on March 2, 2012 at Homenaje a Dos Leyendas, where they were defeated by the team of Atlantis and Mr.

[13][14] On September 9, only five days before the anniversary show, Rush defeated Rey Bucanero in a steel cage match to retain the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship.

[20][21] Two weeks later they were on opposite sides of a six-man tag team match at the 2013 Homenaje a Dos Leyendas show, where Rush, Rayo de Jalisco Jr. and Shocker defeated El Terrible, Mr. Niebla and Universo 2000 by disqualification.

[22] Gerardo Cuéllar, a reporter for the Mexican "Deportivoros" Sports News website, wrote an article entitled "The 79th Anniversary, nothing new in CMLL", where he noted that while the main event match itself was a "good fight" it also displayed little imagination from the bookers of CMLL as they had the established rudo veteran wrestler lose to the young tecnico Rush, "sacrificing" El Terrible.

[23] Apolo Valdés who writes for MedioTiempo, a MSN published Mexican sports news site, described the main event as a match with "strong moves" and "Impressive punishment", noting that both Rush and El Terrible worked a very physical, hard hitting match, noting that the crowd was behind the supposed rudo El Terrible and booed the tecnico Rush.
