The 49th Anniversary of Lucha Libre in Estado de México was celebrated by a major professional wrestling show produced and scripted by the Mexican lucha libre promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG; sometimes referred to as Grupo Internacional Revolución in Mexico) and took place on December 4, 2011 in Arena Naucalpan, Naucalpan, State of Mexico (Estado de México). The event commemorated the sport of lucha libre becoming allowed in the State of Mexico, with the first lucha libre show held in the state taking place in December 1962. Over the years IWRG has on occasion celebrated the anniversary, although not consistently holding an anniversary show every year.

Storylines
The event featured five professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[4]

The trio faced off against another "old school" trio, known as El Triangulo de la Muerte ("The Triangle of Death"; Cuchillo, Kahoz and Rambo) a trio that had worked primarily for the Universal Wrestling Association (UWA). In the third fall of the match Cuchillo pulled his own mask off and threw it to Super Pinocho, making it look like Super Pinocho unmasked Cuchilllo. According to lucha libre rules unmasking an opponent is an automatic disqualification, which the referee called, thinking it was intentional by Super Pinocho.[1][5]
