Production

The October 31, 2014 Día de Muertos show was the first of Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's Dia de los Muertos ("Day of the Dead") celebrations in 2014 and began a tradition of CMLL holding a major show to celebrate the Latin American holiday. As part of their Dia de los Muerte celebrations CMLL admitted all kids in costumes for free for the show.[3] CMLL held a second Dia de los Muerte celebration on Sunday November 2 as well. Both shows included the Edcanes, CMLL's ring girls and various wrestlers dressed up in traditional Día de Muertos garb. In 2014, CMLL also turned the basement of Arena México into a haunted house attraction before each show.[4]

Event

The 2014 Dia de Muertos show featured six professional wrestling matches scripted by CMLL with some wrestlers involved in scripted feuds. Wrestlers portray either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that play the part of the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they perform.[5]

At the opening of the show CMLL's Edcanes (Ring girls) were introduced, with half of them in face and body paint resembling the

Los Hombres del Camoflaje ("Men in Camouflage"; Artillero and Súper Comando) defeated Hombre Bala Jr. and Super Halcón Jr. two falls to one, after which the losing side were the first wrestlers "condemned to the underground" by King Mictlantecuhtli.[7][8]

After the fifth match of the night

L.A. Park and his son El Hijo de L.A. Park. Park made his return to CMLL after last working for them in 2008 and immediately challenged anyone in CMLL to a fight. After no one stepped forward L.A. Park and his son returned to the back.[9] Before the main event King Mictlantecuhtli was unmasked to reveal that Último Guerrero had been commanding the underworld arm throughout the night, Guerrero would reprise the role two days later on CMLL's Sunday night show. In previous weeks Guerrero had been on the receiving end of a low blow from Rush, but on the night Guerrero demonstrated why for a long time he has been considered the top rudo wrestler in CMLL as he won the third and deciding fall of a hard fought match by landing a low blow on Rush. Unlike Rush though Guerrero made sure the referee did not witness the rule breaking and instead pinned his opponent to win the match. Following the match Rush made angry challenges at Último Guerrero, including a challenge to defend the CMLL World Trios Championship against his team at an undetermined date in the future.[7][8]

Aftermath

On November 6, it was announced that L.A. Park was not joining CMLL, but was at the event to promote a partnership between CMLL and the new independent "Liga Elite" promotion.[10]
