Background

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.[1] 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 in traditional Día de Muertos garb. In 2014, CMLL also turned the basement of Arena México into a haunted house attraction before each show.[2] CMLL has held one or more shows to celebrate the holiday annually since 2014, with 2019 marking the sixth year in a row.[3][4] The 2019 show featured the Mexican god of death known as "Amotlamini" or "Amo-tlamini" as the main character directing his minions during the show. Amo-tlamini will be portrayed by young wrestler Retro.[5]
