Storylines
The event featured an undetermined number of 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] Due to the nature of keeping mainly paper records of wrestling at the time no documentation has been found for some of the matches of the show.
Event
The first of the Anniversary shows featured at least four matches including the main event match which was the debut of Blue Demon in EMLL, losing to Ciclón Veloz by disqualification when Blue Demon's rudo tactics were noticed by the referee. Records indicated that there were two preliminary matches on the September 24th show, but records of neither the participants nor the actual results of these matches have been confirmed.[1][5][6][7] The third match of the night featured Rito Romero wrestling against Black Shadow, but no record of who won is found.[1][5][6][7] Likewise the results of the fourth match between Gory Guerrero and Bobby Bonales are also undocumented.[1][5][6][7] In the main event NWA World Middleweight Champion Tarzán López successfully defended the championship against the challenger Harry Fields in a Best two-out-of three falls match.[1][5][6][7][8]
