The EMLL 2nd Anniversary Show (
Production
Background
The 1935
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.[6] 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
Records of most of the early anniversary shows are not found, only four of the matches are documented.[2][7] The overall theme for the show was "Mexico Vs Foreigners" as promoter Salvador Lutteroth started to use more and more Mexican born workers in the top matches on his show, which was part of why he became successful early on.[4][8]
In the first documented match of the show Mexican Manuel "Toro" Hernandez defeated Buddy O'Brien.[1][2][3][7] American representative Jack Howland defeated EMLL's own Firpo Segura.[1][2][3][7] Russian Erick Bouloff wrestled and defeated Mexico born Bobby Segura, brother of Firpo Segura on the show.[1][2][3][7] In the main event Luis Mayo defeated Gruber Sanson, sending the crowd home happy with a victory for the Mexicans.[1][2][3][7]
