Background
The 1972
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 second of the 39th EMLL anniversary shows featured an unknown number of matches, traditionally EMLL has five to six matches per show, but at times have had more or less and the total number has not been verified. In one of the known matches Huracán Ramírez unsuccessfully challenged for the NWA World Welterweight Championship held by Karloff Lagarde, but Lagarde proved to be too tough as he defeated Ramírez two falls to one to retain the title.[1][5][6][7][8] In the main event Alfonso Dantés and El Solitario face off in a singles match after having been on opposite teams in the tag team tournament final that took place at the first 39th Anniversary Show. The match between the two was for Dantés' NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship which he retained, avenging the tournament defeat at the hands of El Solitario and Ray Mendoza.[1][5][6][7][9]
Aftermath
Lagarde would hold the NWA World Welterweight Championship until July, 1971 where he lost the championship to Alberto Muñoz.[1] Alfonso Dantés retained his NWA World Light Heavyweight Title until Kim Sung Ho defeated him on June 29, 1973.[9]
