Background
The 1975
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 the results of two of the matches of the show.
Event
The third and final 42nd Anniversary show took place in October, one of the few anniversary shows to not take place in September. The main event was a rematch of the Second 42nd Anniversary Show as El Santo and Perro Aguayo faced off in a singles match. In the previous match Aguayo defended the NWA World Middleweight Championship, but on this night both wrestlers put something much more prestigious on the line as El Santo risked his silver wrestling mask and Aguayo risked his hair on the outcome of their Lucha de Apuesta, or "bet match". While Aguayo retained his title, he was not able to defeat El Santo when the stakes were that much higher, and instead had to be shaved bald after the match.[1][5][6][7]
