Production
Background
The 1938
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 two of the matches are documented.[2][7] The 5th Anniversary show was the first to be held on a Friday, starting a tradition of most major EMLL/CMLL shows taking place on Fridays.[1][2][3][7][4][8] On the undercard Bulgarian wrestler Pete Pancoff defeated Jack O'Brien in a Super Libre match, a match with no rules.[1][2][3][7] In the main event reigning Mexico National Welterweight Champion Tarzán López defeated Don Hill in a non-title match.[1][2][3][7]
