The EMLL 6th Anniversary Show (
Production
Background
The 1939
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 one of the matches are documented.[2][7] The reigning Mexican National Welterweight Champion Tarzán López vacated the championship in 1939 for unknown reasons, which necessitated a tournament to crown a new champion.[8] The final took place on the 6th Anniversary Show and saw Bobby Arreola defeat Ciclón Veloz to become the new champion.[1][2][3][7]
