Production

Background

The Mexican

Mexico City, Mexico which is CMLL's main venue, its "home".[2] Traditionally CMLL holds their major events on Friday Nights, which means the Sin Piedad shows replaced their regularly scheduled Super Viernes show.[2]
The 2002 Sin Piedad show was the third show to use the name.

Storylines

The event featured six 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.

The main event and the semi-main event both stemmed from the same storyline, pitting the team of

Lucha de Apuestas or bet match challenge. Since neither held a singles championship they would both bet their hair against the outcome of the match and be shaved bald in case they lost. The Luchas de Apuestas match is the most prestigious match type in Lucha Libre, which is why it was chosen over the championship match to main event the show.[1][4] In the semi-main event Último Guerrero won the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship after forcing Shocker to submit to his own trademark submission hold La Reienera (a Modified spinning backbreaker rack).[1][4][5] In the main event Vampiro gained a measure of revenge for his tag team partner as he defeated Rey Bucanero, pinning him to win the third and deciding fall. Following the match Bucanero's long hair was cut off and then the rest of his hair was shaved off as per the Lucha Libre traditions.[1][4]

Aftermath

Sin Piedad marked the end of the storyline between Los Guerreros del Infierno and Shocker and Vampiro. Shocker moved on to create Los Guapos (The Hansome Ones) with

L.A. Park[6] Último Guerrero's reign as CMLL World Light Heavyweight Champion lasted 1,309 days, making him the longest reigning champion in the history of the title. He lost the title to Rey Bucanero on July 14, 2006.[7]

Second match worker Genético would later be given a new

Pandilla Guerrera
("Gang of Warriors") that was formed in 2005.
