The show was produced with the tag line, Homenaje a Dos Leyendas: El Santo y Salvador Lutteroth (Spanish for "Homage to Two Legends: El Santo and Salvador Lutteroth") to honor and remember CMLL founder Salvador Lutteroth and El Santo, the most famous Mexican wrestler ever.[2] The show featured six matches in total with the main event of the show being a Lucha de Apuesta, mask vs. mask match between Villano III and Atlantis in a match that has been called "The biggest Apuesta match of the decade".[3] The match was voted the 2000 Match of the Year in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards.[3] The show featured four additional matches, including two Six-man "Lucha Libre rules" tag team matches, a singles match and a 16-man Torneo Cibernetico elimination match.
