The show was the first time that FCP and The Crash held a joint show. The show also featured wrestlers from Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) as part of a The Crash/CMLL working arrangement at the time.

The semi-main event featured two teams of brothers as CMLL representatives Nueva Generación Dinamita ("New Generation Dynamites"l El Cuatrero and Sansón) defeated Las Traumas (Trauma I and Trauma II) by disqualification when El Cuatrero threw his mask to Los Traumas, making it seem like they had unmasked El Cuatrero.
