Homenaje a Dos Leyendas 1998 Homenaje a Salvador Lutteroth 1998 ( Spanish for " Homage to Salvador Lutteroth " ) was a professional wrestling major show event produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre ( CMLL ) , which took place on March 20 , 1998 in Arena México , Mexico City , Mexico . The event was to honor and remember CMLL founder Salvador Lutteroth who died in March 1987 . The annual March event would later be renamed Homenaje a Dos Leyendas as CMLL honored both Lutteroth and another retired or deceased wrestler . The main event was a singles match between Emilio Charles , Jr . defeated El Satánico under " Luchas de Apuesta " , or " Bet match " rules . The rule meant that the losing wrestler would have all his hair shaved off after the match in full view of the crowd as per Lucha Libre traditions . The show also hosted a " Torneo Salvador Lutteroth " in honor of the CMLL founder , which was a one night eight - man single elimination tournament featuring some of CMLL ' s top competitors at the time , including the then reigning CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Universo 2000 . The show also featured an additional Six - man " Lucha Libre rules " tag team match for a total of nine matches . Background . The event featured nine professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre - existing scripted feuds or storylines . Wrestlers portray either villains ( referred to as " Rudos " in Mexico ) or fan favorites ( " Técnicos " in Mexico ) as they compete in wrestling matches with pre - determined outcomes . In early 1998 Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre ( CMLL ) announced that they were planning on holding a one night , single elimination tournament on a special show on March 20 , 1999 dedicated to the memory of Salvador Lutteroth , the founder of CMLL . The tournament gathered eight of the top competitors in the promotion at the time including the then reigning CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Universo 2000 as well as Atlantis , Black Warrior , El Felino , Karloff Lagarde , Jr . , Mr . Niebla , Shocker and Último Dragón . The main event was the planned culmination of a storyline feud between wrestlers Emilio Charles , Jr . defeated El Satánico , who up until a point had teamed on a regular basis including a stint holding the CMLL World Trios Championship ( along with Rey Bucanero ) . Following their championship loss the two had a falling out that led to the two of them fighting each other over the proceeding months in a variety of matches as the storyline hatred between the two escalated to the point where both men agreed to bet their hair on the outcome of their " Homenaje a Salvador Lutteroth " match . Event . In the opening match the " rudo " team of Gran Markus , Jr . and " Los Hermanos Dinamita " ( " The Dynamite Brothers " ; Cien Caras and Máscara Año 2000 ) defeated the tecnico team of veterans Brazo de Plata and Rayo de Jalisco , Jr . teaming up with relative newcomer Tigre Blanco . This was one of the first matches he worked under the ring name Tigre Blanco , having changed identities only a few months prior from Kid Guzmán . The tournament started off with the " rudo " Black Warrior defeateding El Felino followed by Japanese wrestler Último Dragón defeateding the second generation wrestler Karloff Lagarde Jr . In the third match of the opening round Mr . Niebla defeated the then reigning CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Universo 2000 in a bit of a surprise and finally Atlantis defeated Shocker . In the second round Black Warrior eliminated Último Dragón , having to resort to cheating to defeated him and Mr . Niebla built on his momentum by defeateding Atlantis . In the last round the Mr . Niebla defeated Black Warrior to win the entire tournament . The victory was quickly overshadowed by the actions that took place after the match was over . Universo 2000 ran to the ring and attacked both Mr . Niebla as well as Rayo de Jalisco , Sr . who was in the ring to present the trophy to Mr . Niebla . Moments later Rayo de Jalisco , Jr . came to the ring to help his father , but was attacked by Steel , making a surprise appearance and then attacked Rayo , Jr . He would pull Rayo , Jr . ' s mask off , hang it on the ring post and then light the mask on fire in one of the ultimate signs of disrespect in Lucha Libre . In the main event Emilio Charles , Jr . lost the first fall to El Satánico , but fought back to claim both the second and third fall for himself and celebrated as Satánico had all his hair shaved off afterwards . Aftermath . The storyline between Emilio Charles , Jr . and El Satánico ended with their " Luchas de Apuestas " match . Satánico would go on to recreate " Los Infernales " and focus on tag team and trios work while Emilio Charles , Jr . moved on to other storylines . The " Torneo Salvador Lutteroth " tournament win was quickly overshadowed by the subsequent angle that involved Rayo de Jalisco , Jr . which lead to Rayo de Jalisoco , Jr . defeateding Universo 2000 to win the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship on September 18 , 1998 . Mr . Niebla would not win the heavyweight title until 2003 . CMLL held another " Torneo Salvador Lutteroth " the following year as part of their annual " " event , this time it was a tag team tournament instead of a singles tournament .
