2) Antonio Rubio b Jesus Castillo
10 minutes.
3) Chino Achui b Ciclón Mckey
Chino took 1/3. Ciclon McKey would later be the first masked wrestler as Maravilla Enmascarada.
4) Yaqui Joe b Bobby Sampson
Yaqui Joe, from Sonora, was billed as light middleweight world champion, took 2/3. Sampson is spelled Samson in some sources.
Event Notes: First ever EMLL show. Gate of 900 pesos, on tickets of 3.50, 1.50, and 1.00. Show started at 8:15. Rent was 50 pesos a month. Salvador Luttertoh would take eight pesos (three singles and a five) out of this gate to hang in his office as a moment. Arena Modelo would later be called the first/old Arena Mexico. Jesus Lomeli referee in the top two matches, Professor Avendano (initial lucha libre trainer) in the opener. Box y Lucha (which didn't exist back then) seems to draw on a report from La Aficion.
