The 'EMLL 36th Anniversary Show (Spanish: 36. Aniversario de EMLL)' was a professional wrestling major show event produced by Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL) that took place on August 15, 1969 in Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico. It commemorated the 36th anniversary of EMLL, which would become the oldest professional wrestling promotion in the world. It is EMLL's biggest show of the year, and the longest-running annual professional wrestling show, having started in 1934.
Records indicate two different EMLL shows held to commemorate the 36th anniversary: one on August 15 and one on September 19. Records at the time did not indicate that the August 15 show was the anniversary show,[3] while later released information on the anniversary shows lists August 15 as the date.[1] contemporary records, and some current records, indicate that the September 19 Super Viernes show in Arena México was the anniversary show.[4][2] The first anniversary show saw El Solitario defeat Rayo de Jalisco to win the NWA World Middleweight Championship, while Ray Mendoza successfully defended the NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship against Dr. Wagner. The September 19 main event had El Solitario make a successful title defense against El Santo.
