CMLL 83rd Anniversary Show

The CMLL 82nd Anniversary Show (Spanish: 82. Aniversario de CMLL) was a major professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the lucha libre wrestling company Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; Spanish for "World Wrestling Council") that took place on September 18, 2015, in CMLL's home arena Arena México in Mexico City, Mexico. The event commemorated the 82nd anniversary of the creation of CMLL, which is the oldest still-active professional wrestling promotion in the world.[2] CMLL's anniversary shows are their biggest, most important show of the year, comparable to the Super Bowl for the National Football League or WrestleMania for WWE. The CMLL Anniversary Show series is the longest-running annual professional wrestling show, starting in 1934.

In May 2015 CMLL announced that they were holding a contest for kids to write a story that included CMLL and its wrestlers in some way. As part of the announcement, they also revealed that the 2015 Anniversary show would be held on September 18, but was later changed to September 4, before going back to 18. The main event of the show saw Atlantis and La Sombra facing off in a Lucha de Apuestas, or "Bet match", with both men risking their wrestling mask on the outcome of the match.
