The EMLL 52nd Anniversary Show (Spanish: 52. Aniversario de EMLL) was supposed to be a professional wrestling major show event produced by Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL, later renamed Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre, CMLL) slated to take place on September 20, 1985, in Arena México in Mexico City, Mexico. But was canceled due to the Mexico City earthquake the day before. The event was supposed to commemorate the 52nd anniversary of EMLL, the oldest still active professional wrestling promotion in the world.[2] The Anniversary show is EMLL's biggest show of the year, their Super Bowl event. The EMLL Anniversary Show series is the longest-running annual professional wrestling show, starting in 1934.

In the main event of the show both El Supremo and El Dorado were supposed to risk their masks in a Lucha de Apuestas match. Furthermore, Cachorro Mendoza was slated to defend the NWA World Middleweight Championship against El Solar and 3 Six-man "Lucha Libre rules" tag team matches were also announced.
