Homenaje a Dos Leyendas: El Santo y Salvador Lutteroth (1999) (Spanish for "Homage to Two Legends: El Santo and Salvador Lutteroth") was a professional wrestling supercard show event, scripted and produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; "World Wrestling Council"). The Dos Leyendas show took place on March 19, 1999 in CMLL's main venue, Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico. The event was to honor and remember CMLL founder Salvador Lutteroth, who died in March 1987. This was the first major March show under the Homenaje a Dos Leyendas name, having previously been known as Homenaje a Salvador Lutteroth. Starting in 1999 CMLL honored not just their founder, but also El Santo, the most famous Mexican professional wrestler ever.^[2] The name of the annual March event would later be shortened to just Homenaje a Dos Leyendas after CMLL had a falling out with El Santo's son El Hijo del Santo, with the event honoring a different wrestler along with Lutteroth.

The main event was a tag team match between the team of Hijo del Santo and Negro Casas and the team of Bestia Salvaje and Scorpio Jr. under Lucha de Apuestas ("Bet Match") rules. As a result of their loss, Scorpio Jr. was forced to unmask and Bestia Salvaje had all his hair shaved off after the match. The show also hosted the Torneo Salvador Lutteroth Tag Team tournament, honoring the founder of CMLL Salvador Lutteroth. The one night tournament included eight teams in total, and ended with Ringo Mendoza and Super Astro defeating Mr. Niebla and Shocker to win the entire tournament. The card also featured a non-tournament tag team match, a one on one match and a three vs. four handicap match.
