Homenaje a Dos Leyendas

Homenaje a Dos Leyendas (Spanish for "Homage to Two Legends") is the collective name of a series of annual lucha libre, or professional wrestling major show promoted by Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). The show started out as Homenaje a Salvador Lutteroth, honoring CMLL founder Salvador Lutteroth, it would later honor Lutteroth and El Santo until 2005 where the event would honor Lutteroth and a different retired or deceased luchador each year. CMLL has held a total of 22 Homenaje events, starting in 1996 and one each year since then. The shows are usually main evented by a Lucha de Apuestas or "Bet match" where competitors wager either their wrestling mask or hair on the outcome of the match.

CMLL has paid homage to its founder Salvador Lutteroth since Lutteroth's death in 1987 but it was not until 1995 that they held a specific event in his honor. On March 24, 1995, during their regular Friday night CMLL Super Viernes show they held a one night Trios tournament called the Salvador Lutteroth Trios Tournament. The following year CMLL decided to hold a special major event in March to commemorate Lutteroth, creating a show called Homenaje a Salvador Lutteroth ("Homage to Salvador Lutteroth"). in 1995, 1996 and 1999 the event hosted a one-night tournament in Lutteroth's name. The Lutteroth memorial tournament concept has not been used since then. In 1999 CMLL decided to also honor Mexico's most famous wrestler El Santo at the same event, changing the name of the event to Homenaje a Dos Leyendas: El Santo y Salvador Lutteroth ("Homage to Two Legends: El Santo and Salvador Lutteroth"). After a dispute with El Santo's son El Hijo del Santo in late 2004/early 2005 CMLL decided to change the show name to simply Homenaje a Dos Leyendas and honor Lutteroth and a different "lucha libre legend" each year. The 2005 event honored Perro Aguayo, who returned to the wrestling ring for one last match on that night, teaming up with his son Perro Aguayo Jr.. CMLL has on occasion promoted the March event under a different name as well as the Homenaje name, in 2000 and in 2001 they also billed their March shows as Juicio Final ("Final Justice") and in 2002 it was also billed as Apocalipsis ("Apocalypse").
