Bold broadside advertising a lucha libre match held at Arena Puebla on Lunes 9 de Enero de 1989 a las 9:00 p.m. The main event is billed as the "Grandiosa Reaparición de los Misioneros de la Muerte!!!"

The headlining trio on this 1989 card the Misioneros de la Muerte "Missionaries of Death" comprised Negro Navarro El Signo and Black Power. Formed in the late 1970s they were one of the most feared and influential rudo stables in lucha libre history known for their aggressive style technical skill and ability to generate massive heat with audiences. Their battles against trios like Los Brazos and Los Villanos helped define the trios match format that remains a staple of Mexican wrestling today. Revered for their role in elevating the art of the six-man tag the Misioneros are remembered as innovators who reshaped the dynamics of lucha storytelling and solidified the dominance of faction-based rivalries in the sport<br /> <br /> The undercard includes a series of celebrated names; "Los Juniors" Blue Demon Jr. Huracán Jr. and El Hijo de Black Shadow versus Kahos Lobo Rubio and Zandokan -- Valente Fernández La Mascara and El Fantasma versus Scorpio Sr. Scorpio Jr. and Barba Negra-- Kendo Star Lasser and Danny Boy versus Rizado Ruiz Ruddy Reyna and El Hijo del Diablo.

The poster features striking black-and-white illustrations including a masked luchador with a championship belt at upper left alongside halftone portraits of individual wrestlers giving spectators a glimpse of the billed stars. Light toning and edgewear original fold creases. Overall very good condition. A scarce surviving Arena Puebla lucha libre broadside notable for headlining the Misioneros de la Muerte and featuring early appearances of Blue Demon Jr. and other "junior" heirs of Mexico's legendary masked heroes marking a generational transition in lucha libre history. unknown
