Homenaje a Dos Leyendas 2014 (Spanish for "Homage to Two Legends") was a professional wrestling major event produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and part of their annual Homenaje a Dos Leyendas event series that started in 1996. The 2014 event was the 19th event in the series and took place on March 21, 2014, in Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico, making it the first major CMLL event of 2014. The event paid tribute to CMLL founder Salvador Lutteroth, who is always honored at Dos Leyendas, and for 2014 also paid tribute to luchador Carmelo Reyes González, better known under the ring name Cien Caras. The main event was a Lucha de Apuestas hair vs. hair match between long time rivals Rush and Shocker. The show featured an additional Lucha de Apuestas match on the undercard between female wrestlers Marcela and Dalys. The show also hosted the finals of the 2014 Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles tournament and three additional matches.
Production
Background
Since 1996 the Mexican wrestling company Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (Spanish for "World Wrestling Council"; CMLL) has held a show in March each year to commemorate the passing of CMLL founder Salvador Lutteroth who died in March 1987.[2] For the first three years the show paid homage to Lutteroth himself, from 1999 through 2004 the show paid homage to Lutteroth and El Santo, Mexico's most famous wrestler ever[3] and from 2005 forward the show has paid homage to Lutteroth and a different leyenda ("Legend") each year, celebrating the career and accomplishments of past CMLL stars. Originally billed as Homenaje a Salvador Lutteroth, it has been held under the Homenaje a Dos Leyendas ("Homage to two legends") since 1999 and is the only show outside of CMLL's Anniversary shows that CMLL has presented every year since its inception. All Homenaje a Dos Leyendas shows have been held in Arena México in Mexico City, Mexico which is CMLL's main venue, its "home".[4] Traditionally CMLL holds their major events on Friday Nights, which means the Homenaje a Dos Leyendas shows replace their regularly scheduled Super Viernes show.[4] The 2014 show was the 19th overall Homenaje a Dos Leyendas show.

The event featured six professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
