Production
Background
The Fantastica Mania event series was the result of the partnership between Japanese-based New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and Mexican Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) promotions who had been exchanging talent for short or long periods of time for several years before 2011.
On May 11, 2024, NJPW had announced that they would be bringing their cross-promotional Fantastica Mania show to the United States for the first time at the Mt. Pleasant High School in San Jose, California.[1]
Storylines
The card consisted of matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by MLW, NJPW, and CMLL's writers. Storylines were played out at MLW, NJPW, and CMLL events, and across the promotions' social media platforms.[2]
