Background
Each of the events featured six
professional wrestling matches , some with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing
scripted feuds or
storylines while other matches were the first time some wrestlers faced off. The Fantastica Mania events was the result of several years of co-operation between
New Japan Pro-Wrestling and
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre , which had seen both companies exchange wrestlers for various events.
