'''When Worlds Collide''' ('''''Cuando Los Mundos Chocan''''' in [[Spanish language|Spanish]]) was a legendary [[professional wrestling]] show held on [[November 6]], [[1994]] in [[Los Angeles, California]]. It was presented by the [[Mexican]] [[lucha libre]] company [[Asistencia Asesoría y Administración]] (AAA) and promoted in conjunction with [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW). WCW Executive Vice-President [[Eric Bischoff]] had helped AAA secure a show on [[United States|American]] pay-per-view television, and AAA did not disappoint, staging a show considered by many to be one of the greatest in the history of pro wrestling. Many wrestling fans see this show as the event that first introduced the high-flying Mexican lucha libre style of pro wrestling to American audiences.

The match was built around the former partnership between not only [[Eddie Guerrero]] and [[El Hijo Del Santo]], but also around the former partnership of their fathers ([[Gory Guerrero]] and [[El Santo]]); Both men claimed that one carried the other throughout the partnership, as well as claiming that their father carried the other's father throughout the partnership.
