Almost a religion in Mexico rivaling soccer in attendance, Lucha Libre boasts a 75-year history of colorful, fun-for-the-whole family entertainment. The tradition of wearing masks harkens back to the Aztecs and the designs are meant to evoke the power of animals, gods and other ancient heroes. The wrestler takes on that identity and the mask is so sacred that to wager and lose one’s mask in a battle is considered a disgrace.

The company encourages fans to attend live events dressed up as their favorite Luchastar, awarding prizes to the best-dressed, loudest fan taking advantage of the excitement of the younger generation.
