lucha libre.


So just as Monday nights in the states are for WWF, Monday nights in Mexico are for lucha libre. Lucha libre is a big tradition down here. Think macho boxers mixed with acrobatic moves mixed with Halloween costumes. That's a lucha libre fight. I was feeling venturesome enough to attend such an event with some friends last night.

We bought our tickets for less than 5 bucks each. With these we entered and became part of the cheering audience. We got into it real quick. Each boxer has his own unique outfit, complete with a mask. My personal favorite was a stout muscular man who decided to channel his inner cupid and wear a one-shouldered minidress to pair with his pink mohawk. haha. While he didn't win, he definitely added to the experience!
