Lucha Libre
Masked grappling spectacle
Lucha libre is Mexican professional wrestling, distinguished by colorful masks, high-flying acrobatic moves, and theatrical characters.
The masks carry deep significance—losing one in a match is a profound dishonor.
Wrestlers are called luchadores.
The term is Spanish for "free fighting" or "free wrestling." The luchador's mask was passed down from his father.
