Lucha Libre is Mexican wrestling. You could compare it to the WWF, but you´d have to think WWF from 40 or 50 years ago, before it became such a big business. You´d also have to add masks to most of the wrestlers. yup.... they wear masks, tights, boots, and nothing else. It is freaking hilarious.
The "stadium" itself is about the size of a big high school gym, but with a wrestling ring in the middle and bleachers all around. We bought the expensive ringside seats that are assigned seating for $12 so we didn´t have to sit around in the gym for 3 hours before the thing started to get a good seat. The wrestling itself was just as fake as in the US with more acrobatics and a lot more fighting in the stands. I was on the aisle 8 rows back and got sweat on more than a few times because the guys were fighting literally right next to me. Oh yeah, and the fans are freaking hilarious as well. Not only do they go nuts the whole time, they essentially curse each other and the other wrestlers out the entire time.
I think pictures are really the only thing to describe this:

hey mike
tori is typing this for me because I am temporarily on the DL. I think the wrestler is prettier than you. Please refrain from ruining pictures by posing in them.
