This was quite the contested 'lucha.'

I actually do lucha journalism for a living, I'll give reddit the run down of this fight.

Mil Mascaras Jr. (Roughly translates to 'The man of a thousand masks') fights 'el rudo' (the antagonist luchador) La Parka Jr. for the light heavyweight championship of the world and a lifetime supply of Corona beer.

It was a rough match with great pacing and lovely acrobatic moves from Mil Mascaras Jr. as shown in the gif. He ended up winning with a 'plancha' (frog splash) finishing move.

Using this information I tried to find a video but was unable to. Sad :(

[–]enzobelmont 2 points3 points ago

i will leave this(1) here(2) sir...

BTW is the same guy ("mascarita dorada" little golden mask)

[–]NeedsAGoodUsername 0 points1 point ago

Awesome! Those were fun to watch.

Also, I accidentally opened both links at the same time and could not tell that the announcers were not commenting on the same match video.

I was convinced this was Damien 666. I could be wrong of course, you seem to know what you are on about!

[–]KuramaSutra 0 points1 point ago

You're probably right, I was just messing with you guys on what little I picked up about lucha libre growing up.

:p

Going to Mexico City this summer for a few days. Would you recommend that we go on a 'lucha libre tour' which is $310 pesos for a minibus to take us from our hostel to a lucha libre arena and watch a match?

Not sure if wrestling, or just latin dancing.

[–]blackfuse 0 points1 point ago

I would consider this gymnastics, not saying its not cool, just not wrestling.

When you are a man, sometimes you wear stretchy pants.

Reminds me of the White Ranger, which makes it that much more badass.
