Lucha Libre Tour

OVERVIEW

Watch a highly entertaining Lucha Libre wrestling show much like the flamboyant performances of the mid-20th century, the heyday of this classic Mexican sport. To prepare for the fun that follows, you can take advantage of the open margarita bar on arrival there and snacks at the venue. You can expect the performance that follows to be wild and woolly. Lucha Libre means “free fight,” although there are some rules to keep the fast-moving action from getting out of hand. Most luchadores wear colorful masks – even in public when not wrestling – that conjure up images of ancient Aztec warriors and spiritual figures. A wrestler that removes an opponent’s mask in the ring is instantly disqualified. The luchadores will execute high-flying aerial maneuvers throughout the show, moves similar to those in mixed martial arts. It will be easy to get caught up in the action, so feel free to cheer loud and long.
