Lucha Libre!!!!

Went to see Mexican wrestling (Lucha Libre) last night - it was SO MUCH FUN!! Large men in skin-tight lycra and sparkly masks might not be everyone's idea of fun, but it certainly entertained me! For large men, they are amazingly agile.

Was slightly concerned by the etiquette of using midgets as mascots, but Sal & Nat will be pleased to know that one of the wrestlers went one better by using a primordial dwarf!

I got my camera confiscated on the way in, so i don't have any photos of the actual event i'm afraid...you'll have to make do with the following reconstructions of events....

I seem to remember us watching the wrestling in Mexico City on TV. Didn't you say that it was one thing you wouldn't bother going to see? You'll be going to the football next!

Heehee! Was too good an opportunity to turn down- it's right around the corner from where i'm staying.

There were 5 or 6 matches, but there are 6 wrestlers in each (3 are good, 3 are evil)...think we were there for a couple of hours...
