I have been wanting to go to a real ¡Lucha Libre! match since I was introduced to the movies of Santo back in the late 90’s/early 2000’s. It also happens to be an activity in our cultural passport, and it turns out that I’m living about a 10 minute walk from the arena. There are matches every Tuesday apparently. It was just too easy, even though the 75 peso entrance ticket is more than our daily budget.
I didn’t even stay for the last 2 matches, but there might be a next time. I really want to see that midget in the parrot costume. I will probably even pay for the upgrade to the floor seats for better photos next time.
