Mexico is home to a wonderful phenomenon known as lucha libre. Upon first seeing the above photos, you may think that lucha libre is similar to the WWF.
It is not.
Lucha libre contains many unique elements.
1) The battle between good and evil.
2) Intense face masks.
3) Extremely unconvincing choreography.
4) A lot of slapping. Yes, slapping. Between flipping and throwing each other, these manly men spend a lot of time slapping each other. And it's loud, so it must really hurt.
5) Good old fashioned cheering on the part of the crowd, including chants of "Ole, ole ole ole... ole, ole!" ...and other chants too inappropriate for this blog.
