Lucha Libre Wrestling 2023-2024 in Mexico
Masked fighters seem to beat each other to death, while bloodthirsty spectators enjoy the action with a pint of beer
Dates: all year round
Also known as Mexican masked wrestling, Lucha Libre is a well-rehearsed performance. The fighters hit and kick each other in such a realistic way, that one can hardly believe it’s actually fake. If you’re that bloodthirsty that you don’t mind a kick or two in front of your face, then the best seats for you are next to the ring. Alcohol is welcomed, so consider taking a pint of beer to merge with the audience.
