MEXICAN STYLE WRESTLING Origins

DAVE KNOWS that LUCHA LIBRE is one of the best styles of Wrestling there is. The Wrestlers of Mexico are proving all the time that there is so much more than the WWE Style. Lucha Libre is a culture all of its own and rightfully so. However, if you've ever been curious about the how Wrestling in Mexico started, where Lucha Libre originally came from and who do we have to thank for Mexican Style Wrestling, well look no further.

If I remember correctly, in the documentary Lucha Mexico, they mentioned that when the 1985 earthquake hit Mexico City, Arena Mexico was left undamaged. They cancelled the shows for the rest of the week and used the building as an aid station.

@daveknowswrestling dude the influence lucha libre has had…el gran apache in my opinion is the true father or strong style… he trained a lot of Japanese wrestlers(tajiri)… on top of that gory being part of one of the most famous tag teams… la pareja atómica gory guerrero and el santo… knowing that Eddie came from such a pedigree… the backbone of wcw was the cruiserweights incorporated by mostly Mexicans… on top of that the best would go train and learn in Mexico… Chris Jericho had his time in the arena Mexico… the lion sault was established there being his ring name was corazón de Leon…. Lita trained there( who are you to doubt el Dandy) also Vince had el hijo del santo and negro casas on his payroll… imagine…. When santos Escobar had his moment with el fantasma his father being the main authority in wrestling in Mexico…. On top of the induction of mil mascaras… allowing him to tell his story of being a main attraction at Madison square garden… Canek was the hulk hogan of Mexico he actually body slammed Andre the giant lol….
