Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | In lucha libre, the Mexican sport of pro wrestling, it is far more common to see wrestlers wearing a mask and never revealing their true identities to the public, much like real-life superheroes and villains than in the American version of the sport. Bear in mind that many Mexican pro wrestlers don't ever wear a mask at all. To be unmasked by a rival wrestler, or indeed anyone at all, is usually an irredeemable dishonor to the athletes, but there have been cases where they continue to fight even after having been beaten in this way. The stock characterization for a luchador is a kindly Gentle Giant who loves kids, which is probably based on the story of Fray Tormenta (Friar Storm), a Catholic priest who started wrestling to earn money for the orphanage he worked at (see Nacho Libre for a more honest homage). Pretty much the only time a villainous or evil luchador appears in a series is when it's about wrestling to begin with. |
