Arena México
I read lucha libre as sport, not spectacle. The luchadores are real athletes — the aerial work, the timing, the conditioning. My night out: watching bodies do what mine cant.
The cathedral of lucha libre — I go as an athlete watching athletes: acrobats in masks throwing themselves off the ropes, real power and control on display.
