The most entertaining show on the planet!
Published January 11, 2022
Characterized by high-flying maneuvers, nail-biting action, and some of the world’s coolest masks, Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre is truly the world’s greatest fighting spectacle! Translating to “freestyle wrestling,” lucha libre is not only Mexico’s premier form of entertainment, but the art form has also rooted itself in Mexican culture and become part of the country’s national identity!
Introduced during the early 20th century, lucha libre quickly gained popularity in Mexico due to the flamboyant personalities of the fighters and the sport’s incredibly entertaining nature. Nowadays, its influence can be felt throughout the world, with some of the biggest wrestling organizations, such as WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) and AEW (All Elite Wrestling), drawing inspiration from luchadores to shape their narratives. Wrestling fans around the world now have the unique opportunity to own one of lucha libre’s most prized possessions—a mask from some of CMLL's biggest stars!
From legendary high-flying luchador Mystico (a.k.a. Sin Cara), to current Mexican National Welterweight Champion Soberano Jr and fan-favorite Kemonito, these incredible, one-of-a-kind masks represent a unique piece of Mexican culture. In modern lucha libre, the masks are masterfully designed to depict the images of gods, ancient heroes, and other archetypes whose identities the luchadores assume during their matches. The mask represents a crucial part of a wrestler’s pride and integrity, which is why most fighters keep their identity secret even after retiring from the sport!
The proceeds from the masks will go toward supporting the honorable work of Reincerta. The charitable organization works closely with CMLL to support children and adolescents who have been exposed to traumatic situations; the charity seeks to rebuild the social fabric in Mexico and aid in the reintegration of affected individuals. Join the fight against cruelty and injustice by bringing home one of these stunning masks!
