Since some months ago I've been more involve inside the world of Lucha Libre (Mexican wrestling). I loved watching it via T.V. when I was a kid, and I have memories of going to live matches with my father. And this type of memory is shared by many other Mexicans. For many Mexicans, Lucha Libre is considered a national sport because it involves a lot of physical preparation, emotions and the use of cultural references that are very unique of the Mexican lifestyle. Each match involves the fight between "técnicos" vs "rudos" (heroes vs villains). This serie is a tribute to this wonderful sport.
