Remember the days when you imagined wrestlers with masks throwing each other on to a ringed mat? Not the kind on Pay-Per-View with smoke filled entrances, plot lines that rival the latest soap opera and names like the Undertaker and Phenom. I’m talking the kind with crazy mexicans dressed in masks and throwing each other around with the comedy of a Benny Hill episode. Well, those days are here.
Sunday saw the first time appearance of Lucha Libre Mexicana at Dick’s Sporting Good Park. After the Rapids’ game against DC United they cleared the stadium and set up the ring for some of Mexico’s finest superstar entertainment, Mexican wrestling.
The event was entertaining to say the least. They don’t take themselves too seriously like the wrestling found here in America, rather they joke, poke fun at each other while body slamming and entice the crowd to participate with the heckling and screaming. True entertainment.
I hope Lucha LIbre comes back. It was some of the best entertainment I’ve seen in Denver in a long time.
