LUCHA STUFF
RIGHT!!!!!
now just a few more thiings about LUCHA..for ya to chew over
 SPECIALTY MATCHES
Since Lucha comprises of mostly LOS TRIOS matches, a singles match is rare, usually they have them for title shots only, this comes from a series of tags where the two participants couldnt, seem to be friends.....shall we say..HEHEH
but sometimes there is honour at stake......these take the form of...
MASK vs MASK
HAIR vs MASK
HAIR vs HAIR
matches and are usually the last step in a big fued angle....and they nearly always "pop" the crowd.
WEIGHT DIVISIONS
much the same as boxing, Lucha has different weight classes
LIGHTWEIGHTS
(30 lbs lighter than Rey Misterio?)
WELTERWEIGHTS
MIDDLEWEIGHT
LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT
and
HEAVYWEIGHT
THE MARVELOUS MINI'S
or as we people know 'em the midgets, BUT, these blokes aint no comedy relief, contrary to what the WWF thinks...these guys do exactly the same moves as the larger blokes.
they are costumed much like there larger counterparts, ie:
MASCARA SAGRADA(big guy)
MASCSARITA SAGRADA(mini counterpart)
other famous mini's are PIRATITA MORGAN and JERRITO ESTRADA
soon as i can get some pics i'll whack 'em on .
PROMOTIONS
 there is or was 4 promotions in Mexico
