Lucha Madness on Cinco De Mayo
Luchadores Greet the Crowd
Part professional wrestling, part comic book, part burlesque show, lucha libre ("free wrestling") is a time-honored Mexican tradition dating back to the early 1900s. To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, luchadores performed at the Lucha Vavoom Cinco de Mayan! show at the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles, Calif. Wednesday evening. Here are some of the ridiculous, astounding shots from the show.
