so much fun! it was super packed and really cheesy and just like a baseball game in the states but hilarious and entertaining the entire time as opposed to only some of the time.

all i could think throughout the four bouts was that if i had been a little kid growing up in mexico, this would have been my most favorite thing in the whole world. it was goofy and awesome and surprisingly acrobatic.

i loved seeing all the little kids with their masks on (they sold lucha masks like candy at this venue) and when i later asked christian if he went to watch the luchas when he was a little kid he gave me the equivalent of "duh!" in spanish. i wouldn't have expected anything different.
