Lucha Libre!

Despite the huge amount of pending homework, projects and readings, we decided to go and take a look at the famous Mexican wrestling that everyone has been talking about - LUCHA LIBRE!! Those who has watched Nacho Libre will know what i meant.. haha.. and we got to watch it live this time! I never like wrestling because i couldn't understand why people would see in front of the tv to watch 2 or more ugly and muscular (sometimes fat i think) guys fighting one another. In fact, i never understood why there was such a show in the 1st place. But now i know. People pay to watch WWF for its entertainment value. Here i am, watching it live and i have to say that it is really an interesting experience that i will never forget! Another thing that amaze me is the fact that this is a family activity. There were kids who look as young as 3-5 years old watching it. Also, i heard from Arturo that on some days, the women fight too.. haha..

They already started when we went in. We bought the most expensive ticket which is 100 pesos (13 SGD) so that we could get the front seats. It was worth all our money when u get to see them fighting right in front of you. Slamming each other with boards and rubbish bins, jumping off the stage onto the other guy, spitting at each other and once in a while, flying towards the audience. It was kinda hilarious to see everyone running off from their seats and yet frantically trying to get a good picture of them flying towards the audience.

One thing i find amusing about them was how fake some of them looked when they were hitting one another. Like the way they shake their hands and legs to portray the pain when the opponent was on top of them and they couldn't move. I couldn't stop laughing.. haha.. But some were really good and i just stared at them in awe. But there were some,

Emo Lucha Libre.

I don't know what he is. Batman? Haha.. but he was really happy to pose for a picture for our camera.

Skeleton man!!

This match needs parental guidance cos there was this guy who was a gay wearing pink outfit and a flowery scarf. I think he's just portraying himself as a gay for entertainment sake but who knows, i might be wrong.. haha.. But he was touching the privates of his opponents all the time during the match. He kept kissing them too. Needless to say, u should know who won this match. Haha..

They fell from the stage. Two obese man flying from the stage, imagine the impact. Haha..

Ultraman assault!

Slamming the guy with a board

And then a rubbish bin

But he eventually won!

The audience went crazy when the whole thing ended. All of us started climbing up onto the stage to "fight" and take photos. So of cos, Nyan was one of them. Looks like he can be a wrestler too! Haha..

Poor Siv..

Mask for remembrance sake! 80 pesos each!
