It probably means something bad, Chaco. We might 9 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: just look that up. It might mean nothing at all. 10 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: I just said instead of Chucko, I said Chaco. I like, well, 11 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: it's the kind of um like crunchy sandals. Chaco. There's 12 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: a canyon all right, Yeah, you're you're the canyon. Yeah. 13 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: From that the Anasaza used to inhabit.

I did in my head until 16 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: I looked up the lucha Lucha libreva boom. Yes, yeah, 17 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 1: the sexiest of all wrestling matches. I just went over 18 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: how to video. All right, what's your intro? Well, this 19 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: is pretty much it this long, meandering, terrible thing. Ah. 20 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: While we're talking about Chuck Mexican Wrestling also known as 21 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: Lucha Libre, file this under fun. Yeah, this is pretty cool. Um, 22 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: we're going to go ahead right now and promise a 23 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: larger pro wrestling UM podcast. I think I think we 24 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: should do it because there's a documentary out now, UM 25 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: that I want to see called Memphis Heat, and it's 26 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: about Memphis wrestling Jerry Lawler came from and Coffin was 27 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: involved in, like like what basically gave birth to w 28 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: WF what I consider the heyday. Sure, and Luca Libre 29 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: is very reminiscent to me of the older days of 30 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: American wrestling, which I'm not into anymore. It doesn't good kid, 31 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: I was, Oh, yeah, man, he saw Jim tugging um 32 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: Hulk Andre the Giant w W Y there's a cartoon 33 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 1: run there. Didn't they have a cartoon? I'm pretty sure 34 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: they did. If they haven't, then their way overdue. Yeah. 35 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: Have you ever heard Jason Segels Andre the Giant? But 36 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: it's amazing. He does something with his throat and it's uh. 37 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: He did it in that one movie with Paul Rudd 38 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: that was actually pretty good. And then he did it 39 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: on Saturday Night Live recently in a skit called Andre 40 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: the Giant orders ice cream and he goes into an 41 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: ice cream shop. It just yeah, it's really I will 42 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: definitely check it out. But we're talking about Mexican wrestling today. 43 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: We're talking about Mexican wrestling, um. And to talk about 44 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: Mexican wrestling, unfortunately, UM, you have to go back to 45 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: the beginning of wrestling, which originated in America. Yeah, that's 46 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: kind of wrestling. Sure, yeah, yeah, we're not talking like 47 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: Greco Roman or anything like that. But professional wrestling started 48 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: in the late nineteenth century in America. UM, and it 49 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: had a little bit of a boom. It was very serious, 50 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: it was very legitimate, and then people got bored with it. YEP. 51 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: So in the nineteen twenties, these guys, these three professional 52 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: wrestlers called the gold Dust Trio. Yeah, they because everything 53 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: they touched her into gold. And they were like expert promoters. 54 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: They were like, you know what, I think we should 55 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: stop taking ourselves to seriously, let's just start making things up. 56 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: And everybody said what and they're like yeah, yeah, we're 57 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: like we do this in carnivals. Rights Entertainment and everybody said, well, yeah, 58 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: this is a carnival act. They said, well, we know 59 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: about KFABE and cafebe is basically like keeping up the 60 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: suspension of disbelief. It's made up stuff carried out as 61 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: if it were real. That's the whole premise behind professional wrestling, 62 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: which I'm sorry to break in eleven year old heart. 63 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: Right now, professional wrestling is fake. The athleticism isn't fake. 64 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: But if somebody like is you know, really the the 65 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: guy outside of the ring is not really sleeping with 66 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: the other guy's wife and that's not why they're fighting, 67 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: right then, right? Okay, so, um, the storylines are manufactured 68 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: for entertainment purposes. But they're all amazing athletes and they 69 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: all do really get hurt and inflict pain many times. Yeah, 70 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: I mean it's real blood. Um. Okay, well in a 71 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: lot of cases. In some cases. Uh so this isies 72 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: when pro wrestling, as we understand it, with the Cafe 73 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: Abe started, within ten years we had luch libre Mexican wrestling. Yeah, 74 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: thanks to a guy named Don Salvador Lutos Gonzales. That's right, 75 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: he is the father of the Lucha libre and he 76 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: started the first Mexican Wrestling league called the Impresi, Makana, 77 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: the Lucha Libre and thank you, and it originally came 78 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: from Spain from what I understand too, and they called 79 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: it catches, catch can and then just catch. But then 80 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: during the Spanish Civil War, I think people, uh, the 81 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: Spanish went back to Spain and it sort of just 82 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: the wrestlers migrated over to Mexico. Is that it worked. Yes, 83 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: the Spanish Civil War shut everything down. Let's shut the 84 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: league's downy Um. What was that movie where that It 85 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: was about the little boy and it's set during the 86 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: Spanish Civil War in the orphanage. Uh that was what's 87 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: his face? The Gilmo del Toro. What was the name 88 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: of that movie. It was good, It was very creepy. 89 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: So see that movie, look it up. So yeah, so um, 90 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: Don Gonzalez said, okay, well, let's just take it back 91 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: to Mexico. And that's where Mexican wrestling came from. That's 92 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: why it's seated in Mexico. Um. The earliest Mexican wrestlers 93 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: used to go back and forth between Mexico and Spain 94 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: until the Spanish Civil War. And they said Spain is 95 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: a little crazy, right, now we're going to stick to Mexico. 96 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: And not only that, we've got a steady supply of 97 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: professional wrestlers from America. They're gonna make up some of 98 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: the earliest Lucca doors. Yeah. He was inspired by Texas wrestling, right, 99 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: which that was pretty awesome in the nineteen thirties. Yes, 100 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: well I think it was, if not based in Texas, 101 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: there were carnivals that were being held that came through 102 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: Texas to saw Um and so he gave birth to 103 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: what was it called the Impressive Mexicana de Lucha Libre. Yeah, 104 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: the E M L L which is now yes, and 105 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: this is like the the w W E of Mexican wrestling. 106 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: It's like the big one Concerjo de Luca Libre. Why 107 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: do you crack up every day you do? It's so internest. 108 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: Well I'll try to, you know, be authentica. UM so 109 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: chuck wish. Since since you are so into the Spanish 110 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: um pronunciation, can you translate lucha libre for the listeners? Yes, Uh, 111 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: free fighting or free wrestling is what it's called, or 112 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: translated as and M. One of the reasons why is 113 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: because you know, sort of Lucy goosey. It wasn't like 114 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: it's entertainment and not sport. So you want to talk 115 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: about the entertainment, let's talk about lucha libre as a whole, 116 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: like on a very broad scale. Okay, the luchador is 117 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: the name of the wrestler. Lucha libre is the wrestling 118 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: and they one one of the biggest things that distinguishes 119 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: them from their American counter parts is the mask. The 120 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: mask is huge, and while not all of them wear masks, 121 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: most of them start out wearing masks. Very important to 122 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: the culture. It is of their wrestling. Um. And it's 123 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: a really really big deal to not wear the mask. Like, 124 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: you can't just go up and unmasked a Mexican wrestler. No, no, no, 125 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: they'll kill you on the spot. Um. This whole kind 126 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: of persona of the luchador goes outside of the ring too, 127 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: And so you may be in your local grocery store 128 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: and if a luchador lives nearby, he will probably be 129 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: grocery shopping wearing his mask. Yeah. They carry that identity. 130 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: Uh A lot of times they will pass it down 131 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: to their their sons and carry on the family tradition 132 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: of of the luchador. Very important to the culture. It's 133 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: not just some you know, redneck sport like it is 134 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: here right now. Um, not true. I'm sorry. Did you 135 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: like how quickly I agreed? We're gonna get in trouble 136 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: for that one. We are. Um. So, Luchadors are technical 137 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: traditionally divided along two lines, the good guys and the 138 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: bad guys, or in American pro wrestling, the bad guys 139 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: are called heels. Down there, they're called rudos, rude boys, 140 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: or um just basically villains. And then the good guys, 141 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: the heroes, are called technicos and um, yeah, you've got. 142 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: The rudos are often um like that. I guess the 143 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 1: spine of lucha libre is that it's very populist. So 144 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: like a technico will be like based on a superhero, 145 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: a saint, an Aztec warrior, somebody who is all about 146 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: fighting for the common man. Yes, the farmers, the poor people. 147 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: We are the ones who will stick up for you, 148 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: right exactly. And then the rudos they're like they often 149 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: have the character of corrupt cop or official, a drug dealer, 150 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: a gangster. Yeah, which I imagine, like, especially these days, 151 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: if you are a rudeo and you're like portraying a 152 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: drug dealer, you're probably on thin ice and that might 153 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: not be the best choice these days. Um. And so 154 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: that's this battle between you know, the the little person 155 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: and then the larger authority that's trying to oppress them, 156 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: and then the little person of the person that is 157 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: fights on behalf of the little person tends to win. 158 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: That's right. Good good conquers evil exactly. Yea, unless you're 159 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 1: a good villain, because that can be played up, you know, 160 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: over the years as well. Sure, I think one of 161 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: these guys that can't remember made his career as one 162 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: of like the great villains, that was Guerrero, I think. Okay, 163 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: I believe, yes, we mentioned the masks how important they are. 164 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: The masters play such a huge part that they have 165 00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: certain matches called uh luca pistas matches with wagers. Did 166 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: you see this? They are very special match matches where 167 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: they will wager generally one of three things, either their mask, 168 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: their hair, or their career, and it can be in 169 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: any combination. It can be I bet my mask versus 170 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: your hair, my hair versus your hair, my career versus 171 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,719 Speaker 1: your mask. I just I bet my hair. But this 172 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: about it. And at the end of this match, obviously 173 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: whoever loses either is unmasked, which means they're either done 174 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: or they adopt a new persona and leave that behind. 175 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: I have heard that that's not the case. I heard 176 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: that if you lose your mask, you can't wrestle masked 177 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: any longer. You can wrestle, but you wrestle shamefully, as 178 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: Jonathan Strickling explained it to me, shamefully bare faced. Okay, well, 179 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: I've seen you can adopt a new and so I 180 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: bet you someone out there nose for sure. Yes, we'll 181 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,719 Speaker 1: find out, um. Or if you're probably nearing retirement, you 182 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: would you would bet your career. I doubt if you 183 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: would do that. It's like a twenty year old UM, 184 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: because it would make much sense. And you will literally 185 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: have to retire. At the end of the match. You 186 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: will reveal your name, your hometown, and how long you've 187 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: been wrestling traditionally after you've been unmasked or retired by defeat. 188 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: And uh that is the Lucas day a quistas, and 189 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: they don't do it very often. It's pretty heated match obviously. Yeah, 190 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: I would imagine this. There's something at Steak. It's probably 191 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: very um, very well watched too. It's also characterized more 192 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: like the lighter wrestlers are more popular, whereas in the 193 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: United States the more popular guy. I mean, they're all huge, huge, 194 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: right rif um. But yeah, Luca Doors tend to be 195 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: smaller and quicker and more agile than American wrestlers. There's 196 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: a little more high flying acrobatics that's associated with lucha libre, 197 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: and it's like very fast paced, like one move after 198 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: the other. That's right. Um. And also we I wanted 199 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: to mention rudous, like the characters are sometimes Americans and 200 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: just to get the crowd rialed up, like the American 201 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: Rudeau will, um, we'll be just as total racist and 202 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: like classist, right and um. And apparently the crowd goes 203 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: crazy for that. I'm sure against that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 204 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: that's funny. So you mentioned the main league now is 205 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: the CMLL. There's also a rival league. And I don't 206 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: keep up with American Pro wrestling anymore. They're they're still 207 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: is it two leagues? I know there's like w We 208 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: have a friend who moved to w W. Yeah, that's right. 209 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: I don't know what the rival is anymore, though w 210 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: W I think it is. I think it is I'm 211 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: pretty sure. Well, they had their International Wrestling Revolution group 212 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: and uh oh, I'm sorry. There that that that's that's 213 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: the the smaller independent leagues that are also scattered about 214 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: the country. But the main rival league is the Estencia 215 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: a Sesoria the Administration or the A. So they have 216 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: two big leagues and then some smaller independent like those 217 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: are the cool ones. I saw some videos and it 218 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: looks like the old school American Day's when they're in 219 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: front of like four thousand people in a gym, like 220 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: just flying around. They still do that in UM like 221 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: in Memphis, but it's not like four thousand people, it's 222 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: like forty yeah, at the Pyramid. And then Strickland also 223 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: told me about um No like West Memphis, Arkansas, like 224 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: in a like an basically covered alley. Gotcha, um there's 225 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: a play. There's this group called Chikara out of Philadelphia 226 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: and they've basically they do this absurdist Mexican wrestling. Strickland 227 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: told me about this um where like there's this guy 228 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: named ice Cream Jr. And his persona is like a 229 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: clown with like a little clown hat sacking out the 230 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: side of his head. His face is painted and his 231 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: secret weapon is a bag of sock filled with ice 232 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: cream sprinkles that like he'll throw it like his opponent 233 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: and it just burns him like acid. He'll he'll, you know. 234 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: There's this one great shot of it of him throwing 235 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: it on his opponent, the guy just writhing in pain, 236 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: and ice Cream Junior like put some more on the 237 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: mat and he goes to like drop the guy on it, 238 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: but the guy gets to drop on him and throws 239 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: ice Cream Junior down. He starts writhing like how my back. 240 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: It's really great. You have to see it. I'll send 241 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: it right now. Okay, Yeah, I find that remarkable. Yeah, 242 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: we should post that to our Facebook page, say we're 243 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: gonna do that. But it's um. It's it's the same thing. 244 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: It's just like in this fluorescent light gym with like 245 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: fifty or a hundred people and it's called kara. Yeah, 246 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: but that kind of combines Mexican wrestling with Japanese style 247 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: Mexican wrestling. Yeah, it's a big over there, right. It 248 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: is UM And there's been a couple of wrestlers that 249 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: have kind of taken it to the next level, Ultimo 250 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: Dragon and Tiger Mask. Tiger Mask. It's awesome. You know 251 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: what I think I have. I mean it's a tiger mask, 252 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: right yeah. Um, and these guys are like the I 253 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: guess Japanese stars of Mexican wrestling in Japan, so I 254 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: love it. You mentioned Lucha va Boom earlier. That is 255 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: a variation of Lucha Libra that's pretty popular right now 256 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: because it combines wrestling with burlesque, striped tease and stand 257 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: up comedy and not just stand up comedy, like um, 258 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: like girls spinning three hula hoops and one piece stuff 259 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: and like, um yeah, uh, just anything you can think of. Um, 260 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: that's just totally out there. And I think it's based 261 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. They should do that in the middle 262 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: of a roller derby ring. It's very I'm surprised that 263 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: they haven't. And if they haven't, and they listen to 264 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: podcast that they start doing and served tons of beer. 265 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: They they suggest to best watch it that you drink 266 00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: tequila shots. Seriously. I was watching this how to watch 267 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: um Lucha va Boom, and they were like, this is 268 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: the rudos, this is what you do for him boo, 269 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: and then this is the technic post and you cheer 270 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: for him, and then you you want to drink tequila shots, 271 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: but not so much that you throw up and get 272 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: up on the stage because that'll ruin it. Um. It's 273 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: pretty cool. But so Lucha va Boom is going to 274 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: be in Calgary, Edmonton. There is the tie that binds 275 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: this one with chem trails in case you ever come 276 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: across the questions all related um on January seven eight 277 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: at the Calgary High Performance Rodeo their headlining. If I 278 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: live in Calgary, I would go to that they should 279 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: bring this to Atlanta. Well, normally they have it in 280 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: l A at the Mayan Theater. Yeah, and Atlanta has 281 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: a you know, a large uh Latino population, so and 282 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 1: dudes like us, Yeah, that mix well with that crowd. Yes, 283 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: like like to do tequila shots, but not so much 284 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: that we throw up because that ruins it. Um. Let's 285 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: talk about the wrestling, the rastling itself. Okay, uh, they 286 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: have many more weight classes than our American uh count 287 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: their American counterparts because it was originally based on boxing classes, 288 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: which is great because, like you said, the little light 289 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: guys can fly around and jump and do these awesome 290 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: aerial moves that you don't see as much anymore in 291 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: the US. UM. And one of those weights. I was like, 292 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: you know, I'm going to take this opportunity to look 293 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: up what the heck welter weight means. So it looked 294 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: up welter and welter itself means like wallo. It has 295 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: nothing to do with anything else. But if you look 296 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: up the entomology of welter weight, they think that it's 297 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: based on uh, the English word welt, which means to 298 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: beat severely. So I was like, okay, that's what welter weight. 299 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: It's the weight class where the people beat severely one another. Yeah, 300 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: pretty cool. Hundred seventy pounds by the way for the 301 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: welter weight. Yeah, you would think the heavy weights would 302 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: be welter weight then, yeah, because they inflicked more bruises. 303 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: I guess not. I guess not so, um, Chuck. There's 304 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: different kinds of matches you can have. You have like 305 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: single matches, boring. Yeah, those are not the most popular ones. Um, 306 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 1: but we need to go over the rules. They're there 307 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: for a purpose, so we have to tell them. Um, 308 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: there's four ways to win a single match. That's to 309 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,719 Speaker 1: pin for three seconds, knock somebody out of the ring 310 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: for twenty seconds, to make your opponents submit, which you 311 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: don't tap in Mexican wrestling, you waver you say refereo 312 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: like I'm about to die here, I want to quit. 313 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: Or you can be disqualified. The other person can be disqualified. Yeah, 314 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: there's a few ways that can happen. If you take 315 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: off someone's mask, that is a disqualification unless the storyline 316 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: calls for it. Um. No weapons, so like you're not 317 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: gonna see any chair hitting going on. Okay, that's definitely different. 318 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: Uh No, groin shots. No. And you can't attack the 319 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: ref free Yeah, why would which makes sense, although you 320 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: know they do that some in American wrestling. Yeah, and 321 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 1: there's that one classic clip that was at the beginning 322 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: of Malcolm in the middle of that the referee getting 323 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: in front of a punch during that boxing manage and 324 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: just getting kote. Classic. Yeah. I'm also pile driver. You 325 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 1: you can't pile drive somebody, But like you said, like unmasking, 326 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: they'll sometimes do it anyway, even though you're gonna get disqualified. 327 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: But they customarily the person who's pile drived. Pile driven 328 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: um is carried out on the stretcher to just make 329 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: sure all the kids know, like, don't do this at home. 330 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,959 Speaker 1: It's very bad, which is pretty awesome. Yeah. Uh, they 331 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: do that in the States, like don't try this at 332 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: home unless you're really tough, Like they inject steroids in 333 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: the middle of the ring in the States. So the 334 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 1: referee can also stop the the uh the brawl for 335 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: excessio de rhodesas, which is excessive punishment or violence, which 336 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: is funny because it's saying like if you, uh excessively 337 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: beat your opponent, we're gonna go ahead and give you 338 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: the match. Oh you win? Yeah, Oh that's awesome. I 339 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: know it's like a well, it's like the referee stop 340 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: in a boxing match, I guess, or like a baseball game. 341 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: What does that rule? I don't know. There's some rule 342 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: where it's like the team's beating the other team by 343 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: like twelve points. Yeah, mercy rule. Yeah, if you're up 344 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: by like eleven after a certain ending, they'll cough it. 345 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: But it makes sense, I mean like humiliating that. It's 346 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: not like you're going to give the win to the 347 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: team that lost. Yeah, of course. Yeah, it's the same thing. 348 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 1: Although these days you never know kids this country these days, Uh, 349 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: like you said, the tag team matches are really where 350 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: it's at in Mexican wrestling, uh, and the most popular 351 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: of the tag team or the three on three the 352 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: trios matches. Um. The goal there, if you're gonna win, 353 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: is to either pin the captain or to pin both 354 00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: of the other two guys, right correct, Yeah, right though, 355 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: and uh there's two referees usually in those. And there 356 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: are also four and four five on five and you 357 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: know it's it's a lot of action going on in 358 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: the four on four those called the Atomic Coast matches, 359 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. Yeah, like that, um, and then 360 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: the five on five the whole like the only way 361 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: to win is to pin the team captain apparently. Yeah. 362 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: And another difference between that and American wrestling. When you 363 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: have a tag team in American wrestling is you have 364 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: to literally tag each other, whereas in Mexican wrestling and 365 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: lutal libre, if you're out of the ring, which either 366 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: thrown out or you can crawl out, then your other 367 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: partner can get right on in there, which really speeds 368 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: things along and keeps it exciting. Yeah, as they say. 369 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: And if you want to know if you moves or 370 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: if you'd like to hear the names and descriptions of 371 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: a few moves. We get you covered there. Basically, if 372 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: you understand what the plancha is, you understand Mexican wrestling. Okay, Basically, 373 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 1: the plancha is where your opponent is flat on his 374 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: back on the in the ring um and you're up 375 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 1: on the ropes and you jump on him with your 376 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: full body weight. Yeah. Then there's variations to the plantcha. 377 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 1: There's the tornillo, which is a plancha in which the 378 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,239 Speaker 1: wrestler who's jumping off of the ropes twists in mid 379 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: air for visual effect. Sure, there's the cent on, which 380 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: is a planta in which the diving wrestler lands on 381 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: his back on top of the other wrestler nice um. 382 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: And then that's pretty much it. I mean there's a 383 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: couple of others. You want to take this, Well, if 384 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 1: you're gonna head butt someone, they're gonna call that a 385 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: tope um. And these are just a few of the moves. 386 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: I mean, there are tons and tons of moves, and 387 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: they're done in various combinations according to your personal flare. 388 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: And they're all plant a rooted, are they No? Not 389 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: all of them. There's plenty of plant of rooted moves. 390 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: That's awesome. Cool leg twist where the guy would be 391 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: on his back and get a dude like in a 392 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: scissor hold with his legs and then do like this 393 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: little break dance spin move to flip the guy over. 394 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 1: There's there's a lot like the hurrican rana. What's up? Well, 395 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,479 Speaker 1: the rna is the position where so the wrestler holds 396 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: the opponent's shoulders down with his knees and then hooks 397 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: his legs with his arms, right yeah, and if you 398 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: start that out with um a flying head scissor, you're 399 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: doing the hurricane rana awesome as as popularized by Hurricane 400 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: ra Miras Oh that was his name. Makes sense? Yeah? Uh? 401 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: Yet another difference in Luca libre in American pro wrestling 402 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: is in American pro wrestling. Aside from like the rock 403 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: in your occasional appearance by Hulk Coogan and Rocky Three, 404 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 1: wrestlers are generally wrestlers, whereas in Mexico they are national 405 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: icons and generally they're on TV, They're in movies and 406 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: comic books. They're all over the place. And that's thanks 407 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: largely to um El Santo the King. Yeah, Santo, um, 408 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 1: that's not what it means. I'm just calling him no, 409 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: he means his name means the Saints of the Silver Mask. 410 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: Santo Ellen Mascarado del Plata. Yes, Saints of the Silver Mask. 411 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 1: So Santo um was a technico and Um he started. 412 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: He was one of the original uh luchadors. Yeah, I 413 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: was born in nineteen seventeen, started wrestling in the thirties, um, 414 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: and by the fifties he was popular enough that this 415 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: guy named Jose Cruz came along in and said, I 416 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: want to make a comic book of you, and Santo said, 417 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: all right, whatever, that's cool, and he made what became 418 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: this few medic style. Have you heard a few medic 419 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: comic books. You've seen him before. They're really unsettling and weird. 420 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: But it's um photographs collages, right, So they'll be like 421 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: a group of gangsters following Santo, and you can see 422 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: the edges of where the person cut them out and 423 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: put him together, arranged them and then drew like speech 424 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: bubbles or whatever, and so the perspective is off. The 425 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: backgrounds will be drawn, but like the characters are photographs. 426 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: If you METI, it's Italian. I saw that. I didn't 427 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: know what it was that when I googled it earlier. Yeah, 428 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: for this guy. That's what that. That's what that the 429 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: the style of comic book that two had and it 430 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: went for like thirty five years. His comic book, um, 431 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: life time went thirty five years. And he was also 432 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 1: in like fifty movies from I think the first one 433 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,479 Speaker 1: was called Evil Brain. That was his breakthrough. Was Santo 434 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: Versus the Zombies of course. Um and uh, the last 435 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: one was Fury of the Karate Experts from two. So 436 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 1: he's in fifty two movies and two of them were 437 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: cameos awesome, and he acted a lot of times alongside 438 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 1: other pro wrestlers, always masked of course. In fact, he 439 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: was never unmasked. I saw picture of him. It's kind 440 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: of disappointing. So not not disappointing the way he looked, 441 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,479 Speaker 1: but ed grabbed. The grabster says that there there are 442 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: no photographs or there was one and it was not 443 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: publicly available. Not true. Yeah, welcome to the internet, grabst exactly. Um. No, 444 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: he he was actually he unmasked himself. Yeah. Later in life, 445 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 1: he went on a show um called counter Punta, which 446 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: I think means counterpoint yeah. Um, and he unmasked himself 447 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 1: on that show and then he died a week later. 448 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,239 Speaker 1: Really yeah, but he was buried in his mask, and 449 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: so was one of his acting partners, who was himself 450 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: in twenty movies, The Blue Demon. Um. So both of 451 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: those guys were buried in their luchador masks. And seriously, 452 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: aside from him unmasking himself a week before he died, 453 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: that man spent his entire life pretty much in that mask. 454 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: People didn't know what he looked like. He was a 455 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: national hero, like, but consider that, like, he was a 456 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: wrestler and his wrestling persona made it out and out 457 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: of the ring in to real life, into the movies, 458 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: into comic books, and like, this guy wore this mask. 459 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: That's crazy. He's handsome. I saw the picture of him. 460 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: I have not seen it. Just type it in you 461 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 1: find it right now. I tried and I didn't see one. Yeah, 462 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: let's there. Uh. Blue Demon, as you mentioned, Uh, started 463 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: in a bunch of his own movies as well. There 464 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: was mill mascotas and he was the first guy to 465 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: do a lot of the the big aerial moves. That's 466 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 1: what he was known for. And he he was in 467 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: a couple of films I think with The Blue Demon 468 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: and Santo and he tried. He was one of the 469 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: ones that made his name in the United States as well. Yeah. 470 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: I think he was the first crossover or the first 471 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: successful crossover. Yeah. I don't think we mentioned the w 472 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: w E. God, I hope I get that right. One 473 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: of the if not, both have have you know, contracts 474 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: with the Lucha Libre organizations because you know, it's big 475 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: money in both countries, so they want to they wanna 476 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: and you know, there's a lot of Latinos living in 477 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: the United States obviously, so they want to draw in 478 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: that crowd, and so they try to do a little 479 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: cross promotion when they can. Good sense. Um. Probably the 480 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: most successful crossover guy was is Ray Mysterio. That's a 481 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: great name. UM. He basically brought the idea of um 482 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: Luca Libre to professional wrestling in America, at least this 483 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: generation that's watching now. UM. And I think he's still wrestling. 484 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, Maybe we'll find out Mystico is still wrestling. 485 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: He just came over to the w w E in 486 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: two thousand eleven. Um. He had to change his name though. Yeah. 487 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: He started out in the CMLLL in two thousand and six. UM, 488 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: and he when he came over to the w w E. Apparently, 489 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: see m l L doesn't have the same kind of 490 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: contract with the w w E that the other one does, 491 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: because they said, no, we own Mystico and his mask, 492 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: so you have to change your name and wear a 493 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: new mask and be shamed forever probably, And so he said, 494 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: you know what, that's fine, I'll be since sara, which 495 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 1: translates to without a face. He's like, you're still writing 496 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: the checks, right, you know? Yeah? Anyways, all right, yeah, 497 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: I'll be whatever then. And then you also mentioned Eddie 498 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: Guerrero and he um. He was very popular heel Rudols 499 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: who made a crossover into the w w E. Oh yeah, yeah, 500 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: I've seen pictures of that guy. But he died in 501 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: two thousand and five, supposedly of um steroid use. It 502 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: was exacerbated by steroid use. There are female uh pro 503 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: wrestlers in Mexico and they are called Lucadores obviously, and 504 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: they have their own cml L has their own women's division, 505 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: and Triple A also recognizes a mixed tag team championship, 506 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: which I imagine would be pretty cool men and women 507 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: wrestling wrestling together. But that's fine, and they have the 508 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: mini Estralla or the minis, which is not only for 509 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: little people but just people under five ft tall originally, 510 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: although there are some now they're like five four or 511 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: five five. Well, do you want to talk with the 512 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: mini there? Well, they're little people that wrestle. Well, there's 513 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: there's commonly a mini version of another of a larger luchador. Okay, 514 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: so they'll be like, um, just kind of a sometimes 515 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: they'll wrestle together. Um, sometimes they're alter egos, but they'll 516 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: be like like a mini version of of a luchador. 517 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: Did you hear about arter Rito. He was one of 518 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: the mini's and he had a he did an R 519 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: two D two bit. His name is Archrita. Yeah, that's 520 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: pretty cool. And then perhaps the biggest way that it 521 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: differentiates from American wrestling is since the nineteen fifties they 522 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: have openly supported gay wrestlers, very flamboyant, cross dressing gay wrestlers. Yeah, 523 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: they're called the Exotic Coast. Yeah, how about that. There's 524 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: one um that's really kind of larger and in charge 525 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: right now, um named Uhdra and he is the Queen 526 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: of the Ring. That's what he builds himself as he 527 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: commonly wrestles in like a bathing suitor bikini and pantyhose 528 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: um in drag. I watched the interview with him. He's extremely, 529 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: extremely flamboyant and um. Apparently he started out wrestling with 530 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: a mask. Uh and then said, you know, I realized 531 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: I'm hiding behind this and I don't feel like I 532 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: need to hide. So he's one of also not only 533 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: the probably the most flamboyant of the exotic cos the 534 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: most openly gay of them all. Um, he's also one 535 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 1: of the rare um Mexican wrestlers that wrestles without a mask. Yeah. 536 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: And he said that, you know, the fans get behind me. 537 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: He said that, you know, at first I'll get some 538 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: booze and some like some things being said to me, 539 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: but it's been going on since the nineteen fifties Exotico 540 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: uh pro wrestler, and apparently fans get behind it in 541 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: a in a country and sport that's obviously very geared 542 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: towards the macho. Uh. It's pretty cool to know that 543 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: they'll they'll get behind these guys and root for him. Yeah. 544 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 1: Cassandra is the star. Robert Lamb of Stuff to Blow 545 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: your mind told me you know about Cassandro right, well 546 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: he uh also Cassandro was was trained by Raymisterio Senior, 547 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: so he is like a real legit awesome lineage there. Yeah, 548 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: the Mysterios have like this whole family dynasty. Yeah, that's 549 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: real big his so Raymisterio who we mentioned his uncle, 550 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: Raymisterio Senior um was like one of the original luchadors. 551 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: And then they also has like a brother and nephew 552 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: a cousin that are all also very um they're like 553 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: successful luchadors too. Pretty cool. So I'd love to go 554 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: to I hope the Bavoom or something comes to Atlanta. Like, 555 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: I'm not so much into the w w E, but 556 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: this stuff reminds me of the awesome childhood wrestling that 557 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: I so enjoyed. Yeah, plus masks. Yeah, and if it 558 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: doesn't come chuck, you can watch it on the internet. 559 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: And by the way, I wanted to correct himself, that 560 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 1: was Eddie Guerrero who was part of a family dynasty. Okay, 561 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: not Mysterio, but there is a Ray Mysterious Senior. I've 562 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: got some of these, you know. Lamb has like five 563 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 1: of these masks, and uh el Cheapo my band was 564 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: gonna wear them for our Halloween party and playing them, 565 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 1: and so he lent them to me and I thought 566 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,439 Speaker 1: it was awesome. But my drummer was like mask what? Yeah, 567 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: he did want to wear a mask. I know you're 568 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: drummer and he needs to wear a mask. Um, And 569 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: I almost meant to bring one in and then kind 570 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: of dip behind the curtain before we started, and then 571 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: just like sit down in surprise at the point I 572 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: left mine at home too. Do you have one? Yeah, 573 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,280 Speaker 1: Strickling gave me one. What is it with those two? 574 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. Did they get together and wrestle and masks? 575 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: You should see them around candy sprinkles though they can't 576 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,439 Speaker 1: even be in the same room. I got to see 577 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,720 Speaker 1: the video, all right, Well, um, that's it for Mexican 578 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 1: wrestling a k a. Lucha Libre. Indeed, oh, we should 579 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: probably mention Nacho Libre. I thought it was a good movie, 580 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: What about you? I liked it, man, I mean, I 581 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,320 Speaker 1: love Jack Black, but he's he's I don't think it 582 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: was his best I like Jack Black the least that 583 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: he was the least part of that movie that I liked. 584 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,760 Speaker 1: But with that movie, keeping with the tradition. He played 585 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: a man fighting for the rights of these orphans, right, 586 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: so it was very much true to the lad And 587 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: I'm so glad you brought that up, because I really 588 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 1: feel like we would have gotten a lot of listener 589 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: mail and we would have been remiss. How have we 590 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,280 Speaker 1: not brought up Super Barrio, who is a Mexican wrestler 591 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: that exists only outside the ring. There's a guy who 592 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: in the eighties was showing up at um like evictions 593 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 1: things like that, in protests like um cheap housing protests. Uh. 594 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,399 Speaker 1: As this Mexican wrestler name named super Barrio, even though 595 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: he didn't wrestle, was a big fat guy um and 596 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: he uh, he was a an avenger for the rights 597 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: of tenants. And he said, like he was interviewed, he 598 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 1: ran for president of Mexico in night and uh he 599 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 1: was interviewed and said, like in after this devastating earthquake 600 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: that left a lot of people homeless in Mexico. Um, 601 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: he was in his apartment and he was bathed suddenly 602 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: in a yellow and red light and when it just pated, 603 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 1: he said, quote, I was dressed like this, and he's 604 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 1: wearing like a red and yellow like outfit with like 605 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: a cape and everything. And he said that a voice 606 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: told him you are super barrio, defender of tenants and 607 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,400 Speaker 1: scourge of greedy landlords. So he spent at least a 608 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,320 Speaker 1: decade showing up at rallies and like, you know, really 609 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 1: having a real genuine impact for the greater good. I 610 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: think I'd be way more into American pro wrestling if 611 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: they had like these causes that they were behind, like 612 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 1: defending the poor and stuff like, instead of just you know, 613 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: I'm I don't even know their names anymore. Rowdy Roddy Piper. No, 614 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: he wasn't. They lived. Oh so he's he's got a 615 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: pass for me forever. Okay, I don't care what he does. 616 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,959 Speaker 1: He he was in They Live, and that's cool. He's 617 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,320 Speaker 1: old school. Yeah, all right, Well that's it about Roddy 618 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: Roddy Piper. That's right. Um.

I thought about a tandem, but no, 621 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: I thought that's you're gonna lose some listeners if you 622 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: do a Tuesday Thursday wrestling combo.
