A few weeks ago the city had its first annual luche libre match in the colonial plaza in the center of town. It was as funny as you might think. You can tell that U.S. wrestling has had an impact, but here they stick more to the costumed characters instead of resorting to the animalistic violence that defines wrestling up north.
The characters themself were pretty goofy, most of them. Almost anti-tough. But when looking around the audience and seeing all the little kids and their contagious excitment you realize who the entertainment was for. Still, I couldn't help shaking my head in the almost amaturish cheesyness of it all.
