Oh my god! I am slowly falling in love with Lucha Underground. I have been watching highlights of it this past weekend on YouTube, and I already have my favorites. Some of my favorite wrestlers on the show are Aero Star; Black Lotus; Joey Ryan; Pentagon Dark; PJ Black; Ivelisse; Taya Valkyrie; and Johnny Muno also known as John Morrison, which is a name he used while wrestling with World Wrestling Entertainment. For those that are not familiar with what lucha libre style wrestling is; it is different from professional wrestling promotions in the United States, and Europe.

A popular part of lucha libre persona is his or her mascara, or lucha libre mask. The masks helps a fighter stay anonymous in a country enthralled by the sport of Mexican wrestling. The career starts as masked wrestlers.
Lucha Underground is not my introduction to lucha libre style of wrestling; I have seen it on other promotions, such as the World Wrestling Federation, and World Championship Wrestling, which was a wrestling promotion purchased by the World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment Inc in 2001, but it is known now as World Wrestling Entertainment.

What makes Lucha Underground so unique to me is its story lines; and the lucha wrestlers are the dominant wrestlers on the show; compared to World Wrestling Entertainment where there are very few lucha wrestlers. There are also few unmasked wrestlers on Lucha Underground; compared to World Wrestling Entertainment where it is dominantly unmask wrestlers.
I have never seen this, but the masks do make it interesting.
Yeah they do and there are so many unique looking ones. The masks are their identity
Have not watched it but it sounds like you are enjoying. Good for you.
One of the few things that I could watch on a regular on YouTube : )
