Mexican masked wrestlers have brought lucha libre wrestling to a historic subway station over the weekend to celebrate 50 years of Mexico City's Metro system.
Mexican wrestler Rakner clashes with Relampago Veloz during "lucha libre" fight in Mexico City, Saturday, Dec. 21, 2019. Mexican wrestling, otherwise known as the “lucha libre,” is a highly traditional form of light entertainment.
Taking wrestling to the streets on a day of leisure struck Tinieblas as brilliant, since some fans lack the time or economic means to see a match in an arena. The display on the concrete esplanade of one of Mexico City's first Metro stations was put on by an arts foundation called LuchArte to commemorate 50 years of the city's heavily trafficked subway system.
Annual ridership of the Mexico City subway system tops 1.6 billion in a sprawling metropolitan area with 22 million inhabitants. The lines span 140 miles , making the capital's subway one of the most extensive urban rail networks in the world. The bravado on display over the weekend included a five-woman match filled with grunts, slaps, chest pumps, body locks and flips. An Aztec princess in fishnet stockings took on the bad girls with the help of a little person whose hits and punches drove the crowd wild.
