Mexican Wrestler
Lucha libre is one of the most popular sports-spectacles in Mexico, for this reason it was denominated as intangible, popular and cultural patrimony of mexico city. The wrestler has become a symbol of mexican identity, characters that are legends, symbols of the good and the bad, of pain and joy, heroes of flesh and blood that fight against the unknown. Wrestlers are divided into two classes, the tecnicos who represent the good guys who dream of defeating the bad guys and the rudos who on the contrary are the ones who always break the rules and their followers identify with them because they feel fed up with the institutions, against the referee or judge, they are the ones who fight against the nonconformity of the people. In xharik we have a collection of mexican wrestlers that represent the folklore of our culture.
