This Week's Featured Article The Volador/Misterioso combo still remains as one of the best tag teams ever in the history of lucha libre. Most modern fans are quick to point out how Volador was "by far" the best worker and "carrier" of the team, but actually most old-time lucha fans and experts in Mexico and California agree that Misterioso was the best luchador of the team until sometime in 1993 (probably early in the year). Volador was always flashier, but Misterioso's timing and execution was generally better. However Volador really improved, and at the same time Misterioso became very inconsistent due to his recreational lifestyle, injuries, and the fact that he was a guy that naturally aged fast.

Notable Essay Robert Bihari, Top Lucha Matches of All-Time :" WHY put a list like this together? Simple... back when I first got the internet and began to get into Lucha Libre, there was no list like this available. When I?d ask around for what the better matches were, I?d get generic answers such as ?any AAA from 1993-1995?, ?any CMLL with Santo vs Negro? and ?all the Promo Azteca footage?. While those answers aren?t completely wrong, they are quite broad and you?d have to spend a lifetime collecting every AAA TV episode from those years or every CMLL match involving both El Hijo Del Santo and Negro Casas.:) The goal is for this list to become a valuable tool for any Lucha newbies who want to see the best that Mexico has to offer."

Categories of Articles Wrestlers are sorted into those born in Mexico, and those born elsewhere, broken down even more by various individual countries. There's also bio listings for Mini Estrellas, Female Wrestlers and Referees. More categories will be added soon, as well as a table of contents. If there's someone or something you're looking for but just can't seem to find, try the search box on the left side.
