WORD OF THE DAY! 10/7/12.

luchadore [loo-chuh-dohr]
noun
1. A member or spiritual member of the Mexican "lucha libre" or "free-wrestling" style, with a focus on theatricality, fantasy, machismo and other elements of Mexican culture.

EX. These awesome prints (Click Here) of "La Guerra De Los Luchadores" is a wonderful mix of Star Wars: A New Hope and Lucha Libre. Another fun fact in Lucha Libre is the idea of masked identities, similar to super heroes in some way, to create these legendary characters. Only in defeat, retirement, or death is it considered honorable to demask. It can be assumed that El Darth Vader would be demasked when El Death Star blows up.
