During a trios match in which Eddy Guerrero and El Hijo Del Santo had [[Love Machine]] in the opposite team, Machine ripped off Santo's mask, put it on, and attacked Guerrero while pointing to himself like trying to say "Look at me, I'm Santo!". Machine then returned the mask to its owner, only to see an enraged Eddy Guerrero turn on Santo. A week later, Guerrero formed an alliance with Machine, "La Pareja Del Terror" (The team of terror).
But the most legendary feud of [[[Solitario]]] ended up being his long time rivalry with Wagner, to the point it overshadows his also legendary feuds against Blanco, Mendoza and Perro Aguayo. The legendary "war to settle it all", the mask vs. mask match against Wagner, happened on December 1, 1985 at the enormous Plaza de Toros (Bullring) Monumental in Monterrey, Nuevo León where their popularity (especially Wagner's) was even bigger than in Mexico City. It was a dramatic slower paced match with a lot of submissions and some parts where the match would sped up and Soli could use his big moves. A clipped version of it exists on video and it's a true classic.


The influence of Guerrero and Machine changed lucha libre forever. Guerrero had been wrestling more and more in Japan and started using high impact suplexes and brain busters during his lucha matches. On the other hand, Machine was the American cocky, coward, old-style heel. Or like Konnan later said "Art was the Ric Flair of Mexico".

But the most legendary feud of [[[Solitario]]] ended up being his long time rivalry with Wagner, to the point it overshadows his also legendary feuds against Blanco, Mendoza and Perro Aguayo. The legendary "war to settle it all", the mask vs. mask match against Wagner, happened on December 1, 1985 at the enormous Plaza de Toros (Bullring) Monumental in Monterrey, Nuevo León where their popularity (especially Wagner's) was even bigger than in Mexico City. It was a dramatic slower paced match with a lot of submissions and some parts where the match would sped up and Soli could use his big moves. A clipped version of it exists on video and it's a true classic.

If you'd like to edit pages or create some new ones, we've just added some basic instructions. Click on Help at any time to learn how to make a new page, how to link to a page, how to use the profile template, and more. (And if you're an expert user, feel free to add to that help page with your own hints.) We've also got a Sandbox, where anyone can test or practice things without consquence.

System Update

We're planning on moving to our new home, luchawiki.com. We're not quite ready for the move (there's some issues with accents being handled properly), so please 'keep adding to THIS site, and we'll keep you posted. Thanks.

I WANT TO HELP!

If you want to help adding profiles, but you don't feel like you have the proper lucha knowledge, there's a huge list of foreign wrestlers (male or female) wanted to be added at: To do. If you're lost or confused, we'll be glad to help - contact us by leaving a message on any discussion page, or going to our individual user my talk pages - mine is right here!

More articles! More bios! Things I'm not even thinking about right now! A Task List is now up for you to openly mock as nothing gets accomplished.

Anyone who signs up for an account is free to comment, add, and edit. People who come to destroy will be swiftly removed. A specfic Rules list is coming, but in general, don't be a moron.

Feedback's appreicated.

  1. For page specific feedback, use the discussion tab on those pages
  2. For general feedback and request for new features, please use the Suggestion Page or the Errors Found.
  3. For help with wiki syntax and other fun editing things, you can try the Wiki Confusion page, although if I haven't already done it myself at this point, I'm probably going to just be checking the [Wiki Handbook] and trying to figure out, so you may just skip me.

If you're completely confused, the admins can be contacted @ luchawiki at thecubsfan dot com - well, I can. I should work on that. (It's ON THE LIST.)

Editors: the Sandbox and Old Main Page are still around.
