They also were given the chance to wrestle the legendary NWA world heavyweight champion Lou Thesz in tag team matches - one at Arena Mexico when Thesz teamed with Blue Demon, and one in Puebla where Thesz joined forces with Huracán Ramírez. Espanto II fondly remembers those bouts as some of the best in his career.

This Week's Featured Bio

Elgladiador.jpg
El Gladiador was not the greatest of wrestlers and his huge rise to stardom was very discussed by the media because it was clear that he was pushed due to looks and charisma rather than actual ability. He was not a bad wrestler, though, but he was not on the work level of the biggest superstars in the industry. He'd come to the ring dressed in his full Gladiator attire, and he was given a big push so he defeated almost everybody in the company and kept an undefeated streak during some time. Well, in all reality he lost many matches, but just via DQ. As said, he had an awesome look and as lucha was started to get on TV at that time, that influence can also be credited as one of the causes of Gladiador's success.

  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.
