Welcome to luchawiki!

This Week's Featured Bio Lemús was Sangre Chicana's first name in wrestling. He used it more or less during a year until he switched to Sangre Chicana keeping the same mask and outfit. Years later after becoming one of Mexico's top drawing cards, Richardson was training at Santos "Guerrero Azteca" Ramos' old "International Gym" and met an aspiring young wrestler during training and workouts. They built a solid friendship, and with the young man was ready to debut (his idea was to be "The Black Gangster") Chicana told him that he had always wanted the Lemús character to come back but that he didn't know how to proceed... but he had finally found a man with good height, weight and a promising future to give the gimmick to! So with Andres' permission, that man made his ring debut in 1983 during a Batalla Campal (battle royal) at Arena Buenavista in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. After that both Lemús and Chicana appeared in buildings all over: Monterrey in NL, Nuevo Laredo in Tamps., Piedras Negras in Coah... Soon thereafter, Lemús was able to wrestle in San Antonio, TX on Southwest Championship Wrestling. They had a weekly TV show that aired all over TX and into Nuevo Laredo. At the time they didn't showcase many Mexican wrestlers, but Joe Blanchard and Wahoo McDaniel felt that he had the height, weight and style, so he was a regular, wrestling the likes of Ivan Putski, Tiger Conway and others.

Recent Additions Pages of note which have been added or adjusted in the last few days include many biographies which have been updated to include the wrestler's lucha de apuesta records - the hair and mask matches they were invovled in. All biographies have been updated.

Articles Worth Reading A favorite page from La Arena, the Lucha Dictionary has been added to the wiki. Also, we've started a page with information of when/where you can watch lucha in different parts of the world - please add any additional information you might have.

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.
