Profile
Nearly historic, instead of a trivia note. Yambeke was a female wrestler for the Superlibres promotion, based in Pavillon Azteca in the 80s. Despite living close to Arena Coliseo, EMLL was not promoting women's wrestling, so Yambeke joined the smaller group. On February 27, 1987, four months before the first women's match in Arena Mexico, Yambeke was scheduled to be in the first ever mask match against La Guerillera. Hours before the match, the commission blocked the mask stipulation from taking place. (Yambeke won the match, and a cash prize instead.) The match was again announced for March 1st, but that show was canceled.
Two months later, La Diabolica took La Yaqui's mask on May 3, 1987.
