Luche Libre: Chupacabras

Posted by: Loren Coleman on July 4th, 2006

Just a brief note that with the success of Jack Black in the movie Nacho Libre (2006), many North Americans are awakening to the popularity of luche libre ("free-style fighting"). The masked version of Mexican professional wrestling has been around since the 1930s.

As a reflection of popular culture, it is not surprising that cryptids pop up as characters, now and then, in luche libre.

One luchador ("wrestler") has even dressed himself as a Chupacabras.

Chupacabras

Do you know others?
