Matt Bracken 0 Comment Nation, The Baltimore Sun California, Los Angeles, wrestling

Lucha Va Voom is the mixture of elements of Lucha libre, or masked Mexican professional wrestling, with comedy and striptease. Since 2002, the company has toured the U.S. For the annual Cinco De Mayo show, they have added some more traditional Mexican elements like Folklorico dancers, mariachis, Aztec dancers, tequila, and something called tamales from outer space.
