• Spreading Lucha Libre to
  South-East Asia!

  An email came in today from Lili’s Dad in Malaysia. There’s an article in The Star newspaper on Mucha Lucha and the history of Lucha Libre/Mexican Wrestling. There are images of the ML characters next to photos of real Mexican luchadores.

  The online version doesn’t come with any of these pictures, but is still very cool indeed.

  … So there you have it; the title may sound lucah but there’s nothing 18SX about it. Besides, how can we not grow to like a show that features moves like the Buena Bulldozer of Truth and the Blazing Turkey of Courage? 

  P.S. I should explain. The word “lucah” (pronounced “lucha”) in the Malaysian language = sexually obscene, lewd. Something I learnt only today
