Lucha Libre USA: Masked Warriors in Second Season
Over-the-top is an understatement when it comes to Lucha Libre USA: Masked Warriors, the high-spirited Mexican wrestling spectacular that marries exciting aerial maneuvers and extraordinary acrobatics with flamboyant characters and outlandish story lines.
Beginning on October 1, Lucha Libre USA: Masked Warriors begins its second season of explosive battles—in and out of the ring—on MTV2 and MTV Tr3s.
The series is recorded before enthusiastic live audiences at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Albuquerque in NM.
A global phenomenon that is almost a religion in Mexico, where it rivals soccer in attendance, lucha libre (free wrestling) boasts a 75-year history of colorful, fun-for-the-whole family entertainment.
Having already won the loyalty of generations of Latino fans of all ages, Lucha Libre USA is conquering American audiences—particularly the sought after young male 12-34 demographics—with its unique spin on the art of wrestling and the outsized personalities of its Luchastars.
“With Lucha Libre USA,” CEO Steven Ship says, “we have created a distinctive fusion of American pop culture and a great Mexican sport, one that appeals equally to the 50 million Hispanics living in the US, the mainstream wrestling fan and the MTV2 viewer.”
To capture that audience, Lucha Libre USA: Masked Warriors has brought in a well-known, world-class roster of Mexican and U.S .wrestlers, like Lizmark Jr. Super Nova, Marco Corleone, Shane Helms and Tinieblas Jr.
