>>17663266Lucha Libre was considered a sacred "sport" for the longest time for marks with tons of mysticism , mysteries and paranormal shit, and and once AAA took over, it turned it into sports entertainment being very inspired by WWF at the time and exposing some of the business and values I mentioned.
Even to this day both smarks and marks and the hardcore CMLL workers/owners hate AAA because they consider AAA carny stuff with little value on the "sport" side.
OFC there is some market that enjoys every type of product like jap/usa/yuro/aaa/cmll wrestling due to the internet but Lucha is still somewhat a sacred "sport" in mexico
