00:00Lucha Libre and the Mexican Luchadores.
00:04WCW fans show their allegiance with t-shirts of their favorites,
00:08but in Mexico the souvenir selection is limited but unique.
00:12Masks come in all designs, sizes, and colors,
00:16but the intent remains the same.
00:18Create a bond with the wrestler and show the other fans who you support.
00:23Because of limited televised wrestling,
00:26many Lucha fans rely on publications to keep them informed.
00:30La Familia, the family, has always been a significant element of the Mexican culture.
00:37Never is that more true than in Lucha Libre.
00:40I insisted that my son succeeded in school before I allowed them to rescue me.
00:44I asked them to put their heart into it.
00:46We carry the commitment of being Ray Mendoza's sons.
00:49We must make every effort to live up to his name, if possible.
00:53To me, carrying my father's name means a lot of pressure.
00:57I have to prove to everyone that I can do it on my own.
01:01My family has wrestling in our veins.
01:03We feel it. We respect it.
01:06To have this mass and the name Liz Mark is a great pleasure.
01:10With the name, people are expecting something big.
01:12He has gone beyond my fame. It's great.
01:15I think it's in my blood.
01:17My father established a great name.
01:19My father's death was devastating.
01:22The funeral attended by thousands of his fans saw Santo buried with his mask still on his face.
01:28Even in death, Santo managed to conceal his identity.
01:32It was great to see how Mexico bid farewell to him with deep respect.
01:37The decade of the 1980s brought second-generation wrestlers to the forefront.
01:42The time came for the sons of many wrestling legends to shine,
01:46and they have established their names in WCW and around the world.
01:51Next time, we will highlight the high-risk aerial moves of Lucha Libre
01:56and explain how they revolutionized pro wrestling on Lucha Libre and the Mexican Luchadores.
