Scans from the Lucha Libre Photo Book

[sek69]

So I purchased the Lourdes Grobet book off Amazon a few weeks ago (and my used copy came stamped "BROOKLYN PUBLIC LIBRARY" so maybe I bought it from Shad and JTG?) and I thought I'd share some of the more awesome images:

 

 

 

Blue Demon showing how lucha can take something as ridiculous as a grown man wearing a suit and wrestling mask and make it into something awesome. He's stylin' and profilin' despite looking like he's at the Sears Portrait Studio.

 

 

 

Moments after this photo was taken, challenges were made for the first ever Mascara contra Mascara Tuxedo match.

 

 

 

Silver mask, pimp suit, Asian women giving you their titties to hold. This is why Santo > You.

 

 

 

Porky get serious for a moment, posing next to a portrait of his father.

 

 

 

Brazo Family Photo, about 20 years and 200 pounds ago.

 

 

 

Interior of Arena Mexico, circa 1984.

 

 

and finally..........

 

 

Kahos, aka Antonio Pena.

Not the Pena Kahoz.

 

Still, everyone needs this book.

Someone needs to tell Grobet that, there's a whole chapter devoted to Kahos/Pena with pics of the guy I posted.

Blue Demon (Sr and Jr) is a pimp. I have an issue of FHM were he's modeling swank suits while hot women fawn all over him.
