Grouping Mexico's Workers

[ohtani's jacket]

Never finished this.

Everymen
Javier Cruz, Texano, Dandy
Kind of an unmasked version of the Lizmark group, but these guys are generally more grounded and more likely to brawl. All three spent substantial time as rudos. Previously quite common (Americo Rocca belongs here), but unmasked workers are a lot rarer now. I'm not 100% confident that this is a cohesive group, especially Texano, who was much more muscled than the other two and is remembered more as a rudo Misionero than as a tecnico.

Idols
Perro Aguayo, Sangre Chicana, Villano III, Black Terry
Beloved workers with a penchant for bloody brawls. Spent time as rudos, some even while still beloved. Black Terry seems out of place here, but he mattered as much to his smaller fanbase as Chicana and Aguayo did to theirs. Not really sure modern wrestling supports this kind of worker, although I guess LA Park has matches in the same style.

Everyman is a tough descriptor. I get what you're going for, but in my mind an everyman is a babyface like Steve Grey. I also can't ignore the fact that there was a period in my lucha fandom where Dandy was The Man for me, and that in the most recent match I watched of Texano, he also came across as The Man. Cruz always felt like a sidekick to me. He may be the best example of the workers listed, however I can't think of too many other guys like Cruz off the top of my head. I'm sure there have been a ton. I get what you mean, though. Unmasked workers who were different from the superhero liked masked luchadores. 

Idols is a strange category When I think of idol, I think of a huge star like Canek or Mascaras. Perro fits that criteria, but he could also be an example of a great lucha brawler. Villano could fit into a number of different categories, though the jury's still out in my head on how good of a worker he was. Sangre was over in a way that befit an idol, but I don't think he was legendary as some of the big lucha names. Terry I would consider an all-round talent and an idol to a small group of people including myself, but not a big enough star to be on the list. He's probably the greatest journeyman in the history of lucha.
