So I was preparing lunch. TV was on, and it was airing some sort of travel documentary, the type that has a bunch of people traveling to far-off places and seeing the unusual sights. So the episode in particular is in Bolivia, and I really wasn't paying attention much until I noticed they said something about wrestling.
And so I saw. Apparently, a bunch of middle-aged women come out multiple layered dresses and bowler hats and wrestled. Actual pro wrestling, with arm drags from the top rope and sunset flips and hitting people with a water bottle. One of the female wrestler's had a ring name of something (forgot the first name) Dos Caras. And from a banner there was even a picture of a luchador.

I found this documentary on women's wrestling Bolivia: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiKD9aeDqf0As is the case with wrestling anywhere in the world there is no shortage of promoters exploiting the talent. Also, I thought it was interesting that one of the flyers Yolanda shows to the government official says, "NWA" on it. also, the logo in the ring the women practice in also says "NWA"

Bo Dallas blessed this promotion when he delivered 10,000 squirt guns to the starving children of Bo-livia.

When I was travelling South America about 5 years ago I got to wrestle for these guys, first and only match was an awesome experience. Really fun show too. youtu.be/P0XiOUFzgsM
