Alright, before you bite my head off for asking something stupid, let me explain
Today I was discussing with my fried about him and his mates going to Mexico by sailing boat (don't ask) and the topic of Lucha Libre came up. He went on saying that Wrestling was fake, which is pretty damn obvious now, and Lucha Libre is real. I was trying to convince him that, from my experience, they are both the same thing. He's an arrogant sod, thus he didn't believe me.
So please tell me, who is right? And be free to call me an idiot for even asking this question.

You're absolutely right. Lucha libre is just like American pro wrestling in the booking, just not in the actual style of wrestling itself. If anything, and this is as a lucha fan, lucha libre is "faker" than American wrestling, because they have to protect each other more because of the insane high spots they do. At least, that's my theory. Lucha Lee probably has insights here that would blow my sorry ass out of the water.

in Mexico, kayfabe is much more sacred than here in the states. many fans still treat it as a sport.
obviously, it's fake. a lot of the Lucha style seems to be more blatantly choreographed to me, but it's cool that way.

Yeah, kayfabe is much more important, specifically because of the mask dynamic. Again, that's just my theory. |

Watch lucha for five minutes. What the hell do you think? It's a human cartoon.

well the thing about lucha libre to me is that it's more about psychology with the rudos always going against the tecnicos.
also another thing I like about lucha libre is that they don't make some spots cheap. for example you don't see real lucha libre workers pulling off insane suplex after insane suplex just for someone to get up afterwords.

I have nothing against it, just to be clear. Heck, I suggested he should go to a Lucha show, especially CMLL since they have the better roster. But it just surprises me that he'd be down on Pro Wrestling and not on Lucha Libre since Lucha is a style of Wrestling, like Puro is.
Just want to have some backup when I discuss this with him again.
