Most over luchadors

[dlg3000]

Whenever I think of luchadors who aren't Mexican, I think of Rey Mysterio. I know of Vampiro who is also a luchador, but doesn't wrestle the luchador style. Konnan is also a luchador, but he too is not Mexican, but Cuban. Who is or was the most over luchador in both the US and in Mexico? Is it Rey in the US and Vampiro and/or Konnan in Mexico? What really makes a wrestler a luchador? This is for "experts" of Mexican wrestling. I know that luchador means wrestler/competitor, but what truly makes a luchador? Could you give me a few other luchadors who aren't masked or who aren't Mexican and would Chris "Lionheart" Jericho be one of them since he is foreignn and has wrestled in Mexico?

I would say Jushin Thunder Lyger is pretty over in Mexico

it's a good question to ask. I usually consider the guys who are more acrobatic luchadors. A guy like Jericho, while insanely over in Mexico, was not a fan of Lucha Libre for a few reasons (looked extremely fake, you work the opposite side of the body from what guys in Canada and the US worked).

Vampiro and Konnan were pretty damn over back in the day and were the 2 top babyfaces of the mid 90's.

In recent years, Mistico/Sin Cara was THE guy and I think he set a record for drawing in Mexico.

Was Ultimo Dragon over when he wrestled in Mexico?

Dr. Wagner Jr. is probably the most over right now.

Luchador just means wrestler so all wrestlers are luchadors to Spanish speakers.

Let's just say that he STILL is.
