> I know Lucha Libre aired on Mexican networks that could be seen over-the-air in border areas, but did it ever appear on American Spanish-language television networks? Univision, Telemundo, Galavision an the like came onto their own in the 1990s, and many an Anglo spent more than a few minutes trying to decipher the soap operas and old-school variety shows that dominate those networks.

A friend of mine in high school back in the 80’s was a pro-wrestling fan. He knew all about the traditions of Lucha Libre, mainly from trading tapes with other fans from Mexico, Texas, and California, but also from Mexican-style (in other words, not necessarily from Mexico) masked wrestlers who appeared in pro wrestling’s “minor leagues.” I vaguely remember the odd documentary appearing on American TV about Mexican wrestlers. So, it wasn’t entirely out of the realm of the American consciousness.

Irony: The board which debunks recovered memories helps one of its own to recover memories!
