Some people might be wrestling with how to celebrate Cinco De Mayo, but a group of masked men and women think the best solution is to actually wrestle.
Collectively, they're known as "Lucha Vavoom," and this offbeat modern interpretation of "lucha libre" wrestling plans on honoring the hallowed Mexican tradition by having their burly men and strong señoritas battle in the ring tonight in both Los Angeles and Chicago.
Not familiar with this sport? Well, it dates back to the mid-1940s when a group of average Joses started grappling with each other while wearing masks in order to protect their identities.
But according to Señor Sanchez, one of this troupe's wrestlers, the mask is also a way to express one's true personality.
"Lucha libre is action," he told AOL.com. "Everything is spoken in the ring. People do whatever they got to in order to get the crowd excited."
The troupe's co-founder, a blonde bombshell named Ursulina, says that a luchadore's willingness to do anything in the heat of battle -- even when dressed up in a chicken costume -- is what gives this version of lucha libre its special appeal.
"A 'luchadore' is so much more exciting than American wrestling," she said. "Luchadores flip and fly. They're acrobats. They're fun and they're funny. If you don't like wrestling, you'll love Mexican wrestling. And if you do like wrestling, you'll love Mexican wrestling."
There is strength in mystery, which is another reason wrestlers like Señor Sanchez wear masks.
"When I have this mask on in front of thousands and thousands of people, I am a superstar. I can't imagine life without it," he said.
There is a more pragmatic reason for the mask according to a female wrestler named "Rosa Picosa."
"If I would wrestle in the ring without a mask, I don't think they'd like it at my day job," she said.
