"The art of Pancracio refers to professional wrestling. The greatest of these wrestlers were born in Mexico and remain etched in people’s memories. Mexican wrestling is lived with passion: the public tends to focus on the technical side and their support is "rough".
It´s common to see children climb into the ring or wear a mask during the games, while the rest of the audience and families scream in joy at the cathartic process. Mexican wrestling is a cultural phenomenon with the spectators enjoying the fight between their very own gladiators."
