Extreme Wrestling Takes Total Dedication | Legends of Lucha Libre | PBS SoCal

 


This episode centers on the discipline and sacrifice required to survive the "old school" lucha libre training system. We reveal that Rey Misterio Sr. was a notoriously tough and strict maestro who trained many of Tijuana’s greatest luchadores. Lady Lee’s story takes the lead, as she recounts how she was forged in this demanding system, training against men, which resulted in her aggressive, hard-hitting style in the ring. The episode also provides essential context, detailing the difference between Técnicos and Rudos, and shows Lady Lee continuing her mentor’s work by diligently training the next generation of luchadores.
