7 Lucha Libre Mantles

[@RememberTheDead]

One interesting story is that of the "Pentagón curse". is that the Pentagón gimmick (as you can tell by the video) seems to have a high turnover and injury rate (the first Pentagón retired after being clinically dead in the ring for a minute), with pretty much all Pentagóns also not really having significant careers. According to Pentagón Jr/Penta El 0M, the story went by that the Pentagón gimmick was thus cursed and he was advised not to accept it when it was pitched to him, which is where he developed his famous mantra of "Cero Miedo!/Zero Fear!" to signify his fearlessness towards the alleged curse of the Pentagón gimmick. He really struck gold with that one. Became the best man without fear this side of Daredevil. Keep up the good work, Dave!

[@nybxcrotona]

That's cool. I never knew where his "Cero Miedo" catchphrase came from. I always thought it was due to some AAA rivalry that blew up for him.

[@ComicBookGuy420]

Nice one

[@lewisaino]

Siempre desafiante . 0M nunca caerá

[@richardrodriguez3575]

Yes, I would like to hear about La Parka, El Hijo de La Parka, LA Park & the rest who use that name or a offshoot of it

[@HyliRelaxed]

also awesome Penta Jr has the hardest chops in the biz!

[@mariotrujillo8860]

mil mascaras: a dude with so much heat his own family wont take up is legacy.

[@DaveKnowsWrestling]

Ouch.. burn

[@KingBenny]

By the way.... not every "jr" in lucha libre is the legit son of a luchador sometimes they just put the mask on some random to out them over

[@Impact95]

Some legends in Mexico rent his name for money to others wrestler and they uses like a jr. character, some examples are Cien Caras Jr. and Mascara Año 2000 Jr.

[@rogregg29445]

Yeah Rey took the name from his uncle

[@alexandersilady4751]

A lot of the times it actually is the original wrestler's nephew or younger cousin.

[@lewisaino]

Blue Demon Jr is adopted Pretty much the blood tie is Hijo de

[@tafua_a]

I guess that's why "El Hijo De" is often used. "Jr." means "the young one" and "El Hijo De" means "that guy's son"

[@KlaunVI]

Your voice is buttery smooth. I enjoy it. Cheers.

[@DaveKnowsWrestling]

Thanks

[@vincentestrade1283]

Also worth mentioning the Great Sasuke mask/outfit, being heavily inspired by Octagón!

[@DaveKnowsWrestling]

Not a bad little tidbit there

[@liviolangella2777]

If you do a sequel I would like to hear about Octagon, La Parka and Mascarita Sagrada

[@vicentenavarro5494]

To answer the question at the end I'm a fan of Doctor Wagner Junior, but I don't know anything about the original, great video as always. Love hearing you talk about Lucha

[@DaveKnowsWrestling]

I did think about putting Dr Wagner on this list

[@lewisaino]

He was a member of the Ola Blanca with El Solitario and Angle Blanco Sadly the latter 2 died

[@Backwoods_Squatch]

Great Video, Dave! Especially for those of us who need "Closed Captioning for the Lucha Knowledge Impaired".

Rey Fenix vs Pentagon jr was an amazing match

I came across this now, and surprised you didn't touch on Shadito Cruz and the Brazo family line.

[@robsenzig5720]

Technically speaking, I would have to say that Doc Wagner and Doc Wagner Jr. along with Psycho Clown would have to rate as good luchadors

[@DaveKnowsWrestling]

I did think of them too

[@rubysilvereye3611]

I'm incredibly impressed with Dominik Mysterio. Watching him evolve and hopefully put his own twist on the Mysterio legacy will be fascinating to watch. He's only 23, should be a fun ride.

[@DaveKnowsWrestling]

I am impressed too, but I wish he was in NXT right now

[@0fficialdregs]

PENTAGON JR VS OCTAGON JR (kalisto) is the highlight of my youth watching them wrestling in 2012

[@trosinesss]

Los Alvarado are really big, even though they don’t have the same gimmick passed on generation to generation they all have enjoy success although their careers.

[@GQRS]

Bro i remember blue demon, Santos and mil mascaras for all the action movies they did back in the day. You couldn't watch channel 34 sat night without a movie of Santos, blue demon or mil mascaras being in it....lol

You should look into to the Chivos Dynasty also 💯 El Chivo Garcia who wrestled against el santo, blue demon and Dr Wagner, had 3 sons, Pepe Ramirez, Enigma De Oro and Kayam who would form the famous tag team Los Chivos, Enigma also wrestled as El santo De Oro, and Estudiante. El Chivo the grandson of Enigma debuts June 2nd in east LA also
