Wrestling was one of the first Olympic games in Ancient Greece. Then, as they do today, fighters use strength, balance, and technique to throw, pin, or control their opponents. Over time, wrestling has grown from ancient contests to professional shows, exciting audiences with skill, athleticism, and drama.
Wrestling contests go back thousands of years. In ancient Greece, pale, pankration, and folk wrestling were popular, with athletes grappling in competitions that tested strength and strategy. Ancient Egyptians and Romans also practiced wrestling as both sport and entertainment.
Fun fact: In ancient Greece, wrestling was considered one of the hardest and most important sports!

The wrestlers, trained in both acting and athleticism, bring these ancient myths to life with high-energy choreography and engaging storytelling.
The show features intense wrestling matches, where gods clash in the ring, showcasing strength, strategy, and the timeless themes of good versus evil. The audience becomes part of the experience, cheering for their favorite characters and reacting to the thrilling action.

Lucha Libre
(Mexican wrestling)
From Mexico, lucha libre features colorful masks, acrobatic moves, and high-flying maneuvers. Luchadores (wrestlers) are heroes in stories and films, and the masks often represent animals, gods, or legends.
Fun fact: Lucha libre masks are so important that losing one in a match is a big deal for a wrestler’s identity!
In lucha libre, the mask isn’t just part of a costume — it’s a symbol of the wrestler’s character, legacy, and honor. If a wrestler loses a match where the stipulation is “losing your mask,” they must remove it permanently in front of the audience. This is considered a huge moment because it reveals their true identity and can change their career or persona.
