My edit of Titán....

Luchador Electrico

Electrico is another Luchador who is part of the 'mini estrellas'. Born in 1986, he started his training at 15 , yet like many of the Lucha Libre, his true identity remains unknown.

Check out his big hands!

Luchador Pequeño Olímpico

This is Pequeño Olímpico, Spanish for "Little Olympian" which alludes to the fact that he wrestles as a mini version of 'Olympico'.

The term Mini-Estrella (Spanish for "Mini-Star") is used in lucha libre to describe a division of short professional wrestlers or luchadors, some of whom have dwarfism. The Mexican Mini-Estrellas is comparable to midget professional wrestling practiced around the world, but with the notable exception that some of the Mini's, such as Pequeño Olímpico, do not have dwarfism but are simply short.

I like the vulnerability Pequeño Olímpico shows in some of these images.

Luchador Negro Casas

Negro Casas is an important figure within the Lucha Libre as he comes from a wrestling family and has traveled all over the world during his wrestling career, including stints in Japan and the USA.
Negro Casas has been wrestling now for 30 years and has always wrestled without a mask, something unusual within the Lucha Libre.

I have been struggling to edit these photos down from the chosen 3 below and am also wondering whether the shots work better in black and white or colour.
I have discovered lately that blogging my edits often helps me make a final selection down the line so hopefully all will become clear in a few days......
