Whats with all the midgets in Lucha Libre?
Midgets are very popular in Lucha Libre. Exactly why is unknown, but they usually work harder and have more high spots than their American counterparts. Also, it’s very common to see midgets adopt the gimmicks, wrestling style, face/heel status, and costume as their larger counterparts. Further, midgets also adopt the name of their larger counterpart and transform it to the diminutive; for example the “big guy” is Mascara Sagrada and his midget counterpart is Mascarita Sagrada.
