This week we’re joined by the incomparable Mark Gagliardi! He’s Hal Lublin’s podcast partner on “We Got This with Mark and Hal.”

Mark recently got married and decided to celebrate his honeymoon in the best possible way: attending a pro wrestling show. He and his wife attended Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) in Mexico City.

He’ll tell us how everything from the stars to the setting to the audience helped him understand professional wrestling at last.

The Main Event

Lucha is a big part of wrestling, including the biggest wrestling companies in the world. With Mark now exposed to the value of Lucha first hand, we’re going to take a look at the Luchadors of the past and present, including Rey Mysterio, Dominik Mysterio, Dragon Lee, Penta and more.

The Three Count
