The battles between lucha legends L.A. Park and Dr. Wagner Jr. have sold out Mexico City’s Arena Mexico on a multitude of occasions. Now one of lucha libre’s most famous rivalries reaches a new generation over Cinco De Mayo Weekend as the superstars team with their sons for an unforgettable GUERRA FAMILIAR (Family War) at Gas South Arena outside Atlanta, GA
and the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, NC
San Diego, CA - Masked Republic, the industry leader in expanding lucha libre beyond the borders of Mexico, UTA, leading global talent, entertainment, sports and advisory company, and Outback Presents, the leading independent full service promoter of live events in North America have teamed to bring two huge live lucha libre arena experiences to the United States over Cinco de Mayo weekend.
Headlined by two of the greatest and most popular luchadores of all time, L.A.
