Top 10 Best Mexican Pro Wrestlers of All Time

Mexican pro wrestling completely flips the script on standard ground-and-pound grappling. You get masked heroes and despised villains trading bone-crushing suplexes with acrobatic aerial assaults. This is lucha libre, and it takes a uniquely insane breed of athlete to pull off these death-defying stunts week after week.

Picture yourself trying to execute a springboard moonsault off the top turnbuckle while wearing a tight spandex mask over your face. That demands more than just basic gym skills. It requires absolute, unadulterated fearlessness. You know that in this specific squared circle, a luchador's mask is their literal soul.

Industry experts constantly praise these competitors for completely rewiring the global wrestling scene. They introduced technical wizardry and lightning-fast hurricanranas to crowds who previously thought a basic clothesline was the peak of athletic entertainment. You can easily spot their stylistic fingerprints all over every modern match you watch today.

The Top Ten

  1. Blue Demon

    Alejandro Muñoz Moreno, better known as Blue Demon, was a Mexican masked wrestler, or luchador enmascarado. He was considered one of the greatest wrestlers of his era. Blue Demon often teamed up with or faced El Santo in both wrestling and film.

  2. El Solitario

    Better than El Santo, and he has the best mule kick ever.

  3. Eddie Guerrero

    Eduardo Gory "Eddie" Guerrero Llanes was a Mexican-American professional wrestler and a member of the Guerrero wrestling family. He was widely celebrated for his charisma, in-ring skill, and high-profile matches in WWE. Guerrero became WWE Champion in 2004 and was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall... read more

  5. El Santo

    El Santo, born Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta, was a Mexican professional wrestler and actor. He became a cultural icon in Mexico due to his masked superhero persona in the ring and in 53 movies. His silver mask remains a symbol of Mexican pop culture and lucha libre.

    He basically made Mexican wrestling grow. He's the reason every single one of these Mexican wrestlers is here.

    He is the reason why all the rest are on the list.

    He put Mexican wrestling on the map!

  6. Rey Mysterio

    Óscar Gutiérrez, better known by the ring name Rey Mysterio, is a Mexican-American professional wrestler who currently works for WWE on the SmackDown brand.

    I've seen quite a bit of professional wrestling, and I've concluded that Óscar has a talent that matches or even surpasses that of Eddie Guerrero. Blue Demon and El Santo are indeed icons among Spanish wrestlers, but I have yet to see anyone who matches the flair and skill of the Mystery King.

    His 619 is awesome, and we're both Mexican, so he's the best for me.

    Childhood favorite, and that hasn't changed with time.
