Sadly some of the wrestlers are retired or no longer with us. It's one of the reasons I love the posters that I collected. They are a snapshot of an era.

Freeze frame, my poster collection, part 2…
I love pro wrestling, specifically lucha libre. Did you know that the oldest promotion in North America belongs to the CMLL out of Mexico? It's over 90-years-old, and still going strong. A few years ago they signed a deal with Warner Bros to produce merchandise, soft goods, toys, stickers, and posters.
I managed to get my hands on a few things, including these sweet posters by Francisco "Paco" Herrera. His style would work great on a cartoon show don't you think?
