Nothing can prepare you for this
I came across this gallery on SI.com, showing some of the Mexican Pro Wrestlers. Now most of them look like your average Mexican luchador, but two of these characters gave my retina a good beating.
That's Monito. A midget wearing a green blue gorilla suit. Usually I would use the term "midget wearing a gorilla suit" for an attempt at humor, but here they actually pull it off. I mean really, your life is just not complete if you have never seen a midget wearing a green blue gorilla costume while wrestling. But yeah, it does look like one swift kick would knock that guy into next October....
And then there's Maximo. Nothing could've prepared me for seeing that picture. Absolutely nothing. I think for his finishing move he'll just annoy you to death or he'll take you shopping.
But yes, I don't know if I should feel sorry for him for wearing that outfit or if I should pile-drive him through concrete.
You really need to see the picture in its full view to "appreciate" it, but keep in mind that you will end up with a violent stomach ulcer...
Edit : I read somewhere that someone said that the costume looks more like blue, and I agree. I guess I was too distracted by the bright pink on that gentleman right there, to notice that the midget was wearing a certain shade of blue. My bad.

Wow! Can I say anything more? Ooh...they should make a Chuppa Cabra luchador..maybe a mini-one that could fight the gorilla in a death-match?
According to LuchaWiki, Maximo is actually married to India Sioux (the next picture in the gallery).
And LuchaVaVoom has a Chupacabra of their own. No mini though. :(
These are portraits from Malcom Venville's "Lucha Loco" journal. And you shouldn't feel sorry for any of them -- these guys are adored in Mexico and consider it a priviledge to play these characters.
They may be adored...but he's still wearing a pink ballerina outfit with a pink mohawk
