In 1924 Vicente del Villar starts the construction of a lucha libre arena calling it Tivoli arena, this was the first specific place to house box and wrestling matches, during the next years new arenas were opened and the lucha libre business grew up rapidly. On September 19 of 1933 Salvador Lutteroth, owner of the Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre inaugurated the most representative house of lucha libre, the Arena Mexico also known as the Cathedral of the lucha libre a place to shelter more than eighteen thousand people, an authentic legendary place. In 1943 the Arena Coliseo was founded and is considered as the secnd most important lucha libre house after Arena Mexico. And as the years went on many other arenas were created at the same rate lucha libre was becoming more popular. Arenas represent more than a lucha libre place, they are cabalistic places, a yelling sanctuary, a witness of triumphs and defeats, whose walls impregnate of the energy released by the wrestlers and the crowd, of the nerves that the crowd feel from the wrestlers before going on the canvas, canvas that get impregnated of the gladiator’s pain and the spirit that fight, gives everything and dies up there. At the beginning wrestlers used a very simple clothing and their first name. As the years went on a more elaborated paraphernalia was being created turning lucha libre into a magic world, the battlename started the appearance of characters and the existence of two personalities that coexist in the same man. The men wrestle with a new identity, they face new personalities, the sportsman’s alter ego is unleashed and becomes reality with the adoption of a battlename, with which the public identifies the favorite hero.
