Section 2: Equipment
- Mask (máscara): central identity element; many luchadores wear masks throughout career — losing a mask in a luchas de apuestas (bet match) is a major career event
- Tights/boots: traditional luchador attire — colorful tights, knee-high boots, ornamental cape (for entrance only)
- Hair: for unmasked wrestlers, hair becomes the "wager" — lucha de cabellera matches risk hair-shaving
- Mouthguard recommended; protective gear minimal (no shin guards, no helmets)
- Athletic tape on wrists + joints common
