Park and his sons vs. Pirata Morgan and his sons and a LEGENDS OF LUCHA LIBRE WORLD TITLE match as Champion Tinieblas Jr. defends his gold.  

November 6, 2025 - San Diego, CA

Masked Republic, the industry leader in expanding lucha libre beyond the borders of Mexico and UTA, leading global talent, entertainment, sports and advisory company, are launching MaskedMania’s 2026 U.S. tour with 4 stacked live events coming to Laredo Texas on Saturday, January 24 at the Sames Auto Arena, San Antonio, Texas on Sunday, January 25 at the Boeing Center at Tech Port, Loveland, Colorado on Saturday January 31 at the Blue Arena and Denver, Colorado on Sunday, February 1 at the Mission Ballroom.  Tickets for all four tour kick off events will go on sale Friday, November 7th with a pre-sale for VIP packages available starting at 10 AM local time and general on-sale at 12 Noon local time. Tickets for all four events are available from the venue’s website and MaskedMania.com

Each event will feature a DOUBLE MAIN EVENT.  In Main Event #1 - One of the most intense lucha libre feuds of the 1990s is reignited for a new generation as L.A. Park (the original La Parka) and his arch rival Pirata Morgan head into battle once more, this time each of them teaming with their sons in an all-out GUERRA FAMILIAR (Family War).  

In Main Event #2, Legends of Lucha Libre World Champion Tinieblas Jr. defends his title against challenger Sam Adonis - a wily rulebreaking American who has held gold around the globe including the Lucha Libre AAA Trios Championships and who beat the legendary Blue Panther in a hair vs. hair match at Arena Mexico.  Now he looks to take out another lucha legend in Tinieblas Jr. who, as always, will have his trusty Mayan elf Alushe by his side. 

MaskedMania events are fun for the whole family and one of the best values in live sports entertainment today.  Doors open 90 minutes before the first match begins and all ticket holders can participate in a free meet and greet with many of the events’ stars.  Additional VIP experiences are available including a private meet & greet and limited edition event poster signing with select stars and a photo opportunity on the entrance stage.  

Each night of the 2026 Tour Kick Off events will be hosted by the legendary Vampiro (CMLL, AAA, WCW, NWA) and joining the tour for the very first time will be Hijo de Rey Misterio, the son of the late Rey Misterio, Sr. one of Tijuana’s most beloved luchadores and trainer of many of the biggest name lucha stars on the planet including his nephew, multi-time WWE World Champion Rey Mysterio, Konnan and Psychosis.  Also joining the tour for the first time will be one of the most in-demand luchadoras today, La Gatubela.  This second generation lucha star has held championship gold on 5 occasions including a run as Lucha Libre AAA’s Reina de Reina champion.  

One of the most successful mini luchadores of all time, former CMLL World Mini-Estrella Champion Demus returns to the MaskedMania ring (where highlights of his last performance went viral on social media) and he is challenging ANY luchador, mini or otherwise, to face him!  

Plus MaskedMania introduces fans throughout the U.S. to stars of lucha libre’s new generation of superstars like tag team champions “Lucha Solos” Ultimo Maltido & Arkangel Divino (as featured on the VICE TV series The Wrestlers “The Next Wave of Mexican Luchadores” episode), their arch rivals “Lucha Kingz” El Rey & Bamboo, Tigre W, Super Galactico and more!

“We are thrilled to once again be bringing authentic lucha libre Mexicana throughout the U.S.” Ruben Zamora, founder and CEO of Masked Republic said. “MaskedMania events are dedicated to being both an incredible family experience to long-time fans of the sport and an excellent opportunity for those who have never attended a lucha libre event to get the same experience one would get in Mexico only much closer to home.  From star studded trios to tag team matches, championship bouts and our own tour exclusive Copa de MaskedMania special attraction bouts and our pre-show meet and greet included with every ticket, MaskedMania events are the best value in pro wrestling today.”

July 16, 2024 - San Diego, CA

For nearly 100 years, the sport-cultural performance hybrid has been delighting fans in Mexico.  In the mid-1990s, luchadores like Rey Mysterio, Psychosis, LA PARK, Juventud Guerrera and Konnan became part of mainstream pro wrestling ushering in a new era where lucha libre moves and style were integrated globally.  While events featuring luchadores and lucha matches take place in small venues throughout the U.S. nearly every weekend, attending an authentic “Mexico arena event experience” has not been available to fans in the U.S. in decades.

Masked Republic, the industry leader in expanding lucha libre beyond the borders of Mexico has been producing live event experiences for more than a decade now.  From 9 sold-out Viva La Lucha™ events in a row at Southern California’s Agua Caliente Casino to Expo Lucha® conventions in Las Vegas, San Diego and Philadelphia, the company is always looking for ways to get fans more up close and personal with the biggest name icons and fastest rising stars of the sport.  Now, when MaskedMania lands in Edinburg, TX this September, the company will bring it’s “more than just matches” style of must-attend event to an arena for the very first time.

“One of our goals at Masked Republic has been to bring the most authentic lucha libre 

experience to fans outside of Mexico,” Masked Republic founder & CEO Ruben Zamora said, “This means more than just matches.  We want to bring all the sounds, sights, and smells.  The excitement doesn't start when the bell rings for the first match - it begins when you first arrive at the venue.  Music is playing, vendors are hawking masks, t-shirts and favorite treats.  The same superstar luchadores you see on TV are accessible to you and your family as you walk up and purchase a mask directly from them.  That is what an authentic lucha libre Mexicana experience is all about!”  

Saturday, September 7th at the Bert Ogden Arena in Edinburg, Texas.  The experience will be headlined by a double main event.  It’s an all-out “Guerra Familiar” Family War trios match as L.A. PARK and his sons L.A. PARK JR. and Hijo de L.A. Park battle his legendary archrival Pirata Morgan and his sons Pirata Morgan Jr. and Hijo del Pirata Morgan!  And in main event number 2, Legends of Lucha Libre World Champion Tinieblas Jr. with Alushe in his corner will defend the title against DMT Azul who has had 8 championship reigns of his own in CMLL.  Plus, legendary mini luchador Mascarita Dorada (formerly El Torito in WWE), WWE & WCW lucha star Juventud Guerrera, Lince Dorado, Keyra, Sussy Love, Oni Bendito, Demus, Torito Negro, Ultimo Maltido, Arkangel Divino and more! 

Tickets go on sale to the public this Friday, July 19, with pre-sale for Bert Ogden Arena VIPs starting Wednesday July 17.  (Presale codes will be listed on the Bert Ogden Arena social media accounts.)  All tickets include admission 90 minutes before the first match to experience more of what a lucha libre event in Mexico City is all about!  Additional VIP experience packages are available.  

“Bert Ogden Arena is honored to have been chosen by Masked Republic & UTA to present the inaugural MaskedMania event.” Hondo Candelaria, arena President said.  “As South Texas’ ‘newest and largest arena we are privileged to be trusted by MaskedMania to host these talented lucha libre performers in our building. In every event we strive to ensure a flawless guest experience both in front and back-of-house. Our border community is excited to witness the greatness that is a true Lucha Libre experience.”
