Today is Cinco de Mayo, and while many are celebrating with margaritas and traditional Mexican food, I'm celebrating with one of my favorite pastimes...pro wrestling.

Pro wrestling is a big deal in Mexico, and it has been for generations. Lucha Libre wrestling takes the traditional pro wrestling, and adds a ton of colorful flare. Nearly every wrestling in Lucha Libre features a colorful mask. Which brings me to my favorite Luchador, Rey Mysterio.

Mysterio is a legend in ECW, WCW, and WWF/WWE. He's a former World Champion, and one of the most recognizable pro wrestlers in the world. Most of what makes him recognizable are his trademark masks. So today, in honor of Cinco de Mayo, we're going to look at some of those awesome masks.
