While narcocultura — the trappings and legends of dope-smuggling, gun-toting millionaire hillbillies — has penetrated every other element of Mexican pop culture, from movies and music to TV and religion, Mexican professional wrestling, known as lucha libre, has remained untouched. According to Temple anthropologist Heather Levi, author of The World of Lucha Libre, Mexican wrestling does offer a window into the country's soul but not as a direct social commentary on the daily news. "Lucha libre is the joke that everyone gets and agrees not to mention," she said. "It is a subtle parody of the system as a whole — the masks, the secrecy, double-crossing, official corruption, as represented by the referees."
