Okay, so relatively new Lucha fan here. Enjoyed Lucha Underground back in the day. Recently got into AAA because of the El Grande Americano storyline which now might be the most heartwarming storyline in the history and possibly my all time favourites. I like a lot of what they put out but I haven't really been into the major US promotions very much in recent years and aside from that fantastic storyline I came into AAA to get to know the AAA guys and not to be too negative there's a lot of WWE guys in it that i'm just not into.

I thought i'd give CMLL a try since I heard they have English commentary now on their versions on Triller. Any idea where to start? I always thought a Royal Rumble would be a good way for a fan to learn about WWE that's why I really liked going back to watch the Copa Bardahl a few weeks ago. Does CMLL have anything like that?

Also the first things that come up on Triller for CMLL are AEW and MLW crossover. For someone who wants to get into CMLL for CMLL how much is crossover the norm?

Maybe they will run it back soon for the cmll world heavyweight title?

For an English speaker, please. My Spanish is not that good.

Like many others I've started watching AAA recently due to the great feud between El Grande Americano and El Grande Americano Original. So I'm unfamiliar with how AAA was before WWE acquired it.

I've been wondering, what do most old fans of AAA feel of the show know that WWE has taken over? What changed? Has anything changed with the women division?

Also do you feel like WWE sending some wrestlers like Damian Priest, War Raiders or Osmos is changing the nature of AAA?

Really feels like it’s the time for CMLL to cement those two guys at the top of the main event scene.

Siento que el hexadrilátero es un concepto muy interesante en la lucha libre, y Triple A desarrolló una parte importante de su historia utilizándolo. ¿Será que se considere traerlo de regreso en algún momento?

Is the Tope con Giro (Hilo in Japanese) a suicide dive or a swanton bomb to the outside?

In the US, when a wrestler does some crazy high flying and dangerous spot, the crowd will chant "holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

What do lucha fans in Mexico/Latin America chant in this scenario?

He regresado de un viaje a México, donde claramente aproveché para ver varias funciones de lucha libre (CMLL y amateur), lo cual honestamente reencendió ese fanatismo por las luchas de pequeño y las máscaras de luchador. Al salir de cada función veía todos estos puestos de venta de máscaras y, como un niño pequeño, quería comprar las de mis luchadores favoritos y de sus combates más importantes, algo que por mi inexperiencia no sabía cómo buscar en internet para darle una idea al revendedor. Es por eso que se me ocurrió una idea de proyecto: una enciclopedia/wiki acerca de las máscaras de los luchadores, donde los usuarios puedan buscar la máscara de su luchador favorito, en qué función se usó, qué eventos importantes tuvo, quiénes la han usado, etc., conteniendo información y enlaces a videos oficiales de dónde se usó. Algo muy basado en las revistas conocidas como "Enciclopedia de Máscaras" de 2007.

Además, como se sabe que máscaras hay demasiadas, el proyecto sería basado en comunidad, donde las personas podrían enviar su aporte y un grupo selecto de expertos revisaría el contenido antes de hacerlo completamente público. Cabe aclarar que esto NO sería una tienda de máscaras, sino un sitio informativo sin ánimo de lucro.

Antes de darle luz verde al proyecto, me gustaría preguntarle a la comunidad:

• ¿Ustedes usarían este sitio?
• ¿Ya hay una plataforma que haga esto?
• Lo más importante: ¿qué derechos de autor debería tener en cuenta antes de llevar a cabo el proyecto? ¿Podría meterme en problemas aunque esto no tenga ningún ánimo de lucro?

I just got back from a trip to Mexico, where I obviously took the chance to see several lucha libre shows (CMLL and amateur), which honestly reignited the love I had for wrestling and luchador masks as a kid. On my way out of each show I'd see all these stands selling masks and, like a little kid, I wanted to buy the ones of my favorite wrestlers and from their most important matches, something that because of my inexperience I didn't know how to look up online to give the seller an idea of what I meant. That's how I came up with a project idea: an encyclopedia/wiki about luchador masks, where users could look up their favorite wrestler's mask, what show it was used at, what important events it was part of, who has worn it, and so on, including information and links to official videos of where it was used. Something heavily based on the magazines known as "Enciclopedia de Máscaras" from 2007.

On top of that, since there are way too many masks out there, the project would be community-based, where people could submit their contributions and a select group of experts would review the content before making it fully public. To be clear, this would NOT be a mask shop, but a non-profit informational site.

Before I give the project the green light, I'd like to ask the community:

• Would you use this site?
• Is there already a platform that does this?
• Most importantly: what copyright issues should I keep in mind before carrying out the project? Could I get into trouble even though this isn't for profit?
