With over 50 million Hispanics living in the U.S. and a huge contingent of American wrestling fans itching for something to reinvigorate the sport, Lucha Libre USA’s live events are exploding in popularity. Powering the strong momentum for Lucha Libre in the U.S., the company has also introduced a specialized app available for iPhones called “Make Your Own Masked Warrior”, which lets fans create their very own personalized mask and pick an actual Lucha Libre USA Masked Warrior to go head-to-head with in the ring. And to further capitalize on the Luchastars’ popularity, LLUSA has created its own action figure toy line by Playmates, available in Wal-Mart, Toys ‘R' Us, Kmart and other mass merchant stores.
