I was going to do one of those grand monologues where I write for fifteen minutes about the logical reasoning behind one of my projects, but then I figured I never like how those bits sound and no one wants to hear it, so I should just skip to the part where I show you what I did.
WHAT I DID:
At these links, I’ve got picto-rosters of AAA, CMLL, and IWRG. There’s also lists of champions at the main roster page, a list of people I don’t currently have a picture for, features I’m planing to add next, and some stuff for down the road.
As always, the fuel for these projects are my own time/interested and your feedback. Post a comment below, or e-mail with features you think need to be added.

Any of the pics on xoomer.virgilio have to be accessed from that url. It doesn’t work just copying and pasting the url
Sorry about this, I found a few others

Here’s a site with a shitload of pictures, just go down along the side and find the wrestler you’re looking for. They also have special sections for gimmick matches and promotions.

And after you go through those if anyone is left, I’ll start scanning. This project is totally worth it and gonna help a lot of people out.

(YAY for the IWRG champions page.)
I think I’ve mined most of the pictures out of Lucha Libre Mexicana, except there’s a good Histera picture (and a better Mascara Magica one.) I’ll go through when there’s not a game and hall of fame speech and a trade deadline on at the same time!
Need to add something designate pictures as being out of date/need to be replaced; that’ll be in the next update.
I clicked on Konnan and got Garza, funny if intentional. Great work pulling this all together Cubs.

Just glanced at the IWRG Titles page and you have Dr. Cerebro/Cerebro Negro backwards. Dr. is the unmasked one, Negro is the masked guy. Also, Cyborg is the IWRG IC Middleweight Champ. He beat Veneno and Black Dragon in that triangle match.

Cool, I was going to e-mail you to see if I was right. I figured I had a 50/50 chance with them.

A dedicated wrestling wiki would be awesome, and I would definitely devote time to keeping it up and running. Not to say that I would run it, but I would help. But just thinking of the potential bandwidth usage makes me cringe. How about we just get obsessedwithwrestling.com to do more in-depth lucha profiles instead?

They aren’t perfect but they’ll work if you want to use them.
I’ll try and get some decent grabs of few others you need.
I’ve got the 2004 Sports Mook; tomorrow or Tuesday I’ll go through and see if there’s any in there you haven’t got yet, and scan ’em in…
The entire lucha community coming together to help with this project… it’s beautiful.:)

I think I got the right Matrix, but I’m not sure.
Here’s one of Ringo Mendoza…

That’s definitely not the right Matrix. Dunno who you have up but the IWRG Matrix is masked, has facepaint around his mouth and wears a lot of green.

Great work. Since we don’t get any lucha down here in Orlando (except for the old stuff on Galavision), your website is a breath of fresh air for keeping up to date on the scene. Since I’ve been visiting your site, I’m not nearly as confused about the rosters as I used to be.
Spotted an error-
On the AAA page, you linked Mascarita Sagrada (2000) to the page on La Arena for the original Mascarita Sagrada.
Couple more additions:

YES! HATOR!
Wao! I love VERY much your new site. I also miss the LUCHA INSIDER site…
Being quite new to the Lucha scene (I just recently realized that CMLL shows are available as torrents), tecnico/tweener/rudo information about the CMLL wrestlers would be really useful. I do realize that some of them do change, but still…
Great work on the site all in all, muchos appreciated!
I’ll defintely be adding rudo/tecnico down the line.
