Profile of Mexican wrestler who "competes" in drag.
Once a bad boy, Cassandro has become respectable. He gives talks on
diversity at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City, and at the National
Autonomous University there. Lucha libre seems to have seized the
imaginations of many Europeans. Cassandro teaches classes in England and
France. Pussy Riot has claimed lucha libre as the inspiration for the
masks its members wear into cultural battle. In 2009, Cassandro and Hijo
del Santo wrestled for two consecutive evenings at the Louvre. Cassandro
won his current world welterweight title in a match in London, in 2011.
He’s been a guest on “BBC Breakfast.” His only complaint about the
British is that they insist on calling him a transvestite. He is a drag
queen.
