Authentic Lucha Libre Mexicana is Coming to Reading

From Santander Arena and Performing Arts Center

Masked Republic, the industry leader in expanding lucha libre beyond the borders of Mexico and UTA, a leading global talent, entertainment, sports, and advisory company, is bringing their authentic Lucha Libre Mexicana tour, MaskedMania, to Reading, PA, on Saturday, Oct. 3, at the Santander Arena.

VIP presale for this event will go on sale Wednesday, June 17, starting at 10 a.m. local time, with general on-sale on Friday, June 19, at noon local time. Tickets for all events are available from the venues’ websites and MaskedMania.com.

Among the lucha libre superstars in Reading will be AAA & WCW legends Psychosis and Juventud Guerrera reunited for the first time in nearly a decade with their WWE teammate, ECW legend Super Crazy! The entire night will be hosted by CMLL, AAA & WCW legend Vampiro, and every ticket includes a free two-hour Fan Fest meet-and-greet! This gives fans the chance to get up close and personal with the luchadores, making a ticket to MaskedMania the best fan and family value in arena pro wrestling in the U.S. today.

Also returning to Pennsylvania for the first time this decade is Jack Evans, who rose to fame in the tri-state area for Ring of Honor before joining Lucha Libre AAA, where he went on to hold multiple championships. And Jack is not coming alone as his alter-ego Blitzkreig II has challengers coming out of the woodwork since returning to the ring this past Saturday when MaskedMania hit Bangor, Maine. And in the first officially announced bout, one of Mexico’s hottest tag teams, Toxin and Latigo, will take on two of Pennsylvania’s home-grown legends of the lucha style, Hallowicked and Frightmare, with Ultramantis Black – The Spectral Envoy!

Plus, luchadora sensation Ludark, more legends will be announced, and matches you will only see on a MaskedMania event!

“The response to bringing our events that represent an authentic Mexico lucha libre experience throughout the U.S. has been tremendous,” Ruben Zamora, founder and CEO of Masked Republic, said. “Pennsylvania has always been an incredible place for wrestling, and the fanbase has long loved the lucha libre style. Now we are very excited to bring fans in Reading the most authentic night of lucha libre the city has ever seen!  MaskedMania events are dedicated to being both an incredible family experience to long-time fans of the sport and an excellent opportunity for those who have never attended a lucha libre event to get the same experience one would get in Mexico, only much closer to home. From star-studded trios to tag team matches, championship bouts, and our own tour-exclusive Copa de MaskedMania special attraction match, and our pre-show meet and greet included with every ticket, MaskedMania events are the best value in pro wrestling today.”

Ticket links and additional information are available at MaskedMania.com. MaskedMania is represented for bookings by Joe Wohlfeld of UTA.
