I am trying to gather inspiration for a Luchadaor PC (Exalted Modern), and I want to know everything about Lucha Libre. Finishing moves, famous masks, bitter rivalries, I hunger for sweet Mexican dish of masked wrestling (also for the semisweet dish of Japanese masked wrestling).

All I know about Lucha comes from three sources: Mucha Lucha, The Jackie Chan Adventures, and Tekken. Let us increase this knowledge.

The WWE rpg is d20 based. There's also The Squared Circle which i believe has a lucha supplement:
