Los Hijos Del Espanto
''Los Hijos del Espanto'' (Spanish for "the Sons of Espanto") is a Mexican professional wrestling tag team who has primarily worked as a ''rudo'' (term used for wrestlers who portray the "Bad guys") team consisting of El Hijo del Espanto I and El Hijo del Espanto II. While their names indicate that they are supposedly sons of one of '' Los Espantos'', they are not related to either Espanto I, Espanto II or Espanto III but were instead given the rights to use the names by Espanto II. ''Los Hijos del Espanto'' are brothers, with Hijo del Espanto II being the older brother, but since the younger brother started to use the name first the older brother was designated as "Hijo del Espanto II". Their birth names are not a matter of public record as they are both '' enmascarados'', or masked wrestlers, and in ''lucha libre'' the identities of masked wrestlers are kept secret unless unmasked.

Lucha De Apuestas
''Lucha libre'' (, meaning "freestyle wrestling" or literally translated as "free fight") is the term for the style of professional wrestling originating in Mexico. Since its introduction to Mexico in the early 20th century, it has developed into a unique form of the genre, characterized by colorful masks, rapid sequences of holds and maneuvers, and "high-flying" aerial techniques, some of which have been adopted by wrestlers in the United States, Japan, and elsewhere. The wearing of masks has developed special significance, and matches are sometimes contested in which the loser must permanently remove his mask, which is a wager with a high degree of weight attached. Tag team wrestling is especially prevalent in ''lucha libre'', particularly matches with three-member teams, called ''trios''. Although in English the term specifically refers to the Mexican style of theatrical professional wrestling, in Mexico (and certain other Spanish-speaking territories) it can refer to ot ...
