Lucha Britannia is a Britishlucha libre-styleprofessional wrestling promotion based inBethnal Green, London since 2006.

History

[edit]

Lucha Britannia was created by Garry Vanderhorne in 2006 from Rock & Metal Wrestling Action (RAMWA), as an alternative form of physical theatre, music, cabaret, comedy and professional wrestling. In 2007, Lucha Britannia held the first of its six sell-out shows at Bethnal Green Working Men's Club. By November 2007 The promotion had outgrown the Working Men's Club and moved toSeOne, a largenightclub beneathLondon Bridge station. In December that year they were listed byTime Out in their (London) top fiveBest alternative nightlife of 2007.[1]

In the summer of 2008 Lucha Britannia featured on theBBC's coverage of the Reading and Leeds festivals and in October that year they co-hosted the inauguralBizarre Ball in conjunction withBizarre Magazine.[2] In 2009, Lucha Britannia became the first UK based wrestling promotion to feature on live British television in twenty-five years when they featured in their coverage of theBrit Awards after-party atEarls Court hosted byRufus Hound. Later that year they returned to co-produce and host the secondBizarre Ball again forBizarre Magazine.[3]

During 2011, Lucha Britannia put on seventeen events in London and around the UK. In 2016 the promotion increased to hosting semi-monthly shows calledLucha Underground at the Resistance Gallery in Bethnal Green, East London on Friday nights.

Events continued at the Resistance Gallery until 2020 when it briefly closed during theCOVID-19 pandemic. It triumphantly returned in April 2023 atVillage Underground inShoreditch where there are now regular shows.[citation needed]

Style

[edit]

Lucha Britannia combines theLucha Libre style of wrestling that is characterized by the wearing of colourful masks, rapid sequences of holds and maneuvers, tag-teams and "high-flying" with the traditional British technical style, North American and JapanesePuroresu wrestling format.Aside from wrestling, Lucha Britannia events also includerisquécabaret performances, comedic interludes and side acts.[4]

All the characters and performers in Lucha Britannia loosely fit into a fantastical narrative called the "RetroFutureVerse" wherein a fractious band of outlawed prize-fighters (known as the "United Resistance Movement") battle for justice and dignity against the dastardly representatives of tyrannical rulers (known either as "The State" or "TheYankeeBoche") in an ornately cruel, futuristicdystopia.[5]

The promotion runs regular monthly shows from the Village Underground – a venue in Shoreditch in London'sEast End. Lucha Britannia spawned the London School of Lucha Libre, Lucha Britannia's own professional-wrestling training academy,[6][7] as well as hosting a variety of other events.

Lucha Britannia has also been an attraction on television and at major UK festivals including theGlastonbury Festival,Download Festival,Reading Festival,Leeds Festival andThe Brit Awards.[8][9]

Regular events include immersive theatre with many elements of wrestling, comedy, and sinister cabaret in their shows.
