¡Lucha Libre! Bronx Wrestlers Punch, Body-Slam for Glory At The Bronx Wrestling Federation

From The Wall Street Journal:

On the second floor of a warehouse in the Bronx’s Soundview neighborhood, men in costumes head-butt, clothes-line, and body-slam each other to the roars and jeers of more than 100 fans.

By day, the men are construction workers and restaurant managers—but by night, they turn into the Caveman and the Big Heavy, all taking part in the monthly spectacle organized by the Bronx Wrestling Federation, or BWF.
