“We realized that in Los Angeles you couldn’t walk three blocks without running into something, anywhere, that references Mexican Lucha Libre. Food, clothes, murals, everything, it’s something that truly brings people together. It’s who we are so we wanted to properly share this with as many people as possible” said Penta 0M about how the project came about.

His real life brother and co-owner “Rey Fenix” agrees: “It’s about joining forces with all our friends and colleagues and do something special that’s never been done before.
