Exótico
In lucha libre, an ''exótico'' is a ''luchador'' (male wrestler) fighting/performing in drag. The exótico’s movement vocabulary is campy, often silly, and seldom dignified.〔Levi, Heather. The World of Lucha Libre: Secrets, Revelations, and Mexican National Identity. Durham: Duke UP, 2008. Print.〕 Exóticos are male wrestlers who appropriate feminine aspects in their wrestling personas – through feminine costumes, for example, ‘contesting the dramatic representation of machismo’ and successfully unmanning their opponents in the ring while also ‘rejecting the outward signs of manhood’.〔Cervantes, Susana Vargas. "Performing Mexicanidad: Criminality and Lucha Libre." Crime Media Culture An International Journal (2010): 187-203. SAGE Journals. Web. 6 June 2012.〕 Though ''Exoticos'' may not necessarily be gay, they often are, and their sexual ambiguity is undeniable. Attired with feather boas, headdresses, sequins or stockings, they defy a religious Latin culture that is ardently macho.〔Berry, Mark. "Lucha Libre." Gay Times (09506101) 359 (2008): 56-59. LGBT Life. Web. 29 May 2012.〕
==Meaning==
Lucha libre (Hispanic freestyle wrestling) is a blend of art and sport that involves various fighting techniques such as Judo, Jujitsu, grappling and kickboxing.〔 It’s a world of masked ''luchadores'' (enmascarados), flying midgets and flamboyant costuming, one filled with acrobatics and athleticism, all mixed with drama, pageantry and a physical comedy that is uniquely Latino origin.〔 Everything that a ''luchador'' says, does, and wears is essential to their character and their performance. There are different kind of ''luchadores'' who represent good and evil, ''technico'' or ''rudo''/heel, and queers. ''Lucha Libre'' is a space in which the macho-maricon (heterosexual-homosexual continuum is represented not only in the relative positioning of men competing over who is "more" macho but also by men who have abdicated their masculinity.〔
Many gay wrestlers show in their performances that they may identify as a female, but can be just as strong as a male, and can deliver a great performance just like any other male wrestler. ''Lucha libre'' is a performance that is open to multiple readings on axis of representation by two men.〔 Many ''Lucha Libre'' matches cannot be described as a struggle between two men, because not all wrestlers are male, and not all male wrestlers are unambiguously men.〔 A lucha libre match between two men represents a rudo and a technico (evil and good), in which most ''exoticos'' end up being rudos.〔 This does not apply to all ''exoticos'', but the audience usually responds to them being a rudo.〔
