related people in CMLL

The last Dr. Lucha podcast (subscriber only) included a brief musing about how many wrestlers are related to other people in CMLL, sometime frequently talked about. Alfredo turned this to a challenge. I’ve actually done this bit before, but I wanted to have another Monday afternoon post. That’s how the magic trick works.

There are 131 luchadors who’ve had at least one match in Arena Coliseo or Arena Mexico in the last 90 days. Skandalo’s still waiting to get medical cleared after an eye injury but could be back at any point, so let’s call it 132. This is the breakdown

47 are unrelated to any known luchador
12 are related to known luchadors, but they’ve never been in CMLL
20 are related to known luchadors who have been in CMLL at one point, but are not working for the promotion at the moment
29 are related to known luchadors who are in CMLL right now who are unlikely to have influence on the product
24 are related to known luchadors who are in CMLL right now who could have some influence on the product

40.2%  (51) are related to someone else who works in CMLL.
55.3% (72) are related to someone who’s worked in CMLL at some point.
only 30% are unrelated to anyone.
