Sometimes wrestling reminds you exactly why you fell in love with it.
This week, we're taking a detour from our Attitude Era journey to talk about one of the most unique and emotional matches we've seen in a long time: El Grande Americano vs El Grande Americano in a Mask vs Mask Match.
On paper, none of this should work.
A stolen identity. Two wrestlers playing the same character. A feud split between two countries. A crowd that sees one man as a hero and the other as an imposter.
And somehow...
It's incredible.
We break down:
- Why this story became so beloved in Mexico
- The brilliance of the El Grande Americano character
- How WWE and AAA created something genuinely special
- The incredible atmosphere surrounding the match
- And why this may be one of the best examples of what professional wrestling can be when everything clicks
From the entrances to the storytelling to the emotional post-match unmasking, this wasn't just a great match.
It was a reminder that wrestling can still surprise us.
If you've ever struggled to explain why you love wrestling to someone else, this might be the match you show them.

SPEAKER_00Hello, everyone, and welcome to another edition of the New To Wrestling Podcast. This is a going to be a very special uh, I guess, mini. We're we're gonna strive for mini, but it's the two of us, so we'll see. Um, mini episode. Um, we are covering the mask versus mask match that just happened. Um it is June 2nd as we are recording. So just happened this past weekend, um, during uh triple A's big Noche de las Grandes. Very exciting. It was so good. So this match, um, for those of you who have been living under a rock and haven't heard about it, um, is between the original Grande Americano and the second Grande Americano. And um, Kelsey doesn't really know too much of the like the backstory of this. She kind of got like um caught up, everybody gets caught up to speed in the video package. Um, but for those of you who don't know, um they debuted this uh like kind of like controversial Grande Americano character um a while ago, right? Um, and basically it is that like Chad Gable um was basically getting bested by luchadores like week over week. Um, so in order to um kind of like get his uh like comeuppance, he had to go on this like journey um to Mexico and like um it's kind of very kill bill, like right, if the bride was evil the whole time, like you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01Not that Chucky was evil, but you know what I mean. It was like a different kind of vengeance.
SPEAKER_00Um so he has you know to learn from all of these like great luchadores, and um one of those like great luchadores um is El Grande Americano, this like it's supposedly like hundred-year-old like wrestling like lucha legend, um, like having conquered all of like Mexico, like blah he just you know, tall tales, um for all to high heaven. Um, but so the we're we're we're riding that character. We're like, okay, um, we all know it's Chad Gable, but we like don't know it's Chad Gable. Um, and we're like along for the ride, okay, cool. Um he gets injured, taken out, um uh like not like literally taken out, but like he is taken out of uh commission. He's out of wrestling for a significant amount of time, like eight months, six to eight months. Um, so instead of just having the character be like null um because it had started catching on a little bit of momentum, um, they replaced him with another wrestler who was kind of sitting on the sidelines, that being Ludwig Kaiser. So Ludwig Kaiser wasn't really doing much, takes over the role, um, and just has a different like flamboyance about him. Obviously, there's the like immediate difference in that like they're like a foot apart and they have completely different body types and all of that jazz.
SPEAKER_01Um completely in terms of physical body, diametrically opposed in every single way.
SPEAKER_00And this is why this is like I love this match so much because this is everything that makes professional wrestling professional wrestling. Um, because we as the professional wrestling audience now have to suspend the disbelief that, like, oh, like this is the same guy. Like, we're just like, okay, cool, right? Like, um, and you know, like we're like, it's not obvious. We're not we're not big stupid, so we're like, we know it's not, but we go, okay, sure, let's see where this goes. And what ends up happening is over the course of like these eight months, um, like triple A is becoming a like a bigger part of the WWE staple. Um, so he starts going down there, um, and uh he starts winning over the Mexican crowd because not only um is he like a fantastic wrestler, we learned he can speak Spanish, like he and fluently, and it's crazy, it's crazy, crazy, crazy. It's like this German guy like that speaks Spanish, that is playing a character that was originally played by somebody else, and it's just it for some reason is working, and especially in Mexico is working, it they embrace him, they embrace him like one of their own. He is speaking like them, he is acting like them, he is being a representative of them. Um, and it's just crazy because all the while we're doing this like weird, like Bret Hart-esque thing, where in America their roles are reversed. So um, El Grande Americano, the one that's beloved in Mexico, is the bad guy in America, while the original is is the good guy because he gets to cry that he got his identity stolen and it's this guy who did it. So we have that side of the story being played out in America, while we have this other side of the story where it's like it doesn't matter that you were the original in the spirit of like lucha libre, like that's our El Ronde Americano, like that's the one we picked. Um it's so good, it's such a like it's such a ridiculous feud, and it's so much to explain. And on paper, none of this should work whatsoever. This should be dead in the water, dead in the water. It makes no sense why it's so good, right? And and we get to this point, and we're we're we are somehow on in Mexico in the main event of a like a like big pay-per-view-esque event, um is a a traditional like a traditionally Mexican mask versus mask match happening, and it's uh being held. It's you know, it's being respected as it is, like as a mask versus mask match, like they're being propped up to give it the respect that it always does. But it's two white guys, and we know the identity of both people under the mask before we even get into the match, so it's not like the typical hype around a mask versus mask match where you are genuinely uncovering one of these people, yet somehow it does not matter, none of it matters, like it just is it's a such a this is when wrestling is so beautiful. Like, I don't know how to describe it, but it's so beautiful.
SPEAKER_01I will say, luckily for me, I didn't know you were there because I don't know either of those people. So for me, it was as unreal as it gets. But I okay, I'm so glad you told me all of this because I when we were watching, like obviously the video package gave me some insight into what the beef was, but at the same time, when you're listening to it knowing nothing else, I was like, I mean, I could see why he's the original is mad. Like I can absolutely see why he's upset, like that makes complete sense to me. So I'm very confused as to why the entirety of Mexico is like wrapped around El Grande Americano's finger. Like, I I was like, I just I kind of don't get it. Like I love it, and obviously I love him. He has a um an Orville Peck mask swag to him. Like it there's some that same flavor where it's like it's so charismatic, and you this essence that you can't really explain.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's it's so good. It's it's it's an intangible and it just it works. It for some reason they love him. Um I love it, but they give um some more some more insight for you. So like during these like feuds, um uh so the original El Grande Americano when he was Chad Gable um had uh the Creed brothers, Julius and Brutus, um, aka Julio and Bruno. Um so that's where they come into play. And then um, and then El Grande Americano, like Poor Mexico, like um has um Ryo and Bravo are his little his little goons. Um and basic and and it's it's crazy, and for some reason it it all worked, it was amazing.
SPEAKER_01Wow, it's almost like a fun house mirror, but like so fabulous, and I get to watch it from outside.
SPEAKER_00Absolutely, absolutely. Um, so this is amazing. This is my third time watching it because not only did I watch it the first time, um, I made my roommates watch it because I was like, this is absolutely insane. And then I literally sent a text message to Kelsey because it was like, I'm crying. I they I am I am emotional right now. Um because it was just like overwhelming how like this is what wrestling is when it works, like when every bit of wrestling is working, like this is what it feels like, and you're like, damn.
SPEAKER_01This is a really, really great. I'm gonna I have to keep this in the memory bank, not that I could forget this this match, but like because this is a really great example to a s of a story you could give to someone to explain like the beauty of professional wrestling, like yeah, it has a little bit of everything, yeah, especially the territories thing, like be he's so over in Mexico, and then he's a heel in the US. That is beautiful. You can you can't buy that kind of shit, you really can't.
SPEAKER_00No, no, no, no, no, not even a little bit.
SPEAKER_01And the the entrance really gave I was saying, I was like, it's giving me the same feelings of Bad Bunny in Puerto Rico, like but you're just like overwhelming, like you're like in the arena, even though you're not, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh, okay. So let's uh let's um before we get too ahead uh uh into the entrances, the video package is essentially like a comic book-esque storytelling of this whole saga.
SPEAKER_01It's amazing, incredible. Um, it was so beautifully done. The artwork, the storytelling, the the narration between English and Spanish, so great, and what a great concept. Because it's just comic book shit, it's like Superman fighting evil Superman, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Naga. Um, it's so good. Um, but uh we get um that whole saga, the like the way Mexico embraced um El Grande Americano, just like it's so good. We find out Rey Mysterio is the um general manager of AAA now, which is obviously great choice. Love to see it. So he's in the ring um for these entrances. We get the OG's entrance. It starts with like a band, and like the crowds like going nuts because who doesn't love the band? Love to see it.
SPEAKER_01Love the mariachi band.
SPEAKER_00Um, they come out, they realize who the entrance is for, and they turn immediately. Turn it, it is so loud, it is so raucous. Um, it's beautiful. He comes out to just the loudest booze you can imagine. The culero chance starts immediately, immediately, immediately, and does not stop the whole match, basically. Um, has like a tug of war with a mask with one of the fans in the crowd, really like gets his heat to the ring. I was like, Yeah, he really went for it too.
SPEAKER_01He went for it. Um, and I I will say he was booed so badly that I felt bad for him. Like, I was like, ooh, this is actually kind of hard.
SPEAKER_00But that's what they want, you know what I mean? I mean, he's probably living his best life. Um, and then obviously, next is uh El Grande Americano's entrance, and it's just so palpably like oh, I there's the energy is just unreal. Um, they the band comes out again, they're wearing masks this time.
SPEAKER_01Love love to see it, and they went from black to white, the fifth.
SPEAKER_00We love a quick change.
SPEAKER_01A quick change, beautiful.
SPEAKER_00Um, they're having mic issues, doesn't matter. Crowd takes over for them. Yep, crowd takes right over for them. Like this is Mean Girls, and they're doing their little Christmas number.
SPEAKER_01What a right time, it's the bright time or whatever.
SPEAKER_00Right. Um, they took over. It was it was beautiful. Um and then like he's just so cool, like he's just got a swagger to him that I cannot describe. Yeah, like he's wearing a black little cowboy hat. He's got like the the denim that like I don't even know what that is. How do you even describe that?
SPEAKER_01It's like leather sweet fringe, love so good. It just says Puerto Mexico on the back, and you're just like that's beautiful, and I love that it fell off, and one of the members of the Mariachi band put it back on his head like at the perfect time. Like, again, you can't write it, it's cinema, it's so beautiful, and it's just it's so good.
SPEAKER_00His like interactions with the crowd get you so hype. I that's when I like lost it.
SPEAKER_01When he did the forehead touch to that one guy, and they were like, Girl, I lost it.
SPEAKER_00I was like, This they love him, and it's like how uh how crazy is it that they have been looking for the next Rey Mysterio since Rey Mysterio, and it is this white German guy, it's Ludwig, like Ludwig Kaiser. Got it, got it, and the thing that's like so crazy. Did you hear about all the drama with him before this match even like got down? Like, did you even hear about this?
SPEAKER_01No, because I was too busy looking at his really hot girlfriend. I was instagram stalking whole life.
SPEAKER_00Well, then you're gonna love this story even more because I know how you love to um you love when a man like really stands up for his girl. Um so apparently, so who doesn't?
SPEAKER_01If you don't like that shit, get out, leave right now. I'm sorry, because that makes no sense. Um ride for your boo or get out.
SPEAKER_00Anyway. Um, so he got arrested not days prior to this event happening. So apparently they were like out, him and his girl were like out, like having a night out. Um, and they went back to the apartment building that like they live in. Um, and they were apparently like, I guess, canoodling kissing in the elevator, and someone in the elevator basically told them to like get a room, or is the way that like he described it to the police. I highly doubt it was as um PG as get a room. Um, but that prompted an altercation between Kaiser and this guy, and he beat the shit out of him because he was like, You're not gonna tell me that I can't kiss my woman in my own apartment, complain. Like all this stuff. So he gets like arrested, and like, guess who bails him out? His bestie, Gunther. Crazy. No, girl, girl, and so mind you, this is like days, days prior to all of this like this match happening.
SPEAKER_01So like it's just like an assault and battery charge a few days before this.
SPEAKER_00Yes, girl.
SPEAKER_01Gunther bailed him out, yes, girl. You can't, what are you talking about?
SPEAKER_00It's so crazy, so crazy. I I wanna I really want to know what that man said to them because I it's giving Beyonce Jay-Z and Solange. No, literally, but it's it people are very much like that. Is not who this man is.
SPEAKER_01Um there's no way, so he must have said some up shit, some some fuck shit. Yeah, there's no way. I barely know him. I'm like, there's no way he would do this.
SPEAKER_00No, literally, no, but people who do know him is so like I don't know if that sounds like him.
SPEAKER_01You don't have a girl that bad if you are not a good man. I'm so sorry. Or at least not for long. You gl you you grace that there's no way, no, there's no way.
SPEAKER_00Uh no. Um, uh, but let's get into this match because it's amazing. Um beautiful. Um, we get into like the introductions. God bless like Bray Mysterio just for being there. Like, beautiful. Thank you so much. Um, this match starts when the OG Grande Americano grabs a guitar from the band and smacks uh El Grande Americano.
SPEAKER_01I hadn't even put my headphones back on. I was literally like, we had said something, and then I was like, wow, and then I was like, oh yeah, it was and I heard it before I even had my headphones on my ears. Crazy.
SPEAKER_00It was bombing.
SPEAKER_01I love that they filled them with powder, right?
SPEAKER_00It's just like, oh yeah, like an absolute like dust cloud plume explosion. You're like, oh, got it. Right. Um, so we're off to we're off to the races. Um, Ray, of course, is the general manager. He has to call, call for the bell. He's like, All right, I guess we're doing this. It's a no disqualification match anyway. Um, so we're off to the races. The crowd is so invested, so invested, and you can tell when they do exchanges because it is the loudest cheer, the loudest boo. It is so beautiful. And I love I love when the crowd is so in it because I would have done horrible things to have been in that crowd.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god, yeah.
SPEAKER_00There's no way they weren't having the time of their existence during that match.
SPEAKER_01And there were phones out, but not that many because I was like trying to peep, and obviously, like some people were recording, obviously.
SPEAKER_00People were like really in the moment, yeah, in the moment, and I love that. Um, there's no DQs. This match goes everywhere. Um, both fall off the ring steps at one point, um, trying to like finagle each other into like a suplex uh position. Um, we get the first rip of the mask by the OG, um, and we basically get almost get a full unmasking right then and there of El Grande Americano. So that was a little crazy. They're out here throwing desk chairs, um, absolute insanity. We full the whole the whole hoot and like they were just nanny. Like it was brutal because there's and and JB Allen, who was on commentary, um, points out that he's like, There's no there's not one part of that that is not unpleasant, like to get it.
SPEAKER_01Because like no matter where you get hit by that, it's gonna suck.
SPEAKER_00Uh no, yeah, it's brutal. Speaking of um, no matter where they were on the floor, somebody was getting suplexed onto the floor. It was absolute insanity. Um, El Grande gets busted open first, um, and he really like lays in and think you can see the gash um right above his eye. Um, we get a belly-to-back suplex, uh superplex. So that one's like off the top rope was insane, crazy. Um, I love this like Hulk Up moment by um El Grande Americano because he's in the like gold and whatever like Hulk Hogan. And I love that he's just like the Mexican Hulk Hogan, it's so great and not insufferable. Yeah, no, uh absolutely not. Um, they'd never pick one. Um amen. So good. Uh, we get a mask rip to the uh original, you know, turnabouts fair play. Um Ray Mysterio while that like rip while El Grande Americano was ripping the OG's mask is like great choice, a phenomenal choice. And you're like, okay, guys, I love the commentary team of Jay Um Bradshaw, Rey Mysterio, and Corey Graves. It's just so funny to me. Um, because like there are often points where like they really could have elaborated more and simply did not because okay, so I
SPEAKER_01Literally wrote this down because I was like, I just I don't know. There were parts respectfully. I wish I just like could have muted them. So I was like, you're really not saying much anyway. I'd kind of just rather observe all due respect, but like y'all ain't saying much, and it's and it's kind of weird.
SPEAKER_00I get it. I get it. No, it just like I for some reason tickles me just knowing who the parties are. Absolutely.
SPEAKER_01It's like the weirdest assortment of people. And Rey Mysterio has such a lovely voice. Great choice. I'm like, okay. Sure. Yeah, I guess. Whatever you say.
SPEAKER_00That's so good. Um so good. Um El Grande drop kicks the OG while the OG is basically like pin to ring uh steps on the outside. Like looks crazy. Um, we get some chair shots, uh, like a real wild one where El Grande hits um a chair into another chair into the OG's face. It's beautiful. Um, that gets us into the introduction of Julio and Bruno, um, and putting um El Grande Americano through the announce table. Uh, we get the diving headbutt, no pin. Um, we're like, okay, this match is going to be is going to be a long one just based on all this chaos. Um, then that gives us the introduction of um Bravo um and Ryo. They come out, take care of uh Bruno and Julio. I'm sorry, I'm really trying struggling to keep track of all these like people's identities who are not who these people are. Um it's so good. Uh Bravo takes out the whole pile um from uh like one of the um elevated, like they're so fast audience area. Oh, it's so good. Uh oh yeah, he was he's so springy.
SPEAKER_01Um shirt unbuttoned.
SPEAKER_00Okay, it's so funny because those two are Tyler Bate and Pete Dunn, both British. Um yeah, it's insane.
SPEAKER_01I literally want to be like, damn, Lucha got me again. Got me again, Lucha.
SPEAKER_00Um so good. Um, the OG starts um messing with Ojitos, who's the the blind comedian on the outside. Um, a callback to earlier in the feud. Um, he gets caned for his trouble. Um and then that leads to the return of Pimpinella, who uh was taken out by the original again during the buildup of this feud. Um, that also garners a lot of sympathy for El Grande Americano. Um, Pimpinella is beloved um and has been around for a very, very long time.
SPEAKER_01Pimpinella Pimpinella?
SPEAKER_00Uh uh Pimpy for short. Um so queen. Um they come back, hit OG with a chair shot of their own. That brings us into a whole bull rope section, um, which is insane. Um, there's like a bull rope stomp where the OG has the bull rope in El Grande Americano's mouth, and then basically just kicks him in the back of the head into the mat.
SPEAKER_01It was and it was so fast, I was like, oh, like it really shocked me.
SPEAKER_00It was yeah, no, it was absolutely insane. Um, and then uh we get the um like a submission with the bull rope, and that brings the introduction of Andrea, who is the girlfriend of El Grande Americano. It re the the way that she comes down. If that is not the opening sequence of high school musical three, then I don't know what is. Oh my god. Because she looks like Vanessa Hutchins, she's out there given full mouth trips, and it's a white guy, it is the opening sequence of high school musical three, like almost to a T.
SPEAKER_01Um I have to know. Everything is wrestling.
SPEAKER_00No, um, I'm so sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Wildcat colors. If she was wearing like a scarlet something, done. So okay, anyway.
SPEAKER_00So the OG comes out, gets in her face, she's like, Um, got a ticket, can't kick me out.
SPEAKER_01My money's up, not my funny bitch.
SPEAKER_00No, 100%. That's that was that was good. Um after the uh Gabriella portion, uh the OG gets the upper hand and hits um El Grande Americano in the ankle with some chair shots, follows that up into an ankle lock, like reversal of submissions sequence, and you really like get that like, is he gonna give up? Like, we have this moment where he's so close, and then he like he really it just they did so many like old, not like old, but like older kind of wrestling tricks and things that like they don't use as much anymore.
SPEAKER_01And it I was like it felt familiar to me, it felt like we were just watching another week of 90s raw, right?
SPEAKER_00Right, and it that and it just worked, yeah. Like it just that it it hit. Um, and I don't know if that's like I don't know who the producer of the match was or if that's like the Undertaker's influence or what that's so true, but I liked the little I liked the little like nuances like throughout the match, it really just like ooh gave more.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, oversold that submission, like oversold, quote unquote, where he was just like yeah, oh it's so good.
SPEAKER_00No, because you gotta remember, like, there's some guy in the like whatever seats is like, oh, I see him trying, you know what I mean? Um so amazing stuff. Uh the strap comes down, and then he goes to like hit the ropes, and his leg gives out, like, and gives us like all this drama.
SPEAKER_01This was so brilliant. I wrote this down. This was so brilliant because the because you think he's gonna run and hit him with the and then he just collapses, and everyone's like right, oh and so right in the heart.
SPEAKER_00His leg gives out the OG, hits his own straps, and he's like gonna go like finish the match for his own, but then then oh the match hits its like climactic, and El Grande Americano props up the OG and he hits the ropes, and there's just this like there's just he hits the ropes, and there's this like small, like he gives out this like yell to like get himself through the final like run of of the move right before he launches himself into the headbutt, where you're like, that's what makes it believable, because you're like, Oh, like he's he had to give you that little extra, like, or he was gonna collapse again. He hits the headbutt, hit falls on top of the OG, gets the pin, gets the victory. The place loses their fucking minds, loses their means, and it's beautiful, it's so good. And he immediately goes and like hugs like Pimpy on the outside, and like everyone's like lose. Ah, it's so good, it's so good.
SPEAKER_01I that last little thing where he collapses and then he gives out that one last like guttural effort, and you're like, This is this has got to be it, or he will not make it, and he just he gets it right. Oh my god, he just happens to get it right at the end. Wow, hell of a fucking match, hell of a fucking match, and good for Chad Gable, dude.
SPEAKER_00I mean so good, hell yeah, so good, and then and I love this because what traditionally happens is you get like a is so fierce, we need to do this all the time, is you get a like a like introduction to the person under the mask because this is this is this audience's meeting this person for the first time, this is quote unquote in in K Fabe world. Um, so we do that. We get a like traditional unmask uh unmasking. He like takes off the mask, he introduces himself as like Chad Gable. Um, but first he like says all of these things, so like he's like, I could not like beat like the Mexican spirit like tonight, and it was just like oh, it was such a good speech. It was I was like, Okay, perfect. And then um he goes, I'll always be the original, but from this point forward, there is only one. Um, and then he like he's like to he's like tonight, you are the only uh grande Americano. The crowd like respects him. He introduces um like they respect him, they respect the effort, they like they appreciate what he did there tonight. He introduces his family, he's like, I am Chad Gable, I was born in whatever '86. I wrestled in the Olympics. I've been a uh professional wrestler for 15 years. This is my family, and then he hands over the masks and he goes off into the sunset, and that leaves El Grande Americano uh with his uh victorious trophy in the ring, celebrating with his woman and all of the people who um kind of fell uh in the story uh to the OG Americano getting their kind of come up ins, also. Um, it's really just like a storybook like ending, and it's just so good. Like the whole um just yeah, just the whole full circle moment of it all and the like doing the traditional like introduction, it just it all worked for me.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I mean it was so poetic, and I've never seen that. I've never seen a mask versus mask match. So I did not I knew an unmasking occurred, but you the fact that you do like your name, where you were born, like when you were born, and like this is my family, and like this is how long I've wrestled, and but like Lucha, I don't know. There's some they have some this poetic sauce that you just cannot imitate, like or actually like yes, imitate. I it was okay. I'm like speechless. I mean that especially that part when you he was such a great heel and he got his respect, like because he respects Lucha so much, and oh my god, I really am speechless, like what a and to have your family there and like you just walk off and the his name and like his birthday and like where he was born or whatever is like all on the screen and stuff. Very cool, and him kissing his girl right on the mouth, right in front of anybody who said lipstick be damned.
SPEAKER_00Right, please, please. He just went to prison for this. You think he didn't?
SPEAKER_01Oh my god, they can make them like that. I mean, obviously they do, honestly, it gives me hope. You know when I love I love when I go to jail. I'm kidding, that's on the internet, guys.
SPEAKER_00I'm kidding, so good, so good. Um guys, I'm so glad we got the opportunity to cover this match.
SPEAKER_01Um what a privilege.
SPEAKER_00Uh, we have uh some exciting interviews coming up in the next couple weeks. Um uh so stay on the lookout for that. But before we get into all those interviews, or you we'll announce them as they come up, don't worry.
