Women wrestlers grapple for equality

MEXICO CITY - The crowd goes wild as the masked wrestlers toss each other around the ring in colorful spandex.

But this is no ordinary Mexican "lucha libre" match: It is the "War of the Sexes", in which three women wrestlers battle three far bigger men.

Mixed matches like this, which emerged on the wildly popular pro wrestling scene some 20 years ago, could be a metaphor for gender relations in Mexico - a country with a deep tradition of machismo, where women are fighting for equal rights.
