In the English language, the term refers exclusively to Mexican-style professional wrestling (staged performances with predetermined outcomes), while in Spanish it can refer to freestyle wrestling ( es:lucha libre olímpica), professional wrestling ( es:lucha libre profesional), and specifically Mexican professional wrestling ( es:lucha libre mexicana). Tag team wrestling is especially prevalent in lucha libre, particularly matches with three-member teams, called trios.

The wearing of masks has developed special significance, and matches are sometimes contested in which the loser must permanently remove his mask, which is a wager with a high degree of weight attached. Since its introduction to Mexico in the early 20th century, it has developed into a unique form of the genre, characterized by colorful masks, rapid sequences of holds and maneuvers, and 'high-flying' maneuvers, some of which have been adopted in the United States, Japan, and elsewhere. Lucha libre ( Spanish pronunciation:, meaning 'freestyle wrestling' or literally translated as 'free fight') is the term for the style of professional wrestling originating in Mexico.
