Description: El Chavo del Ocho (The Kid from number Eight), later known as just El Chavo, is a Mexican television sitcom that premiered on April 27, 1972. The show follows the adventures and tribulations of the title character—a poor orphan nicknamed El Chavo and his friends, which often cause conflict, of a comedic nature, between the other inhabitants of a fictional low-income housing complex, or, as called in Mexico, vecindad. The series gained enormous popularity in Hispanic America, Brazil, Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries, and ended on June 12, 1992 after 7 seasons and 311 episodes.
Description: A geometric Lucha Libre style wrestling icon for the little wrestler in your life. Lucha libre, meaning "free wrestling", is a term used in Mexico, and other Spanish-speaking countries, for a form of professional wrestling. Mexican wrestling is characterized by colorful masks, rapid sequences of holds and maneuvers, as well as "high-flying" maneuvers, some of which have been adopted in the United States. 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.
