History Trivia / MuchaLucha

** Rikochet had two voice actors- Creator/CarlosAlazraqui for the first two seasons, and Creator/JasonMarsden for season 3 (Carlos' other roles were taken over by other actors).

** A UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 game was planned for release, but never came to be due to the show declining in ratings.

* UsefulNotes/HighDefinition: ¡Mucha Lucha! Is one of the earliest shows produced by Warner Bros to have been made natively in widescreen High-def. Granted, it aired at a time when almost no homes had HDTVs, but this allowed it to be future-proofed to an extent when Amazon eventually out the whole series up for purchase in HD.

** The "Build Your Own Wrestler" game that was used for fans to submit their own characters disappeared after the show was canceled.

* RomanceOnTheSet: In the Mexican Spanish dub, Héctor Emmanuel Gómez (Rikochet's VA) and Karla Falcón (Buena Girl's VA) started dating after finishing the dubbing of season 3. Currently, they are husband and wife in real life.

* NamesTheSame: Rikochet and [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Ricochet]], a.k.a. Wrestling/TrevorMann.

* CrossDressingVoices:
** The Flea who is voiced by Candi Milo. Also played straight in the Japanese dub as well.
** Curiously enough, this is inverted in the Mexican Spanish and Polish dubs.

** Plans for a revival "¡Mucha Lucha! Para Siempre" (Translation: ¡Mucha Lucha! Forever) but nothing seems to come of it since 2014 but there were some online comics, artwork, and an animatic.

* FollowTheLeader: While not the first cartoon made in UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash, it was the first made specifically for television. While limited in movement and using relatively simple rounded designs, it paved the Ya for other cartoons to be more dynamic with the software.

* CowboyBebopOnHisComputer: An official website depicted the protagonists using moves aside from their signatures, moves they only used in one episode. Might be justified because Flea's had to be replaced, at least, since it's never depicted on screen because of how gross it is, and the rest were used for consistency's sake.

** Originally the episodes “Pig Out” and “Party Animal” were made to guest star RealLife Luchadores Super Porky and [[Wrestling/ReyMysterio Rey Misterio Jr]] But due to scheduling conflicts or other circumstances they couldn’t appear so their CaptainErsatz counterparts El Porcino and Rey Dinamico were made to compensate for this. They DID however get BlueDemonJr for the series finale.
