[dropcap size=big]T[/dropcap]he wrestlers pulled out all the stops last Thursday night at the Mayan Theater for Lucha VaVoom's Summer Lovin' night. Event photographer Erwin Recinos was on assignment covering this event.

The night featured a “Battle for the Belt” match with L.A. local and current champ Li’l Cholo defending his title in a fatal 4-way match, plus a special guest performance from non-gender binary performance artist Violet Chachki, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race season seven.

Death defying aerial pole artist Leigh Acosta starts the show off.
