Mexican wrestling

Manuel is Paco's neighbor and lifelong friend, which by association makes him my friend.  It was his birthday last week.  As a surprise we took him to the "Luche Libre", Mexican professional wrestling.  

Professional wrestling is just as stupid in Mexico as it is in the states, with the addition of goofy looking masks.  I was surprised to find it entertaining, and the crowd really got into it, which made it even more fun for me.

How happy did it make Manuel - who has watched it on television for years but never attended a live performance - (and performance is definitely the right word)?  He said, "Como un babi," as happy as a baby.
