¡Mucha Lucha! (2002–2005)
Great Show, But needs new voices

Warning: Spoilers
*** SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS***

This show is just plain funny. Though the real problem is the voices. I am an American of Mexican descent and my second native language is Spanish, so I can tell that the voices of most of the characters CAN'T really Spanish. Really anyone who spends enough time around Spanish speakers would be able to.

*Spolier Alert!* I especially liked the episode where there was to be a wrestling match between the children alongside their fathers. Ricochet's father doesn't show until the last minute when he busts in the arena in a car that has a horn that play "La Cucaracha". The ending match pits the three friends Ricochet, Beuna Girl, and the Flea. Because of their relationship Ricochet wonders what he should do. His father says that friends & family are worth more than trophy and says that he should take a dive along with his friends so that they can all win.

To persuade Ricochet, his father tell him why he was late. (This part was my favorite.) Before the Father/Child wresting match, Ricochet's father was at another match for (if I remember right) the world title. He is already at the final match, but the spokesman is taking so long with his speech that all you hear is "Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah!" Because Ricochet is the devout father that he is, the match with his son MUCH more important than the world title. So he places his opponents on top of him to pin himself down. Then the spokesman Counts "Oooonnnneeee!" in slow-motion for effect, but then Ricochet's father breaks in and counts "Two, Three!" And names his opponent the winner.

When the match starts, it goes normal until Ricochet get sentimental and pretends to get a cramp, to lose automatically. Beuna Girl realizes what her friend is doing so she does the same. The Flea also notices and acts as if he going to do the same, but then goes on to win it and then trips on a ripple in the mat, so the match ends in a draw. When the kids receive the trophy they to their fathers who, ironically, fight over who gets to take it home :-P.
