Masked Republic, the only company in the world dedicated to expanding lucha libre beyond the borders of Mexico, has become known to wrestling fans around the globe as the home of official licensed luchador merchandise. From legends LA PARK and Dr. Wagner Jr. to the most fan-demanded stables like Perros Del Mal and Los Ingobernables, Masked Republic’s LuchaShop.com is the only site where fans can purchase officially licensed merchandise and have it shipped to them anywhere in the world. As of today, Masked Republic is proud and honored to announce that the most famous luchador on the planet, Rey Mysterio, has joined the family.

“I wanted to be able to bring premium merchandise to my fans around the world who have been asking for it and teaming with Masked Republic was the perfect way to do just that.” Rey said.

The current AAA Lucha Libre star and former WWE World Champion has released three premium T-shirts and two limited edition plush keychains with the company. All five items are available exclusively at the company’s LuchaShop.com website.

“There is not a single luchador in history who is as well known around the world as Rey Mysterio.” Masked Republic CEO Ruben Zamora said. “His career has broken boundaries and records and it’s not over yet! His extremely loyal fan base, as seen in his nearly 3 million followers on social media, have been asking him to release new products, and we are very happy to be able to release the first ones now in time for the holiday season. Each item has been created with Rey’s input and approval and are created with premium quality materials. The t-shirts are silkscreened with pride here in Rey’s hometown and ours, San Diego, CA, and the plush keychains are designed and manufactured by artisans Qbito Grafico in San Luis Potisi, Mexico. Like Rey, we share great pride in featuring products produced on both sides of the border.”

The three debut t-shirts and two plush keychains are now available at LuchaShop.com.
