Comic-Con Museum stays open late on October 6. Operating hours 10 a.m. – 8 p.m., with a panel discussion with professional wrestler Thunder Rosa 6 p.m. – 7 p.m. in the theater. Panel Information: "Diplomacy and Lucha Libre: Same Battles, Different Arenas" As part of the exhibit "Sangre, Sudor y Mito: The Art and Tradition of Mexican Lucha Libre," the multifaceted Mexican-American professional wrestler Thunder Rosa and the Consul General of Mexico in San Diego, Alicia Kerber, will hold a conversation about the challenges that Mexican women face in careers as different as professional wrestlers and career diplomats. The history of Mexican luchadoras as part of the lucha libre universe was neglected and overlooked, with female matches being banned for more than 30 years. Similarly, Mexican women diplomats have faced discrimination through the years, with fewer opportunities and unbalanced representation. Based on their personal experiences, the speakers will talk about the ways they have overcome obstacles. Comic-Con International on Facebook / Instagram
