The Monstradores! Kaiju fighting Luchadores led by Dr. Destructor (he's really a doctor!). Roll Call: Diablo Loco! Turbo Gigante! Lobo Azul! And everyone's favorite, Señorita Sangre!

Born from out love of Indiana Jones, Kaiju and Santo and... telenovelas?! The Monstradores is luchadore fighting action like you've never experience before. It's an action-packed mash-up of all those things, with more than a few laughs to spare.

The Monstradores joined forces with the Monster Matador to defeat the Megaracha in Mexico City. Soon after, the Matador sent the Monstradores on a mission to recruit an army in order to fight Nacho Lobo and his army of baddies and KAIJU! Of course, nothing is ever easy. Now we join the Monstradores as their mission is interruped by EL GOLIAS!
