"Weight Gaining" is the second segment of the 1st episode in the first season of ¡Mucha Lucha!. It aired on August 17, 2002, on Kids' WB and March 5, 2004, on Cartoon Network.
Synopsis[]
Rikochet challenges three huge wrestlers at school... to fight all at once. The only problem is that together, they are way out of Rikochet's weight class. He's either got to put on weight and fast or forget the match altogether. Rikochet doesn't quit too easily. And, with the help of Buena Girl, the Flea and sage advice about overeating from El Rey, Rikochet manages to bulk up and up and up... until he's in a weight class all his own... unless, of course, you count planets.
