The Luchagors is a punk rock band based in Atlanta, Georgia. It is fronted by Amy Dumas, better known as Lita to professional wrestling fans of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). During her last wrestling match at WWE's Survivor Series 2006, Dumas wore a Luchagors t-shirt.

The name Luchagors is a homage to the term Luchador, a Lucha libre performer.cite web|url=http://www.stompandstammer.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=986&Itemid=51&limit=1&limitstart=0|title= The Luchagors Drop a Powerbomb|author=Jeff Clark|publisher=Stomp and Stammer|accessdate=2007-10-02|date=September 7, 2007] Dumas performed this style early in her professional wrestling career. It is combined with the word gore, as in horror films, of which Amy and Shane are fans.

The band started out playing small gigs in and around the Atlanta area. The band's world premiere show was at the Rock-n-Shock event, which was held at the Masquerade in Atlanta, Georgia on September 14 2006.

In early 2007, they began recording their debut album, which is being produced by Skid Row bassist, Rachel Bolan.
