Celebration of Lucha Libre in Guadalajara

Yesterday, a function of the World Wrestling Council was held in Guadalajara. Although in Mexico City the company suspended all its events until further notice following the September 19 earthquake, they are gradually returning to their activities.

The Importance of Wrestling

For the gladiator Shocker, it is important that citizens gradually regain optimism and find relaxation in a sport as rooted as wrestling. However, they must always respect the mourning of those who were affected or lost a loved one in the tragedy.

Spectacle Resumption

"I consider that the resumption of mass shows, whether it be wrestling, theater, or football in the city, has two characteristics: it is good for people to distract themselves a little from all the bad things that have happened and are happening with our work, to be a refuge for all the suffering that the country is experiencing. And two, it is not correct due to the number of people who lost their property, their home, or a loved one, and we must show solidarity with their mourning," said the '1000% Handsome' to La Afición.

Contributing to the Aid Efforts

The gladiator mentioned that, from his trench, the wrestling community has contributed their bit so that people continue to join the help that thousands of Mexicans still need.

A Personal Impact

"The truth is something very tragic, something you don't believe until you see it and experience it firsthand. Going out into the street and seeing collapsed properties, buildings from the earthquake, was something that not only affected me emotionally but also psychologically," he said.

Gratitude and Moving Forward

The native of Guadalajara is also grateful that his family members were in 'the pearl of the West' at the time of the disaster. He will seek to double his efforts after these terrible events to continue preparing more in his profession, to keep drawing smiles from his fans, and gradually return to normalcy.
