Another luchador (Completely *UPDATED and spell checked!)

This guy is not called "Super Mojado." *He's "Viper," Super Mojado's arch enemy.* I heard about the duo on the Bill Handel show, and found this Fox News story on them . Here's an excerpt:

Super Mojado — Super Wetback, if you translate the Spanish slur — is a new Mexican wrestler making his debut Saturday in Van Nuys, Calif., to help raise money for some of the more than 100 undocumented workers busted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement last month.

"We decided to make a hero that would be for all the people that don't have papers," said Joseph Medina, a wrestling promoter and the character's creator. He said Super Mojado's role is to educate the public.

 

 

No word on whether these guys are suspects in the Lucha Libre/ WWF Shotgun Bandit spree. We'll keep an eye on it, but don't bet on it.

In the meantime, don't forget Wrestlemania is just a few days away.

I think that picture is actually his arch nemesis Viper.
