Super Mojado: A Luchador For A New America
19 March 2008, 10:30 AM. By Guanabee Staff
It’s funny how you can be combing the newswire thinking, “I’ll never find a story. I’ll never find a story.” And then a headline with the name, “Super Mojado” just pops up out of nowhere. And you think, “It can’t be.” But in fact, it is. And you realize, there is a God and he’s come to save the world in the form of a Mexican wrestler named Super Mojado:
Much like other Mexican wrestlers with a social conscious (example - Fray Tormenta) the Super Mojado introduced himself yesterday as a hero for Southern California’s immigrant community. A local wrestling promoter said that Super Mojado will star in a charity bout this weekend with proceeds going to illegal immigrants who were detained in a recent raid.
The Latin Americanist has gone to the trouble of translating from Spanish Super Mojado’s super words of hope:
“What I ask is that [they] should not be unfair, we came to work,” said Super Mojado who added that much like wrestlers immigrants also “fight daily to survive.” [Ed: Uh...and anonymously, too.] The wrestler also said that he would campaign for an end to immigration raids and a reform that would help undocumented people.
We can’t wait for his appearance on Lou Dobbs!

No mames. Luchadores with “SM” should be called “Super Mamón” or something like that.
Bored at school….
It should be ‘SP’ fur ‘Super Pendejo”
@ Diego & Raunchy Roncha.
Me thinks you both protest too much. When was the last time you swam over the Rio Grande or crossed the Sonoran desert in search of opportunity and when was the last time some random person did something held a benefit for your brown ass?
Maybe we all deserve a better world and respect, but until that happens, maybe it will take one lone Super Pendejo or Super Mamon who will do something about it, instead of just being glib and flippant from their computer desks.
*Can you tell that I gave up cynicism for Lent*
I had to fix the spelling and syntax errors, ktnxbai.
CORRECTED: Me thinks you both protest too much. When was the last time you swam over the Rio Grande or crossed the Sonoran desert in search of opportunity and when was the last time some random person did something like hold a benefit for your brown ass?

Well said, Janie. And in answer to the first part of your question: When was the last time you swam over the Rio Grande or crossed the Sonoran desert in search of opportunity… Spring Break 1993.
@ Cindy. Late bloomer, eh?
nope sorry Janie i’ve never tried to swim across the rio grande but only because i can’t swim.
but neither did my parents… they came here legally. with work visas. in a plane.
I am not really into luchadors. But I gotta say, I dig him. A super hero who wants “a reform that would help undocumented people” is cool with me. Any chance that’s Matt Gonzalez in a mask?
IN RESPONSE TO LA RONCHA YOUR PARENTS MIGHT OF CAME INTO THIS COUNTRY WITH VISAS BUT WHAT HAPPEND WHEN THIER PERMIT WAS UP? THEY PROBERLY STAYED HERE ILLEGALY LIKE EVERONE DOES. WHY DO YOU WANT TO BASH ON SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO GIVE HOPE TO PEOPLE?
If I want to look at a guy with small balls I’ll look at the silhouette of a man’s sack receiving head as featured in “Playing The Fame Game: Ashley Alexandra Dupré Is A “Girl Gone Wild.” But Do You Really Care?” instead of the spectacle of “Super Mamón”. This man is at worst a joke and at best a useless marginalized art world transplant. Show me your face and not to mention credentials Super Mamón!
