Columbus Day




Today is Columbus Day!  I'm sure all you dudes are celebrating it in appropriate fashion.  Although Columbus represented the Spanish crown, lived much of his life in Spain, and even died there, a lot of places in the U.S. use Columbus Day to celebrate Italian-American culture.  I always thought that was kind of odd, but whatever.  It's different in Spanish speaking counties.  If you are in Spain, today is Dia de la Hispanidad, which a friend tells me loosely translates to "Hispanic brotherhood".  And what better way to celebrate Hispanic brotherhood than a wrestling match?  After all, brothers do like to fight and wrestle around a lot.  A recent match at Thunders Arena featured the 6' 3" and 220 pound Lupe facing off against our favorite (and much smaller) wrestler, Zack Vazquez.  As you can tell from the pics above, it looks like the Zman takes a beating, but since the bigger brother usually wins these kind of things, that should come as no surprise here.  TA bills Lupe as the "Latino lover" and describes the match as "a hotblooded blowup between Cubanismo and Mexicano-hasta-las-cachas, with Zman promising to send Lupe's ass back to Telemundo."  Hispanic brotherhood indeed.  I better put an end to this post soon before the PC thought police shut me down.
