“Super Mojado” takes the ring for immigrants

Move over Chapulin Colorado. There’s a new sheriff in town, so to speak.

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.

Super Mojado ­aims to fight for the rights of all immigrants based on remarks he made:

“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.”

The wrestler also said that he would campaign for an end to immigration raids and a reform that would help undocumented people. – [ed. personal translation]
