Then let us speak of Juan Tempestuoso... the Luchador Troubadour!

There was a time my friends, not so very long ago in fact, when the love ballads of masked men could be heard echoing through these great United States of Mexico. From the shores of proud Jalisco* to the sprawling refineries of Tamaulipas, from the mountains of Oaxaca to the bustling streets of Mexico City there was not a child who did not know by heart, the battle hymns of the Gentleman Vigilantes, there was not one woman who did not weep at the lamentations of lovers doomed by the curse of Aztec Mummies and even the strongest of men found tbemselves captives to the haunting songs of the "Velvet Vampiros".

For this was the time of the Luchador Troubadour, those two fisted seducers who suckled freely at the breasts of the three Sister Muses... Danger, Mystery & Romance! But none of these Hooded Pilgrims of Love could compare to the great Juan Tempestuoso. Yes... Juan Tempestuoso! For who else had wrestled the Blood demons of Zacatecas to a stand still? Who but the legendary Juan Tempestuoso could start a fistfight with a motorcycle gang of Toltec WereRavens and live to sing about it? What other man could know the carnal delights of having bedded the elusive Astro-Ghost on the hide of a skinned Chupacabra.

His origins are vague. Some say he is the only Luchador to ever have trained with the Yaqui shaman don Juan Matus. It was here he ahieved mastery of Awareness, Transformation & Intent. That he uses the Art of Dreaming to travel across the Wheel Of Time and knows the secret wisdom of the Nagual! Others say he is the wraith of a once famous luchador, who since accidentally killing his only love in a car crash, is now condemned to battle injustice from beyond the grave until "the enemies of Mexico have been throttled to death by his bare hands"... then and only then will he be allowed the cold rest of eternity. Of course there are even those few who still insist that he was just a dumb barrio kid who "accidentally" partook of some 'Radioactive Peyote', but this is only slanderous rumors spread by the likes of King Falcone & El Iguana!

Only one thing is for certain... that though Juan Tempestuoso might know a hundred ways to break a man in two... he knows over a thousand ways to break a womans heart!




*(for it is only Jalisco that can boast of being birthplace of both Mariachi music and Tequila... mothers milk to the true Luchador)
