As teased, I’ve been really busy today (though less than expected tomorrow), and really just now getting around to reading and writing lucha posts. I’m going to break stuff up in to lots of little posts to get it up quicker and we’ll see if I catch up or pass out first.
I’ll have a full post on this later on (so it catches the podcast feed then), but you don’t need to wait for that – go listen to Tony’s interview with Marco Corleone right now. Here, I’ll even embed a link for you, so you have no excuses.
The documentary on Vampiro – “Vampiro: Angel, Devil, Hero” – which had to be filmed a couple years ago by now, got a couple mostly favorable reviews in the Canadian press today; it’s part of a film festival this weekend. From reading the reviews, it does seem to capture the genuine Vampiro, instead of just being a puff piece. It’s also good timing, since they can spin it as ‘the real life The Wrestler’. And, it produced perhaps the greatest line in the history of headlines:
Vampiro: He’s the wrestler who can spot a phony a mile away
I think even Vamp would gleefully spend 15 minutes coming up with hilarious punchlines to that setup. Feel free to add your own in the comments.
