Blue Panther vs. Love Machine {martinete}
The Onion, uno de los diarios satíricos por antonomasia de los EEUU, publica un artículo en referencia al tema migratorio apoyado en el axioma de que "los mexicanos toman los empleos que los gringos ya no quieren hacer", pero con ácida alegoría al mundo de la Lucha Libre. Aquí les paso unos fragmentos {además de la fotografía que es excelente}:STAMFORD, CT—In response to criticism over World Wrestling Entertainment hiring policies, World Wrestling Entertainment Chairman Vince McMahon defended the league's reliance on Mexican wrestlers as "the only way fans can witness the grueling, bone-crunching maneuvers that American wrestlers want nothing to do with... After all, someone's got to take these folding chairs to the face." McMahon then picked up a folding chair and whacked Rey Mysterio Jr. in the face.
It is not known exactly how many Mexican wrestlers are on the WWE payroll, since many lack Social Security numbers, or even clear and verifiable identities, as McMahon himself admitted Monday. "I know as much about these masked wrestlers as the fans do," McMahon said. "What's certain is, they often seem marvelous and mysterious, saintly, and even rude."
According to The Son Of Santo, the brutal smackdowns that Mexican wrestlers suffer through just to earn a living have begun to take their toll: "One of our country's greatest stars, Eddie Guerrero, has already been worked to death... If the WWE continues to allow them to perform this risky, high-flying labor, many more will end up in casket matches well before their time."
