"It was a good movie, specially because I grew up around both of these cities Cd. Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico and El Paso, TX where Cassandro is from. I met him at EPCC and he looked like a humble down to earth person. When I was a child my Mom would take me to see the Lucha Libre and it was great. We also met another Pasoan Eric Guerrero who became a WWE wrestler. I also love watching the black and white movies where El Santo and Blue Demon would come out and fight Vampires and other supernatural beings."
