(Undo revision 218868 by Chombi (talk): See talk page. User:AlexDorada wrote both the WP and LW articles as of 2019, so there's no issue. Will fix up the rest shortly.) Tag: Undo |
(Mild update to bring us to the present. 2020-22 still needs work (Big Lucha, etc.). Also, he's been saying that 12/16/2022 was his 10th anniversary as a luchador, so updated debut date accordingly.) |
