Hello everyone. As always, I would like to thank all of you for spending some time with me today.
We are into are second week of “Spotlighting the Indies” and I have to say things are going very well. The lovely and talented Hayley has put hers out, and if you haven’t read it yet I would recommend that you do so.
As for myself I decided to spotlight a wrestler who is far from being considered a rookie. He is a long time Indy veteran who has taken the NWA by storm. He brings us exciting action to the ring along with some tradition.
The wrestler I have chosen to cover is none other then the great Blue Demon Jr. While we do not know this man's real name due to his strict traditions, it is said that the Blue Demon Jr is the adopted son of long time legend Blue Demon.
Blue Demon Jr. was born in 1966 in Mexico City. He made his ring-debut in 1985 in Tijuana and wrestled under the name Blue Demon Jr. He would wrestle for some time under this gimmick claiming to be the adopted son of the Blue Demon.
His gimmick wouldn’t be with out some controversy, though. Blue Demon's real son, Alfredo Muñoz, claimed that this was falsified information. They would eventually work out a financial agreement that let him keep the name.
While most wrestlers his age are at the tail end of their careers, Blue Demon Jr is at the height of his. He is 43 years old and in better shape than guys half his age. He not only brings excitement to the ring, he also adds a sense of tradition seldom seen these days.
He is currently the NWA champion and proudly displays the belt where ever he goes. Like many NWA champions, he travels all over the world defending the title. It is a challenging task but rewarding for this pound luchador.
"It's a great moment for Blue Demon because the championship is most wanted for many wrestlers in the world," he explained, listing great names like Lou Thesz and Ric Flair who have held the belt previously.
Blue Demon Jr. won the title on October 25, 2008, in Mexico City, defeating Adam Pearce. He made history by becoming the first Mexican masked wrestler to ever hold the NWA heavyweight title.
"I think I won my opportunity. I worked very hard for this opportunity," he said. "I have a big challenge."
