a Good Guy Wrestler for Undocumented Workers
By Sara Bonisteel
There’s a new masked man in California who promises to be the hero of undocumented workers — if only they can get over his offensive name.
Super Mojado — Super Wetback, if you translate the Spanish slur — is a new Mexican wrestler making his debut Saturday in Van Nuys, Calif., to help raise money for some of the more than 100 undocumented workers busted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement last month.
“We decided to make a hero that would be for all the people that don’t have papers,” said Joseph Medina, a wrestling promoter and the character’s creator. He said Super Mojado’s role is to educate the public.Super Mojado will wrestle Ronnie K, an unmasked white man, and Viper, who is a masked traitor to his Latino brothers. The pair make up the evil tag team “INS” or “Irresistible Notorious Studs,” a not-so-subtle play on the federal immigration agency formerly known as the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
