Two weeks ago in Oaxaca I ended up fighting—do you know Lucha Libre?—yeah, I fought against a giant Viking. Two wrestlers came with canisters of fake snow, and they started to throw snow on people. I grabbed one, the other guy grabbed one, and we started to fight. The audience was screaming “Go in the ring! Go in the ring!” and we were just like “Yeah no it’s ok.“ Then the wrestler and the referee were saying “Go in the ring!! Go in the ring!!!” and when we said no, all the audience was like “Fight guys!! Fight guys!!” So we ended up fighting. And I won. The guy was just all muscle, one head taller than me, and I won—I won! I have the video, I’m very proud. My mom was crazy, just like, “Stop doing shit like that!”
