I visited Olvera Street recently and it was quite awesome. As you can see, I walked away with one hell of a mask. I'll try to post all my photos from Olvera Street it by the end of the week. Until then, I assign you all with the highly important task of coming up with a name for my latest Mexican wrestling persona. Who knows... maybe I'll even have him battle my other persona, El Serpento, sometime. I'm always fighting with myself mentally, so I might as well make it more official with a physical battle of epic luchador proportions. Failure to suggest at least one name will result in me breaking into your home, putting you in a figure-four leglock and eating all your food.

Looks like Juenvtood Guerras old mask.
Klanger (Guest) on 01/26/2009 3:47 pm
The mask. The pose. The surreal look of a bastardized Mexican hooligan about to pummel an angry toddler. I dub thee: El Chingón Retrasado!
Cameron (Guest) on 01/26/2009 3:53 pm
Here you go Rog:
El terror de la salmuera
The Pickle Terror!!
Or if you prefer
La salmuera
The Pickle!!
Boonehams (Guest) on 01/26/2009 4:15 pm
Wooly Bully, El Diablo de Las Vegas, Galactus de Midnight or El Cowboy are my picks for names.
Tadao on 01/26/2009 4:37 pm
I haven't been there for a very long time. I can't wait to see the pics. Hopefully one day you'll go to J-Town and take pics with all the short old people.

DUDE! China town has an epic alley with some old chinese lady selling various weapons and weapon replica. Almost bought a tazer/baton but im pretty sure it was illegal... seriously they had the most epic stuff. just stay on the main street and look left till you see a dark alley with an old lady with a cart overflowing with swords and umbrella-swords... man...if only i brought a little more money..
jo8136 on 01/26/2009 7:00 pm

King Credo (Guest) on 01/26/2009 8:46 pm
"Lord Zapato" or "Cassiopeia's Zapateria".
Any word that is realted to shoes in spanish somehow appeals to me.
10,000 Volt Ghost on 01/26/2009 9:12 pm
I think it's a Psychosis mask.
GreenPeaness on 01/26/2009 9:31 pm
The Chaz
Also, I liked Boonehams's "El Cowboy."
HeroliciousDeBlanc on 01/26/2009 9:33 pm
Creepy Gonzalez, Andelester or Arribartholomew.
Silver on 01/26/2009 10:16 pm
Being a Mexican, I feel forced to suggest a proper name for that insane mask.
Let's see...
What about "El Holy Diablo"?
You could also try using your name, just as several Mexican Luchadores do. Something Like "Rogelio de la Barra".

In case you're too lazy to look those up, they're The Green Bastard and The Flaming Pickle, respectively.
-RoG- on 01/27/2009 2:55 am
FlameAdder, sorry, but I've already used the name "El Bastardo" in an old experimental music project of mine from long ago.
Some spiffy names so far... keep 'em coming people! Except for you, Copper, I've got a figure-four leglock with your name on it, and your fridge had better be well stocked!

salmuera is not pickle is the sauce you put cucumbers to turn them into pickles in spanish they are called pepinillos
brokensaint82 on 01/27/2009 10:02 am
I'd go with El Pickle Terror, but thats just me, i wanna go to china town now for masks and weapons
brokensaint82 on 01/27/2009 10:03 am
oops didnt see pickle terror already taken....ok then go with El Chupapickle -RoG-, i deem it a fine name
BurnPianoBurn on 01/27/2009 11:52 am
That Rog, IS a Psychosis mask. Psychosis had a bad temper and was a horrible worker in the WWE and was a nitemare in the backstage area, so much that no one wanted to carpool to shows with him. But you can be whoever you dream of being in the magical world of Lucha Libre.
Boonehams (Guest) on 01/27/2009 1:39 pm
Elvis the Bull, El Toro Loco, Horned Madness, Crazy-Eye Vaca, Raging Bull... uh... I'm thinking here....

"I've got a figure-four leglock with your name on it.

I'll see your figure-four and raise you a walls of jericho. :)
Commanderraf on 01/27/2009 2:44 pm
Hm... lets see. A good name for a fighter...
From the top of my head, how about: ¡Ay moquero!. Sounds similar to I-mockery, explains the green colour of your mask and adds the -o English speakers like to add to make Spanish sounding words (like El Barto in The Simpsons).
But that's just some quick name. I'll see if I can think of something better.

I didn't take Spanish (Spreken zie Deutsch?), but with the power of the internet, was able to come up with this.
El Campeón difusos de gatitos
Translation (according to the almighty Google)- The protector of fuzzy kittens.
My first choice was going to be "The Almighty Webmaster." But I couldn't find a spanish translation of webmaster. So yeah.

Kyle Harkes (Guest) on 01/28/2009 8:58 am
The Horny Devil. Whatever that would be in Spanish.
Commanderraf on 01/28/2009 10:17 am
imockyou: "The protector of fuzzy kittens" best translation would be "el protector de gatitos peluditos/pachoncitos(mexicanism)/afelpados". On your other recomendation, that would become "El webmaster todopoderoso". As in many other languages, technology terms are usually loan words from English, so webmaster in Spanish is Webmaster.
Kyle Harkes, you got it wrong. In Spanish that name would be "El diablo cornudo", but cornudo also means someone who's currently being cheated by his/her wife, girlfriend/boyfriend or lifelong partner, so no.
If you went by the... other meaning of horny, then "El diablo caliente" would fit more, although noticing that wrestling is kind of gay, I don't thik RoG would be too happy to have some fat greasy fighter trying to get some love from him.

How about "Rog is going to kick your sorry ass all the way from Olvera to Mexico city where you will be confused by the time difference so he laughs in your face"?
Hey it's different from all the 'pickle' suggestions, okay?
Though if you were looking for something a bit more mexican, you could replace "ass" with "asno".
darkvare on 01/30/2009 10:26 pm
do they sell these over at olvera street
Jony B. Good on 01/31/2009 1:21 am
How about "El Pepinote"? Which means "the big pickle" also translates as "the big cucumber" your war cry would be "Aqui está su pepinote", "Here's you big pickle.." or cucumber. You would step in the ring, raising your arms above your head, like holding a large, cylinrical object, while doing your shout. The audience will go nuts.
Droopy (Guest) on 01/31/2009 8:19 pm

"El Luchador P". It's mysterious, edgy, and Spanish!
tromataker (Guest) on 02/13/2009 11:28 pm
That's a Psicosis mask. JUST DONT CALL YOURSELF THAT OR AAA WILL SUE YOU. You see, they own the rights to the name Psicosis, so they gave it to another dude. The weird thing is, the ORIGINAL Psicosis is working for them as Nicho El Millionario, and sometimes fights the fake Psicosis, who is technically the real Psicosis because he has the rights to the character even though he's the second guy to use it.
