Virgin of Guadalupe

Aniceto Mendoza was stabbed in his buttock by one of his dear lover for being a womanizer. He brings this retablo to the Virgin of Guadalupe infinitely thanking her for he have enough time to run away from this crazy broad.

My sister Maria and I were swimming in the open sea near the beach of San Javier when suddenly the water under us became dark and enormous tentacles came out of the sea. Our anxiety began when we saw the creature they were belonged to. It grabbed us with a violent move and drowned us like rag dolls. Seeing this, I prayed very hard to the Virgin of Guadalupe for help and rescue. After we almost fainted, the beast let us go, and we could go back to the shore. I testify this miracle.

Thank you, Virgin of Guadalupe, for all my triumphs and for helping me remain healthy. But, above all, thanks for all my colleagues who, although I was a foreigner, supported me and made me a better person and wrestler.

Summer 1974, I was on vacation in Tokyo when something extraordinary happened. The night of July 26, an enormous monster attacked the city. A giant reptile of huge size was destroying everything on its way sowing death and terror. Seeing this, I could only ask the Virgin of Guadalupe for intervention, and some time later Godzilla got lost in the sea.

I wholeheartedly thank the Virgin of all Mexicans for being so good to me. She’s been with me in the good moments and in the bad ones protecting me from injuries and dying on the ring. Thanks for looking after me, Holy Mother.
