I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for giving me the gift of becoming a star of the ring. I’m invincible, and I owe everything to my Mother of Tepeyac. I dedicate her this exvoto, with all my faith and devotion.

Lovely Mother, I thank you for your blessing and for keeping me in form during almost 30 years of my career. After many victories and many sacrifices, I offer this retablo in your honor.

I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe because after many prayers she granted me with the great favor and helped me in my fight over the championship against El Salvaje (The Savage) and I won with “la zacatecana” move (?).

Torreon, 1987

One night I was selling cold beer at the wrestling arena. I was distracted and didn’t noticed that the wrestler named Superpig jumped off the third rope and almost fell on me. I thank the Lord of Chalma because I stepped away in time. Otherwise he would have sent me right to the hospital.

I thank the Virgin from Tepeyac for giving me peace and pride of accepting my defeat from the great El Santo and came off in one piece to try to recover the championship belt. I testify my eternal gratitude.

I, Mistico, the Prince of Silver and Gold, offer this retablo to the Virgin of Guadalupe because I was able to win the mask of the Black Warrior on Friday, September 29, 2006. I ask you to look after me and to bless me in whatever I do.

We are afraid of nothing. The Virgin looks after us.

I dedicate this exvoto to Saint George for the health and career of the wrestling legend Mick Foley. I watched with horror when the Undertaker threw him from the cell, and I was surprised that he not only survived but climbed back to fight few moments later. Mick Foley is a remarkable athlete. I wish him many more years of success and happiness.

In sign of my eternal gratitude, I dedicate the present retablo to the Miraculous Virgin of San Juan* for saving me when I slipped from the top rope trying to perform an Atomic Hummer.

* — there is an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, however.

Thank you, Virgin of Guadalupe, for giving me strength to keep on wrestling so I can support my daughter.

I dedicate this retablo to the Virgin of Guadalupe for eternal peace of my idol Pedro Aguayo Damian, the great, genius, amazing Dog Aguayo. Dog of Nochistlan, thank you for giving us so much joy at the ring.
