All in the hopes of makIng enough money to hire a guide to help sneak him across the border and into Mexico; even though he was assured that it was only illegal the other way around. He spent the next five years like a masked nomad, traveling from small town to small town and learning from the village elders the ways of the true lucha libre until he emerged a new man …
