"The amount of respect I have for him – not just what he’s meant for Lucha Libre over the course of his career but just as a man to watch another man at (65) years old still take the risks, still compete because he loves it."So, it’s gonna be a little bittersweet to have to take the old man out back and take his championship from him.But that’s the nature of the game, right? When you’re the champ, you got a target on your back, everybody wants what you have.
