Quotes by Alex Espinoza (?)

“In the end, for us fighters, it's not about the script or about the feuds or about who the victor is. It's about the spectacle of it all. It's about the struggle. Solo la lucha.”
― Alex Espinoza, The Sons of El Rey

1 likes

“No I wasn't born a luchador. I was shaped into one by circumstance, by a life lived without tenderness or sympathy, by my father's beatings when I was a boy, his constant attempts to toughen me up, to make me a man. Un hombre valiete, he'd say.”
― Alex Espinoza, The Sons of El Rey
