Johny Mundo vs. Alberto El Patrón
[Lucha Underground, 5/6/15]
Wrestlers wear t-shirts
with their names
and faces on them
in case they sustain
a bad blow
to the head
it’s easier for them
to remember
who they are.
Prince Puma vs. Rey Misterio
[Lucha Underground: Ultimate Lucha Dos, 7/24/16]
When you can’t decide between masked men,
you pick your favorite by his tattoos
or, better yet,
by the expression of pain
in the face of whom you imagine
looks more like you.
Bobby Roode vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
[NXT Takeover Orlando, 4/2/17]
I turned 38 this year,
one year younger than Roode.
It’s like having an adjective for a last name.
Only that’s not how you write it.
My biggest dream is to die with my boots on
in the middle of the ring
but you probably have to pay
extra for that.
I try my best to be rude to people.
Even so they call me other names.
Roode’s trunks say ‘Glorious’ on the back.
My poems are ‘average’ at best.
It’s like having the world title around your waist
but nobody wants to take it away.
