Andar

Andar wrestled in Arizona from the late 1980s into the 1990s, as a traveling "monk"  dressed in brown and wearing a mask. No everyone was impressed by him as behind his back, some of the wrestlers referred to him a "caca" or :shit" in Spanish and proclaimed he looked like a giant lump of...well...anyway......

Andar came from San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico, near the Mexican border, where he was also seen from time  to time. he was an  instrumentalist in getting more than a handful of Arizona grapplers booked in this area as well.

In Arizona, Andar was usually ont he undercard. More often than not, he faced fellow luchadores such as The Mad Monks, Pedro El Bello, Amadeus, Cerberus and Resplandor. Sometimes, he faced much larger wrestlers and was quickly smashed down, as when he was thrown in the ring against Sergeant Shultz or Eruption.

For a brief time, Andar also wrestled without his mask as Silver Fox.

Eventually, Andar returned to San Luis and retired. I have no idea what happened to him since.
