Rudy Lopez

Rudy Lopez was one of the many obscure wrestlers who made a name for himself in Arizona, but was not well known elsewhere in the game. He was essentially a carpenter or journeyman specializing in making opponents look strong.

Lopez was neither good nor bad, but in between, being cheered when he fought hated villains and booed when he wrestled fan favorites. he was seen in Phoenix, Tucson, Prescott, Yuma, Nogales, Douglas and Benson, among other places.

People he faced included Don Arnold. Cowboy Bob Ellis, Tito Montez, Luis Martinez, Don Kent and Blas Corona.

On most cards, he was billed as being form San Diego, California which may have been real and may have been a fabrication.

Whatever became of him is a mystery.
