Round Rock Express News Release
(Austin, TX) - RJ Brewer doesn't dislike Mexicans. He just doesn't like illegal immigrants. The self-proclaimed "Arizona Patriot" is a vocal supporter of SB 1070, however he's not a politician - he's a wrestler.
Brewer, along with his bodyguard, will be bringing his message to Central Texas on Saturday as part of the Lucha Libre USA "Masked Warriors Live" Tour at The Dell Diamond. Brewer will be battling one of his nemesis, Magno, who proudly hails from Mexico. Magno, along with his fellow "tecnicos" - or good guys - fight for the rights and freedoms of Mexican Americans.
Other wrestlers include Heavyweight Champion Lizmark Jr., Latin Lover, Chavo Guerrero and WWE cross-over stars Shane "Hurricane" Helms and Jillian Hall along with many others.
