Fray Tormenta

A holy fighter, Sergio Gutiérrez Benítez is a priest and founder of the orphanage “La Casa Hogar de los Cachorros de Fray Tormenta”

He donned the mask of gold and red for a good 23 years, in an effort to bring money for the orphanage, making his identity a secret so the fights were taken seriously. The last 10 of which he spent fighting only ocasionally, finally retiring in 2011.

Sound familiar? you bet your ass, this man’s an inspiration, both for Tekken’s King and the 1991 french movie L'Homme au masque d'or

…and Jared Hess’ Nacho Libre I guess - .-

Fray Tormenta has also become a supporting character in the Mexican comic Místico: El Príncipe de Plata y Oro, since he is fellow wrestler Mistico’s mentor IRL, and the baton has been handed to another one of his kids, who is only known as Fray Tormenta Jr.

To this day he still wears the mask every so often during masses, and continues to inspire his children to overcome the adversity to become great people.
