A

lot can change in twenty-one years. rookies become veterans, veterans become legends and stars can breakthrough or break-

down. nevertheless, the core fundamentals of wrestling stay as prevalent as ever. Julio torres a.k.a ‘the Brooklyn Brawler’ explained that new generations are lacking the logic that has kept him in the business for so long.

“There is a lack of properly trained guys coming into this business at the moment. They could do with somebody teaching them how to learn the fundamentals, which can give them longevity in this life and not just a short-term career.

“At the moment their careers are being cut short, they’re doing crazy stuff when they don’t need to do. Your career can end in a moment, someone’s life is in your hands and I would hate to think that someone’s life could easily end or be trans- formed. You can still include the high spots, but you need to be safe, because at the end of the day it’s about career, it’s about longevity.”

The New York native is speaking from exper- ience, having wrestled all over the world including AZTEC promotions in Mexico, “they work from both left and right hand sides and are very acrobatic in their moves, it takes getting used to and they never seem to blow up.”
