Alright, let’s talk about this fella, Carlos Colon. I ain’t no fancy wrestling expert, mind you, just an old woman who’s seen a thing or two on that there TV. Heard tell he’s a big deal in wrestling, especially down in Puerto Rico. Some folks call him a legend, the “Eternal Acrobat” or somethin’ like that. Sounds fancy, huh?
Now, from what I gather, this Carlos, he wasn’t just some musclehead flailing around in the ring. He was smart, see? He went off to America, wrestled around for a bit, then came back home and started his own thing, Capitol Sports Promotions, they called it later on. It became the biggest wrestling deal on the whole island! That’s like being the king of the hill, I reckon.
- Born in Puerto Rico, 1948
- Wrestled in the States
- Started World Wrestling Council (WWC)
- Big name in Puerto Rican wrestling
They say he was born way back in 1948, in a place called Santa Isabel. Then he packed his bags and went off to Brooklyn, wrestled there for a spell. After a while, he figured he’d had enough of that and came back home. That’s when he got the ball rollin’ with that wrestling company. It wasn’t just him, though. He had a whole family mixed up in it, like his kids, Eddie and Stacy. They all got into the wrestling business, too. Seems like a family affair, that wrestling thing.
This Eddie fella, some folks might know him better as Primo from that WWE thing on TV. Yeah, that’s Carlos’s boy. And Stacy, she was a wrestler too. Imagine that, a whole family beatin’ each other up for fun and money! Guess it’s their way of makin’ a livin’. Can’t say I understand it much, but hey, to each their own, right?
And those other wrestlers, the Mexican fellas, the ones they call Lucha Libre? Seems like they’re a big deal too, but Carlos, he stuck to his own thing in Puerto Rico. Built somethin’ from the ground up, they say. That takes guts, I tell ya. Not everyone can just up and start a whole wrestling empire like that. He must’ve been a tough cookie, that Carlos.
The Colons, they even had a tag team going, the brothers all wrestling together. I guess that’s one way to keep the family close, even if you’re smackin’ each other around in the ring. Wrestling’s a strange business, but folks seem to love it. All that jumpin’ and yellin’ and pretend fightin’. It’s like a soap opera, but with more muscles and less cryin’, I guess.
I saw some pictures of Carlos, and he looks like a strong fella, even in his older days. All those muscles and that serious look on his face. He probably coulda wrestled a bear and won, if he had to. But from what I hear, he was more than just a fighter. He was a businessman, a promoter, a leader. He built something that lasted, something that people still talk about. And that’s more than most folks can say, ain’t it?
So, yeah, Carlos Colon. A Puerto Rican wrestling legend. A family man. A businessman. A tough old bird, I reckon. He might not be a household name everywhere, but down in Puerto Rico, he’s a hero. And that’s somethin’ to be proud of, no matter how you slice it.
Wrestling, it ain’t for the faint of heart, you know? It takes a special kind of person to get in that ring and put their body on the line. And Carlos, he did it for years, and then he built a whole world around it. That’s dedication, that’s passion. That’s what makes a legend, I suppose. So, next time you hear about wrestling, remember the name Carlos Colon. He’s a part of that history, a big part.
And I reckon he wouldn’t want a fancy send-off or nothin’. Just a good ol’ “job well done.” So, Carlos, if you’re listenin’ up there, good job, son. You made somethin’ of yourself, and that’s all that matters.
