46:03on
46:03on
46:04on
46:15The matchup was even more grueling than we expected.
46:20Both the original El Grande Americano and El Grande Americano,
46:26alongside Julio and Bruto and Rayo and Bravo.
46:30Chaos would ensue, but it was all about pride.
46:35It was about being the one and only El Grande Americano.
46:41The original's past would come back to haunt him on multiple occasions.
46:46First Ojitos, then Pimpinella Escarata,
46:51then eventually Andrea Bazzarte at ringside.
46:56But the running headbutt seals the fate.
47:00Of the original El Grande Americano.
47:04Who rallied for his people.
47:07For his country.
47:10For the culture of Mexico.
47:13For the world of lucha libre.
47:18The original El Grande Americano exhausted each and every option.
47:23But the closing moments.
47:26Poetic, some might say.
47:30We have all been living through a real-life lucha libre love story
47:38that culminated tonight in mask versus mask in Monterrey, Mexico.
47:52There can only be one, and there he stands.
47:58The one and only, El Grande Americano.
48:03Después de esta batalla de máscara contra máscara,
48:10vamos a tener que conocer
48:12el nombre, los datos, y el rostro del original El Grande Americano.
48:20We are about to discover the real name
48:25of the original.
48:27Please, please.
48:30Allow me a few moments to say a few things, please.
48:35Please.
48:36Por favor, por favor, permítame el momento de decir algunas cosas.
48:43I put on this mask to go on a quest to learn the art of lucha libre
48:49so I could defeat all the luchadores in the world that I hated, hated, hated.
48:58Me puse esta máscara para iniciar un viaje
49:01y para aprender todas las artes de la lucha libre
49:04y vencer a los luchadores que tanto odio.
49:09And in that process, on my journey,
49:11I learned everything there was to know about lucha libre,
49:14about Mexico,
49:17about AAA, the Mexican people,
49:19and the Mexican culture.
49:34And I'm man enough to admit,
49:36I stand here today in front of you,
49:38not as a mask,
49:39but as a man.
49:43Tengo que admitir
49:45que hoy me encuentro aquí ante todos ustedes,
49:48no como una máscara,
49:50sino como un hombre.
49:52And it pains me to say this.
49:55It hurts me bad,
49:57but with all the honor in the world,
49:58I'll say that tonight,
50:00I could not overcome the Mexican spirit.
50:04Y hoy debo de reconocer
50:07que no puedo
50:09sobrepasar
50:09ese espíritu mexicano.
50:12But understand this.
50:15I will always be
