Great job on doing your research mark he’s a Los Angeles living legend.
I've been a professional wrestling fan my whole life, I started watching when I was 5, and I'm almost 24 now. I've always been so captivated by the real life emotional stories that these guys tell in the ring. There is nothing fake about it, there is just something magical about being able to follow a conflict of wills as it exists within the squared circle, it is pure inspiration to all who adore it, despite the fact that it is understood by few. Thank you Bobby, and keep doing what you do best😃😃
I love how people in the comments feel the need to say "it's fake", like they just discovered fire. Oh no, so maybe TV shows and movies are also fake? Who knew!
I watched wrestling occasionally on weekends with my grand parents, lol. My Nana loved wrestling and believed in it 100%. I can still hear my father, "Mom, it's not real, they are acting." She would argue back, funny stuff. Years later, a friend of mine explained to me the athleticism of wrestlers and how dedicated they are. Great interview! 💙
When I was a kid my dad used to drag us to wrestling matches in Chattanooga, TN. We also had to listen to it on t.v. every Saturday back then..he loved it. I thought it was funny when you said your father would argue that it's not real because we used to tease my dad and tell him it wasn't real. He would argue that it was. I grew to hate watching it. Funny how I'd give almost anything to have another day with my dad just to watch wrestling with him.
@@moondog9086 I soooooo understand what you are saying. As I was listening to Bobby's interview, tons of family memories were running through my head and I was feeling the same...wishing I could be back there with them again.
I really enjoyed this conversation. I love interviews with experienced wrestlers. They always have the best stories. BTW. RUclips unsubscribed me from your channel. I clicked the subscribe button again. This platform is so broken.
Much RESPECT for Supernatural !!!!! All the hard work , training & commitment shows his true passion for his craft !!! Many Thanks for your interview & inspiration 😺
Solid interview. Kinda refreshing to see someone other than an addict or career victim who refuses to get therapy and thus change the way they think and subsequent behavior.
Wow this man was great. So articulate and clearly a very good and grounded individual. Wish him all the best. Thanks for the eye opening intro to Lucha Libre
Supernatural: The boos are my applause. 👌 What a character. I can't help but think of Nacho Libre - one of my favorite movies of all time. It's so cool how you added your photos at the end, Mark.
Watched the interview from beginning to end. Would've been cool to ask him about his best/ hardest matches, what he's learned from being a wrestler/wrestling coach,etc...
Great interview. The term "fake" is really a misnomer. Yes, the outcomes are predetermined, controlled and the participants are working together in a cooperative fashion to tell a compelling story in order to get the audience emotionally invested. However, the laws of physics do not change just because one is involved in a pro-wrestling match. Gravity is still gravity and Newton's 2nd law of: Force equals Mass times Acceleration is still a physical reality. A 200 lb human being who is flying 12 feet in the air above a cement floor is at risk, as is the opponent being tasked with breaking their fall. Gymnastics is not "fake" just because the gymnast performs a preset routine for the audience. It still takes athletic ability to perform the moves properly. It is much more difficult to make it appear as if you are hurting someone, while actually protecting them, than to actually hurt someone. I have always appreciated the athleticism in Lucha Libre. My only "criticism" of Lucha Libre is that it focuses more on the 'high-spots" than the story-telling and psychology. More down time between spots to let the audience absorb what is happening allows it to "mean something" and also adds to the longevity of the participants since they can actually do less physically (reduce wear and tear), while telling a compelling story.
Claiming OG status because I began watching La Luche way back in 1970 as a kid with my grandma. Mil Mascaras was my favorite. I can also remember Freddie Blassie because he was great at being the "bad guy."
This guy is good! Great storyteller! Really passionate, he seems like he takes care of his opponent. He knows how the industry works. Good interview, SWU!
The passion he has is fantastic in such a difficult industry to get to the top. He's 100% correct about getting over, entertaining, involving the fans, etc....best interview on this channel. Thank you, Mark!
Viva los rudos!!! Hello from louisiana/texas. Been working small indy circuit for 17 years and it took less than a minute to know this is in fact THA GUY. Some talk about it some be about it. I dont even have to see a match to know hes got the gift. And hes very good at talking and expressing himself
He’s a brick wall. You can tell he wants everyone to enjoy and love the experience of the show and the match. He’s got good vibes and I wish the best for everything he does.
As a prowrestler for a profession thank you for this. Many people don’t understand the love and passion we have for this amazing art. I’ve had people tell me I was the highlight of their week.
I remember when I was a little kid and believed this was all really happening for real. Then I became an adult and realized it was fake but these guys were still getting hurt trying to make it seem like it was really happening.
Another great interview for the books!!! This guy has a special soul and enjoyed every minute of him speaking. Thanks again Mark and btw awesome luchador pics you have! Wow I was amazed! And thank you Supernatural for speaking truth-2 Cor 4:18 !!! Amen brother! AMEN!!!!! Blessings to you and your family!
Wrestling was the way it took from my reality it made me think when I was 4 years old and goin thru wat i was goin thru it helped me get thru that cuz i thought i would be a wrestler and im not but it helped me escape and now I think about it all it help me cope with my past my lil mind thinkin ill never let anyone hurt me cuz ill suplex them lol 😅😅 helped so much than i thought
As a 23 year old that can’t find a job and been a fan of wrestling all my life I’m really intrigued about this vid I always wanted to become a wrestler but I feel I dont look the part considering that I’m 5’8 without shoes
DDP was 35 I believe when he started though he's tall. I'm 29 I got a damaged left knee from hitting sidewalk down a hill when I was like 19 may as well when youre young you never know . My life skills teacher in 9th grade told me to join wrestling team he was a body builder from Boston I should have listened ive taken lots ot bumps doing stupid shit and fighting other people and my friends included. May as well. If I can hold a job I may as well try and get back in shape and if I can get in shape to do cardio and pick a guy up we should try ! Watch that movie beyond the mat it's inspiring to get one started .
Bro aint no door mat for sure..he look like a cross between tazz and ivan putski the polish hammer!..had to come back n edit my comment n add one more thing...I Love this man for sayin i try to be humble and read the word of God.. that means alot to me i most certainly appreciate that..this man has got a new fan.. and he does not look 53 yrs old at all no he looks barely forty
I love wrestling. It's an Art. I hate those arrogant people that call it fake. It's not fake, its scripted, not fake. I've been in the ring, it's not a soft mattress, it's like hitting a concrete floor. It's an art learning how to fall. It doesnt matter if it's in a furniture warehouse with 100 people or the staples center with 50 thousand wrestling is a blast.
If anyone is wondering who the wrestlers that you are seeing at the near end of the video are - Put the video on full screen. The names are much more visible on full screen. Take care!

Thank you for speaking up yourself! 🤍 Absolutely fascinating! 🤍
Anywhere I can see his stuff? I've watched some AAA and CMLL, I've never heard of him!
Thank you for confirming his legendary status in the LA circuit. Wrestling truly is an art, physical sacrifice.

I love that Bobby is still in love with what he does since he was 7 years old. Way cool storyteller. Great video!
I love this dude already. Thank you for also interviewing people who exude absolute passion in between the torment

As a life long fan of this business it’s great to sit under the learning tree with Bobby. A credit to Lucha and all pro wrestling worldwide.
His explaining his teaching and the wrestling experience was far more complex than I imagined.
The dude's passion for his art is incredible.
Big love from San Antonio, TX Bobby "Supernatural"!

Who are you to doubt El Dandy?

Solid interview. Kinda refreshing to see someone other than an addict or career victim who refuses to get therapy and thus change the way they think and subsequent behavior.
Love this interview & love when mark shows some of the wrestlers he's photographed 👍✨💪 awesome
I don’t know the guys name for Soft Underbelly but the fact that he used to be a Lucha Libre photographer is fire. Man has lived so many lives
His name is Mark Laita

More of these brother. A lot of us bust our ass for years, but never make it to the level where everyone knows us. This is great.
I was reading up on the Von Erich family and all of a sudden this video pops up.
As a prowrestler for a profession thank you for this. Many people don’t understand the love and passion we have for this amazing art. I’ve had people tell me I was the highlight of their week.
It entertaining but the falls and bumps are real and take their toll.
Grew up going to stampede wrestling in its hayday ! It was amazing in the 1980's , so many great young talented athletes.
Did you see Owen and Benoit?
@@kingwinter2024 yup yup , and the british bulldogs before steroids .
Love it when we can hear about Marks past did not know he photographed wrestling. Love ya champ

Interesting stuff Mr.Supernatural can surely tell a story .
Im listening with earbuds while doing my morning and i keep thinking im listen2to Jack Black interviewing for Nacho Libre😂
Cool interview! I love what he said about being too Mexican for the white crowd and too white for the lucha libre crowd.
Pure passion. It is inspiring ❤
My dad walked in the living room one Saturday afternoon and tried to convince me that TV wrestling was all fake. I just thought, he’s drunk again.
Wrestling was the way it took from my reality it made me think when I was 4 years old and goin thru wat i was goin thru it helped me get thru that cuz i thought i would be a wrestler and im not but it helped me escape and now I think about it all it help me cope with my past my lil mind thinkin ill never let anyone hurt me cuz ill suplex them lol 😅😅 helped so much than i thought
For real
You can still do it why not
I just watch the movie Cassandro and that wresterler was born in Elpaso such an excellent movie.
Please do more wrestlers!
I've been a pro wrestler for 16 years and it's ruined my life
One of the best classic heals ( rudo) !!!
Mark, that was another great interview, but im an soft white underbelly addict.
Me, too. ❤

its all staged. Not real. ITs like a movie. Not the best wins.
Doesnt mean people cant enjoy it.
I watched it a lot in the 80s. Hogan, Piper, Iron Sheik, Macho Man, Andre were great entertainers. Since that era it just isn't that good imo
@@jamiecrawford8133its exactly the same. Your brain is just poisoned with nostalgia
The guy gets into detail and starts whispering until asked a question which he answers with volume in his voice but is soon back to whispering
lmao.... mom was a savage when she stayed neutral.

I still think it’s real. I’m a believer… fabulous to watch these contests.
