Mexico City – September 20, 2024 — In a thrilling homage to the past, CMLL (Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre) celebrated Dia de la Lucha Libre by resurrecting a legendary meme that has captured the hearts of wrestling fans worldwide. On the night of September 20, renowned luchador Último Guerrero delivered a dropkick reminiscent of his unforgettable moment from years ago, this time targeting Kemalito, in a spectacle that left the audience in stitches.
For those unfamiliar with the meme’s origin, it dates back to a previous encounter where Último Guerrero launched KeMonito, a beloved mascot known for his comedic antics, off the ring apron. That iconic moment became viral, transforming KeMonito into an internet sensation. Fast forward to this week, and the atmosphere was electric as Guerrero revisited this classic scene, complete with an updated twist.
This year, Guerrero’s target was Kemalito, another cherished character in the lucha libre world. The reenactment not only paid tribute to the original moment but also emphasized a safer landing. Atlantis Jr. and Titan were strategically positioned on the floor, ensuring Kemalito’s fall was cushioned, showcasing a commitment to safety without sacrificing entertainment.
The timing of this revival couldn’t have been more perfect. September 21 marks Dia de la Lucha Libre, a day celebrated throughout Mexico to honor the rich tradition of professional wrestling. Fans and fellow wrestlers alike reveled in the nostalgia, with social media platforms buzzing with clips of the reenactment.
Último Guerrero, whose real name is José Gutiérrez Hernández, is a staple in the CMLL roster. He has held multiple championships, including the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship and NWA World Historic Middleweight Championship. With a career spanning over three decades, Guerrero has consistently captivated audiences with his charisma and skill.
The resurgence of the meme highlights the unique culture surrounding lucha libre, where humor and tradition intertwine. It demonstrates how wrestlers like Guerrero not only create memorable moments in the ring but also contribute to a larger narrative that resonates with fans, both young and old.
As the crowd erupted in laughter and applause, the event served as a reminder that in the world of lucha libre, the line between reality and entertainment is often blurred. Ultimo Guerrero’s dropkick was more than just a move; it was a celebration of history, a nod to the past, and an affirmation of the enduring spirit of lucha libre.
