Honestly? I dunno. That’s a *huge* shoe to fill. Latin Lover was, like, a freakin’ *legend*. Charisma oozing from every pore, the moves… the *hair*. It was a whole package. So, is Valentino got that? Maybe? The reports say he’s got the “carisma, porte, y un físico impresionante.” Okay, okay, impressive physique, got it. Charisma… that’s harder to quantify, right? You gotta *feel* it.
And “porte”? What even IS that? Is that like, good posture? Does he stand up straight? Look, I’m nitpicking. The point is, AAA is clearly banking on him. They wouldn’t be pushing him so hard if they didn’t think he had *something*.
BUT… I’m seeing some mentions of “cheap Valentino” online… and a random Valentino Instagram account with like, hardly any posts. This is where things get confusing. Is there a connection? Is someone trying to capitalize on the name? (Probably.) Or is it just a coincidence?
I’m tellin’ ya, the wrestling world is a wild place. So many twists and turns, so many feuds… both in and out of the ring. You never really know what’s real and what’s just part of the show.
