A legend passes away

[NewsWhore]

Jose Manuel Guzman Marte is a name unknown to 99.9% of the Dominican population over 40 years of age. However, the name "Relampago Hernandez" is and was known to 100% of all Dominicans in the 1970s and 80s. "Lightning Hernandez" was the arch-villain in the weekly televised wrestling matches with the super hero Jack Veneno. Each week at 5pm on Saturday, people would stream into the relatively few houses with television antennas to watch the show. You could almost set your watch by the way people moved in those days. Relampago was supposed to celebrate his 60th birthday today, but instead his humble family in Las Caobas will bury him. He passed away yesterday from a heart condition that left him deep in debt and subsisting on the money he earned as a deacon in his church of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
