Congratulations to @ThatLukeGibbons on his victory* at (potentially) the Fall FGC at Rivendell and to @Freddiekealey for relieving @FGCPommie of the Merman Trophy and Richard shirt. A great couple of days. Thanks to @StevePo95715331 for hosting and ciphering. ⛳️🏌️♂️🏆 🩸
Last night, one of the greatest professional wrestling storylines I’ve ever seen reached its conclusion in Mexico.
I’ve watched wrestling for nearly 40 years, and the story of El Grande Americano became so much more than a wrestling angle.
Here’s my attempt to explain why. 🧵

In lucha libre, there is no greater prize than a championship and no greater loss than a mask.
A mask carries history. Legacy. Sometimes generations of tradition.
For a story built around identity, ownership, and belonging, there was only one ending:
Máscara contra máscara.
26
In lucha libre, there is no greater stake than your mask.
No championship. No trophy. No accomplishment.
Just your identity.
So there was only one way this story could end.
17
When the original returned to reclaim El Grande Americano, he discovered something he never expected.
The mask no longer belonged to him.
It belonged to the people.
33
That’s when the story stopped being about Chad Gable or Ludwig Kaiser.
It became about who truly was El Grande Americano.
The creator. The performer. Or the fans who gave the mask its meaning?
68
He didn’t just wear the mask.
He embraced Mexico. The language. The culture. The fans.
And somehow, the replacement became more beloved than the original.
32
Then came Ludwig Kaiser.
A phenomenal wrestler who always seemed one step away from a breakout, but never quite got there.
When he inherited the mask, something unexpected happened.
58
What made El Grande Americano fascinating is that it began as a joke.
An over-the-top parody created by Chad Gable, an Olympic wrestler whose WWE career felt like it had stalled despite being one of the most talented performers on the roster.
55
To understand why this story resonated, you first need to understand lucha libre.
In Mexican wrestling, a mask isn’t just part of a costume. It’s identity. Legacy. Family history.
Sometimes, the mask becomes bigger than the person wearing it.

Abbey Murphy (@usahockey) is a hell of a player, likely the future of the women’s game but the diving is an embarrassment to the game.

#allcaps Jakob Chychrun on track for a second straight 20-goal season from the blue line. That was a bomb.

You hear Costco is great. One friend describes it as a 'shopping Disney World'. You start thinking about it. You have some extra cash. You decide to try it out, you'll save that much money in gas anyway! What's the worst that can happen?--

Sounds like another great @ClubEG_golf @SunScramble finish. Good luck, all! Always great to see @allenmcgeegolf and Hunter pushing the pace. Best #Ottawa tournament of the year. Every year. I bet 1000$ on @rick_gibbons and @ThatLukeGibbons to win their flight! Go boys!
A hole-in-one, a round of 59 and a tight race in the Star Motors Open among the highlights of @SunScramble Friday at Hylands. @ClubEG_golf @ClubEGJamie
