Trivia

• The word "luchador" translates literally to "fighter", although it can also mean "wrestler".
• The description references the Template:W, a confrontation between USA and USSR in October of 1962 after it came to light that the Soviet government was secretly building nuclear missile bases in Cuba. It is considered that the Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest the world ever came to nuclear war.
