Lucha Libre x Masked Man x Stole Rhapsody [Part 2]

Hello, I am a monkey living in Oaxaca.

This is the second part of the story about the stole I threw at a luchador.

I arrived in Oaxaca and discovered that my stole had been left behind at Arena Puebla.

This is a disaster!
The probability of finding something lost in Mexico is close to zero.

It was just past 9:00 AM.

I sent a message to the owner of Arena Puebla
via WhatsApp.

Excuse me. This is the monkey from Oaxaca.
You gave me this number a long time ago regarding some work.

Actually, I heard that the stole I threw at the wrestler Esfinge during yesterday's match was handed over to an Arena Puebla security guard.

I live in Oaxaca, but it is a precious handmade stole.
Could you please check if it is there, and if possible, let me know?

I also attached a screenshot from X as proof.

The owner replied immediately.

I'll check, so wait a moment.

A few hours later.

I found it.
They said if you come to the office at 2:00 PM next Monday, they can give it to you.

However, even though it is a precious stole, here I am thinking...

Hmm. I might not be able to go to Puebla, which costs over 1000 pesos round trip...
(No, you should go!)

That's it! I'll ask my friend Gon-chan, the mask maker, to go pick it up.
(Hey!)

I asked the owner if it would be okay for a friend to pick it up.

He said it was fine, but asked for their full name.

Ah. That's a relief.
It looks like it might work out!!

I contacted Gon-chan.
Understood! I'll go pick it up this coming Monday.

And, one week later.

I was busy and couldn't go,
so I had my sister go instead.

I was turned away at the entrance.

W-h-a-t???

Are you serious?

Here we go! The Mexican hellish game of telephone? Lol
It is common in this country that information doesn't always reach the people on the ground.

It was during a match on Monday, but feeling sorry for the intrusion, I DM'd the owner about the situation.

The voice message I got back was

I'm busy right now, so do it later.
I guess they were too busy to even type out a message.

I am truly sorry for the persistent contact while you are busy.

So, I'll be quiet for now and
wait for a reply to the DM I sent.

A few days later, I received a response.
At this point, it was early September.

After exchanging a few messages, finally

On the day of the next Arena Puebla Day of the Dead show,
I was to pick it up at the office at 12:30 PM.

A few weeks later, October 27th.
I need to arrive in Puebla before 12:30 PM, so I left Oaxaca on the 6:00 AM bus.

I arrived before 12:00 PM without being late.

And, I safely received the stole from the security guard.

Seriously, thank you so much!!!!

It's just a small token, but
I brought cookies from a bakery in Oaxaca as a gift.

I couldn't meet the owner, but
I asked them to please pass the cookies along.

I'm so relieved.
I got the stole back!!! Woohoo!

I'm feeling so happy now!
I took a commemorative photo with the stole out of pure joy.

The match starts at 20:00, so I'll stroll through the streets of Puebla, which are decorated beautifully for the Day of the Dead.

I'll check out the free exhibition of
Huichol bead art.

I was in such a great mood that I even had a
10-peso soft serve ice cream from McDonald's.

I also visited the cathedral.

I had a steak lunch.

I waited for the wrestlers to arrive at 3:00 PM.

I stopped by the folk art market.

I had my shoes shined.

I had a light taco dinner.

I enjoyed the Day of the Dead show, which you can only see once a year.

I thoroughly enjoyed Puebla and
took an overnight bus back to Oaxaca.

What I confirmed again through this incident is that CMLL is not only Mexico's largest Lucha Libre organization, but also a very reliable organization in terms of its management system.

This incident was one where it wouldn't have been strange at all if a security guard had thought, 'I don't know whose this is, so I might as well take it.'
(Hey! Watch your language!)

It was a god-tier response for the security guard to keep the stole at the venue until the next day.

The owner, despite being busy,
took action, which was a god-tier response.

As expected, when something happens, it's best to ask the head of the company.
(Who do you think you are?)

And, the biggest realization from this time is...

Anything you throw at a masked wrestler
should be something you don't mind losing. Lol

Like a bandana, a T-shirt, or a towel, perhaps?

Absolutely! Do not throw in your favorite item.

And above all, I am truly grateful that something lost in Mexico came back to me this time.

It's a miracle! Or rather,

If you had just been waiting at the venue from the start, this situation wouldn't have happened. Haha.

And that's all for now.
