Charro

Description

El Rayo de Jalisco (Máximo Linares Moreno, 1932–2018)
gets immortalized in this piece by navarrorosales.
He wasn’t just a lucha libre legend in Jalisco,
but all across the country.
His story isn’t just in the ring—
it’s in the movies, too.
The agave leaves behind him bring to mind tequila—
Mexico’s iconic drink and the charro’s beverage of choice.
And that’s the charro hat he’s wearing,
while flashing the famous “horns” hand sign
rocker Ronnie James Dio turned into a heavy metal symbol.
With that,
El Rayo becomes timeless—
as alive and universal as metal itself.
