Almost four years had passed since he wore a mask for the first time. The Lynx Mask brought him success and glory. He fought in Japan, under the “Lynx” moniker for many months and was successful, the fans loved him, and the fighters in the locker room respected him and his fighting style. Then MJPW closed its doors and Eron Hunter traveled the world and fought many battles. He considered himself a puroresu specialist, people considered him a gifted fighter. He slowly got rid of the Lynx mask, and fought as Eron Hunter for quite some time…
He stood on the balcony, looking at the city streets, lost in thoughts.
Mexico, he had never been here before.
Eron Hunter was a traveler; he left home at the age of sixteen and saw many cities and traveled a lot of lands, by foot or by random vehicles. He traveled Europe all around, always looking for a way to hone his fighting skills, always looking to achieve his dreams, be they long-lasting ones or impulses of the moment.
Now, after all these years, his travels and his wish to improve brought him to Mexico. In his inquiries about fighting arenas and wrestling federations, he stumbled upon this small indy federation called Lucha Subterranea Azteca!
Eron Hunter, or Lynx if you want to call him that way, was a renowned superstar in Canada by now. He and the group of fighters in NPW made NPW´s rise towards federation stardom possible. The federation was in everyone´s eyes to see, by now.
Eron Hunter had found a home.
But being the traveler he was, he was always looking for more.
Thus he found LSA.
Eron had always been fascinated by the Mexican Wrestling Passion. The “Lucha Libre” as they called it, had won over the people´s hearts. Lucha Libre was a national sport by now. People loved it, big or small, old or young; they all watched the Luchadore and cheered them on.
Eron was interested in expanding his vast arsenal of fighting knowledge. He wanted more; he wanted to know as much as possible. Thus he decided to inquire about the possibilities of joining the LSA.
And there he was.
Mexico.
The place of Tequila, Mariachi Bands and Mayan Temples
People are poor but welcoming and warmhearted. They accept foreigners in their land, be they, tourists or new permanent residents. Mexican people know what it means to be a stranger in a strange land. Due to poverty, they have traveled seas and oceans, passed through barbed wire and artificial walls, to fight for a new, better future.
Eron knew he would immediately feel at home in Mexico. It reminded him of South Italy, of Sicily, people were poor…
…But welcoming and warmhearted.
He knew what sacrifices people had done and gone through, to survive, to follow their dreams. Just like him. Just like Eron Hunter.
And thus he signed a contract with LSA.
And there he was, ready to fight for this new company
Ready to fight for the Mexican Fans.

The scene opens up in a locker room. A man is sitting in front of the camera, wearing a Black Feline Mask. It´s Jaguar, LSA´s newest signee. He crosses his arms on his chest and, after a few deep breaths, starts speaking in a calm, deep tone.
“What can a man do, to achieve his dreams? What can he do, to solidify his way of life and his beliefs? What sacrifices can a man go through, so that he can achieve what he wants, in life?
Must man make compromises, to survive? I think so. We come pure, in this life, but we slowly but irremediably make mistakes, thus we need to make compromises and accept them to live our lives and achieve our goals.
But do we need order and law in our life and our existence? Do we have to respect rules so that we can live in peace and get what we want? I think so. Man must obey the law; man must inherit rules and accept them.
Otherwise, if we have no rules and laws, all we would come to would be Anarchy and its consequences. Some say Anarchy is great, freedom of action and behavior as much as you want. But I ask, what would unlimited freedom bring? Unlimited freedom of action, what does that mean?
Doesn´t that mean that you act without fear and, worse, without respect for the well-being of others and their freedom? I guess so. I understand that, and I also know that a man´s freedom ends, where another human being´s freedom is violated.
I am proud to consider myself a dreamer, but I also know that man needs order and law to enjoy his life and his dreams. If anarchy rules the land, all that happens is that someone takes the liberty to pursue his freedom of action, without respect for the well-being of others...
..And that brings chaos.
That brings violence.
Adam Tyrell.
You and I have some things in common; we both fight for what we believe and are ready to go that extra mile, just so that we can achieve what we want. But there is something in which we differ.
I have respect for rules and for those that are there to make so that these rules are upheld. You, on the other side, will stop in front of nothing just so that you get things going your way. Will you go that extra mile, on the wrong side, so that you can achieve your dreams?
I am pretty sure you consider yourself a man of Dignity, but I ask of you; is the way you view things and the will to stop in front of nothing any different from the view of any Tyrant out there or any other Anarchist? Are you different from someone that violates other people´s dreams just so that you can achieve yours?
We both are dreamers, Adam Tyrell, but we differ in substantial things. You take power from your anger, when confronted and put in your place, I take power from the respect I have for my heartfelt passion for the fight and the adrenaline rush I get when confronted with people…
..As talented as they might be.
I am sure you are talented, Tyrell. From what I have seen of you, I say I respect your fighting skills and your inner power. Yet, although I respect your fighting skills, I must say I do not agree with the way you lead your life and the way you act in front of many things.
We are both skilled, Tyrell.
Where we differ is in the source of our power.
I take might from the idea that something as pure as Dreams need all possible sacrifices.
You take might from the idea that you can sacrifice anyone and everything just so that you get what you want.
We are both Dreamers, Adam, yet one Dream is going to tread on its breaks, in our upcoming fight. Which one will it be?
Will it be Jaguar?
Will it be Adam Tyrell?
The next fight will tell the tale.”
Jaguar leans back keeping his arms crossed on his chest, while the scene fades slowly to black
