– WrestlingObserver.com is reporting that Victor Resindez (Latin Lover) has retired, making the announcement today after surgery that was required due to a triceps tear. This is one of the biggest wrestling stories to hit mainstream media in Mexico. Resindez said, “I have dedicated 14 years to Lucah Libre and it has given me many satisfactions. But I said a long time ago that the only thing that could make me walk away from the ring was an injury, and unfortunately, now I have one. The moment has come to decide which things mean the most to me.”
