Living in Peru : your everyday companion

Living in Peru
Israel J. Ruiz

Thousands of Peruvian wrestling fans gathered at the National Stadium in Lima on Thursday night to see their favorite WWE stars in action.

Approximately 15,000 wrestling fans enthusiastically yelled at the top of their lungs after Mr. Kennedy challenged the audience to be the loudest fans in this year's SummerSlam tour.

The majority of the crowd was made up of minors, who were dazzled and amazed as superstars John Cena and HHH battled throughout the ring, jumping off top ropes and violently slamming into each other.

It was not all cheers, however.

There was a shocking moment of silence when wrestler Carlitos, who was in Lima just weeks earlier promoting the tour, challenged any Peruvian to get in the ring with him.

There were no volunteers.

The show did not end with men's wrestling. The "Beautiful Divas of Wrestling" were also present, showing their strength, moves and special holds.

One of the evening's highlights was the match between Mickie James and Marella.

Fans were also delighted and shouted ecstatically when the Peruvian flag was waved around the ring after a fight between Chris Jericho and the Heart Break Kid.
