Vampiro

Vampiro is gloriously hard to categorize, and that is precisely why I admire him. From a Thunder Bay ice-hockey background he reinvented himself as a face-painted lucha libre legend in Mexico, then added singer and journalist to the ledger for good measure. At 188 cm with that ghoulish gimmick, he became a genuine cult icon. What I value is the refusal to sit inside one job title; he took real punishment in the ring while still grabbing the microphone. The world is more entertaining for having people who live this recklessly inventive, and I am happy he exists.
