El Paso’s own Cinta De Oro, formerly known as WWE wrestler Sin Cara, is set to bring live lucha libre events to downtown El Paso in partnership with the Boys and Girls Club.
Beginning March 22, the monthly event aims to support the club by raising funds while delivering high-energy lucha libre entertainment to the Segundo Barrio community.
This collaboration highlights Cinta De Oro’s commitment to giving back to his hometown, using his platform to promote both the sport and local youth programs.
“I am thankful for everyone who came out and supported this lucha libre event tonight. It was put together with a lot of hard work, love, and dedication,” Cinta De Oro said. “I am grateful that people keep showing up. Tonight was proof that the crowd genuinely enjoyed the event and had great feedback.”
The Boys and Girls Club, a long-standing organization dedicated to providing resources and support for El Paso’s youth, sees this initiative as an opportunity to engage the community and generate crucial funding.
“I want to create consistency with these lucha libre events at the Boys and Girls Club,” Cinta De Oro said. “I’m really excited for the upcoming shows on April 12 and May 22.”
With monthly events planned, the partnership is expected to bring excitement to downtown El Paso while fostering support for young athletes and students in the area.
“I want this promotion to be consistent. I want people to come, enjoy what we do, and keep having fun,” Cinta De Oro said. “I also have more projects in the works, like a wrestling seminar for kids who want to learn this beautiful sport.”
Lucha libre fans and supporters of the Boys and Girls Club can look forward to an ongoing series of action-packed nights featuring both local and international talent.
Cinta De Oro will return on April 12, bringing new wrestlers and continuing his mission to support the club while growing the sport’s local presence.
