THROUGH HIS WORK as a webmaster, Rosalío Vera has become one of the principal disseminators of the image of Mexican wrestling in the world, with the site he manages receiving an average of 80,000 hits daily.

He shares the website project with his son Litok Vera, also a photographer whose images appear there: www.cmll.com
