Train like the big ones

When we analyze a wrestler´s body, we can see many carrying a prominent belly, but there are some muscled ones with no fat. This is thanks to a rigorous training.

Diet is basic for any sportsman as, in order to perform at maximum, it´s required a high-protein, low-carb diet.

On top of cardio and proper feeding, it is required to make muscular toning work. Generally, when starting a routine it is worked by groups: back, chest, arms and legs. Eventually the routine is divided by smaller muscles: shoulders, biceps, triceps, etcetera.

While running and jump the rope are good cardio exercises, every sport training sets its favorite cardio. For example: soccer players are running all the time and box fighters jump the rope every day.

Exercising helps in many ways: to keep us healthy, to look good, but more important, to make us feel excellent.

Héroes del Ring: a rude online presence.

We got to live in a time when videogame developers are not the stranger and foreign figures they used to be: they are people available at Twitter, Facebook and any other communication way.

The wrestling game Héroes del Ring has a Twitter account (@aaaheroes) where the product is promoted and answers questions from players and potential customers.

Another way where players can manifest their concerns are the forums of Héroes del Ring. These are divided by console and topic, so PlayStation 3 owners can discuss specifically and Xbox 360 likewise.

Lately, the trending topic on the Héroes del Ring social networks is the Aldea Digital 2 promotion because, as the game is going to be at the event, tickets are being given away so users can assist.

Few games maintain their online presence after they hit the shelves and, in that aspect, Héroes del Ring has set a sample.

Héroes del Ring blog: beyond the ring

It´s usual for the big brand games to have dedicated blogs to discuss the title itself and, of course, Héroes del Ring has a blog of it own.

Is not surprising for the Héroes del Ring game to be the main subject on its blog, but it is not only "buy it, buy it" what is it said there, good posts are written too, as the one focused on the history mode on the title.

Likewise, the Héroes del Ring blog goes beyond what competes it and approaches topics related directly to wrestling, like the article that discusses the masks tradition in Mexican wrestling.

Beyond the game and wrestling, the Héroes del Ring blog also has articles covering videogame industry events like the Electronic Game Show.

Blogs like the one of Héroes del Ring are not usual since it is not only used to promote the title, since it was created as a resource for both wrestling and videogames fans.

Héroes del Ring; beyond the history mode

Video games aren't cheap, that´s why several game modes are added to them to increase playability. Of course, Héroes del Ring has several modes to add value to it.

Unlike the other fighting titles, Héroes del Ring lacks of a versus mode per se, but it has the mode of Battle for the Pride where up to four players can fight each other mimicking the Fatal Four battle.

It is also usual that fighting games include a "tournament" mode, where several characters (either controlled by the user or the console) fight. In Héroes del Ring, the "tournament" was replaced by King of Kings, where up to eight people can participate.

Along the history mode, characters, video testimonials and biographies of Triple A characters are unblocked. Héroes del Ring has a mode where that collection of unlockable items can be found: Extras.

With modes that goes from campaign for one player thru eight-player tournament, Héroes del Ring has plenty to offer.

Mexican wrestling: Sports watershed

Wrestling is a type of unarmed combat that's been practiced since the beginning of human kind. The first evidence of this sport's existence in Egypt is dated on 2300 BC when some art imprinting ferocious combats was created.

Meanwhile, Mexican wrestling is a separated category, in a way that when they talk about this sport in USA, they call it "lucha libre" and in Mexico is not only a sport: it's a theatrical activity that involves the eternal fight of the good against evil embodied by masked beings that perform acrobatics both on the canvas and in the air.

Wrestling was brought to Mexico by Giovanni Relesevitch in 1910 and it was until 1933 when the first Mexican company was founded: the today named as Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre. On the early 90's, the Triple A was founded and, besides these two companies, exist the International Wrestling Revolution Group and Alianza Universal de Lucha Libre.

It was during the 40's and 70's decades when the audience was over wrestling because, besides the night broadcasts on TV, they had movies starred by El Santo and other movie stars. Getting fed up of the same, spectators got away from wrestling until Triple A appeared and capitalized the show-sport with new characters.

Wrestling evolution goes hand in hand with Mexican wrestling, since this one was a groundbreaker that set the basis of the modern show-sport. Logically, the activity will make its path and, of course, there will be the Mexican wrestlers to make their own.

Masks: a synonym of Mexican Wrestling

When we think about Mexican wrestling, the first that comes to mind is a parade of masks allusive to wild beasts and mystic beings. This is justified precisely because, the mask is the symbol of wrestling, our true national sport.

Curiously, the first wrestler using a mask during a combat was a north American known as Ciclón McKey. Six years later, in 1939, the rude Murciélago Velázquez would be the first Mexican covering his face to give his character a funeral look.

In Mexico, the combats where the masks are bet are common and losing them is a serious business, since not only the face and the name of the fighter is revealed, but he can't use it in combat for three years, according to the rulebook from the Comisión de Box y Lucha Libre.

Wrestlers not only create characters: they create emporiums and, as such, can be inherited from father to sons. Dr. Wagner left his name and mask to his son, Dr. Wagner Jr and this one, in turn, yielded his fame to his son, The Son Of Dr. Wagner Jr., there may be nicknames added, but all are identified with the name Wagner,

Technics are the closer we have to superheroes and the rudes are the closer we have to super villains. Without their masks the will only be fighters like the ones in box that, although respectable, they are not as enigmatic.
