Once youre up in the ring, everything is very real.
Once I step in the ring, Im like, I'm Luna now.
I am not Ashley Soto anymore.
I'm Luna, and I have to try and do my best.
To most of you guys it might be flippity-flippy.
But it's storytelling at its best.
Of course, with ruthless aggression.
What's been keeping me coming back to the sport all these 15 years is seeing all new people coming up and giving them a little bit of our culture, which is more important to us right now.
The fanbase in Denver, it's amazing because there's a lot of people from Mexico and they see what they see over there.
So they can shout whatever they want, take pictures.
Kids are really excited, little kids with masks.
What I love about lucha libre is its Mexican culture.
I just feel like it's amazing.
The flips, the running ropes.
Its what makes it special, especially for me, since I watched it since I was like a little girl.
I feel like it has, like, a special place in my heart.
