WWE has dropped brand new El Grande Americano merchandise for fans to grab.
WWE Shop is currently selling Americano ring singlets in three different colors across a range of sizes.
The official description for the merchandise reads:
“¡Viva El Grande Americano! Show your support for the masked marvel by snagging this El Grande Americano Heritage In-Ring Singlet from ProSphere. Sublimated Superstar graphics are printed across the front and back of this eye-catching singlet, which is crafted from 100% polyester for maximum comfort and flexibility. Grab this singlet and feel as though you could deliver a flying headbutt or any number of Americanoâ€s showstopping Lucha Libre maneuvers to anyone who stands in your way.â€
El Grande has emerged as one of the more prominently featured stars on WWE television. He is already incredibly popular in Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, receiving babyface reactions from live crowds despite being portrayed as a heel.
Cody Rhodes praises El Grande Americano
Speaking on on All The Smoke podcast, Cody Rhodes said the gimmick couldâ€ve been a “death sentence†for any other wrestler, but the person behind the mask turned it into something special.
“Thatâ€s always a big thing in wrestling,†Rhodes said. “Take something thatâ€s always a little silly, and then you blow it up. El Grande Americanoâ€s a guy we got right now, who is doing this exact thing. Heâ€s taken something that could have been a death sentence for another wrestler and is just making it special, and they donâ€t mean it to be a death sentence, but they mean it to be a challenge.†[H/T: Cultaholic]
