“Even when I was little, I remember that we had to be quiet when he was in the ring. Even when he was in there getting hurt, and we wanted to scream out, ‘Stop, that’s my dad, leave him
alone!’
As an impressionable young girl, it’s hard to understand that it is a wrestler’s job to get hurt. However, it seemed to Paloma that her father was getting attacked inand outside of the ring.
He (THE GREAT GOLIATH ) was nothing like that at home with his family. Paloma remembers her father as a loving manwho never failed to bring gifts from his countrywide and world travels.
“You could never say, ‘I’m bored. He’d say, ‘Oh you’re bored We weren’t allowed just to be sitting idle. We were either always playing outside of the house or working on something.
