At first glance, wrestling and Cinco de Mayo may not seem connected. One’s about intense training, sweat, and battle on the mat. The other’s a cultural celebration of victory, heritage, and pride.

But if you look closer, wrestling and Cinco de Mayo are more alike than you’d think.

Both Are About the Fight

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the underdog victory of Mexico over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla — a moment when heart, strategy, and unity triumphed over overwhelming odds.
Sound familiar?

That’s every wrestler’s story. Being the underdog. Fighting uphill battles. Staying locked in when no one thinks you’ve got a chance. On the mat or on the battlefield — victory always starts with belief.

It’s About Heart and Heritage

Wrestlers carry tradition. Whether it’s your team, your school, your family — you wrestle for more than yourself. Cinco de Mayo is the same: a reminder of cultural pride, of people coming together to honor resilience and history.

Wrestling teaches us to fight for what matters. So does Cinco de Mayo.

Celebration Through Strength

Cinco de Mayo isn’t just about the past — it’s about celebrating strength, identity, and progress. Wrestling, too, is a celebration: of how far you’ve come, of what you’ve survived, and of who you’ve become through the grind.

So whether you’re wearing a singlet or waving a flag — remember:

Both wrestling and Cinco de Mayo are about fighting with pride, overcoming the odds, and honoring something greater than yourself.

💥 Wrestlers celebrate through the grind.
🎉 Cinco de Mayo celebrates through spirit.
Together? That’s unstoppable energy.
