Me and my Mom used to go see the wrestling matches in san antonio at "the Wrestlton" when I was a little kid and remember seeing your Dad--he was such an awesome role model to me not only because of his great skill but his presence of clean fighting and fairness and for a little latino kid as my self and others that you can do and accomplish goals in life--he was awesome and also there was no fake bullshit stuff with him--he knew the real art of wrestling Thanks Enrique--
This is classic wrestling at its best...two great wrestlers going at each other...lots of tight punishing holds...so much better than the stuff we're forced to watch on TV these days.
Henry, Ray and Albert Torres were very respected men and wreslers from the San Fernando Valley. Their families were well respected and still are. These brothers encouraged many men and women from the Valley to excel and excede as they did. Henry was Mr.San Fernando Valley-back in the day, that was a big honor.
Thanks for getting back with me, If you do run across any other footage that would be great, or if any other guys have footage of my dad that would be awesome!!!
Awesome match and you must be very proud of your dad man? were you rolling on the ground when you were a kid? Have you ever stepped into the mat with him, to show you the secrets of wrestling?

Jim, thanks for commenting. I think this is the only footage I have of Enrique, but it's also one of my favorite matches.
