Business partners may be dumping Trump in the wake of his latest controversy, but “the Donald” does have one offer on the table. Luchador and TNA X-Division Champion Tigre Uno, who resides in Tijuana, Mexico, has had enough of Donald Trump and he is not going to take it! Following days of wall-to-wall media coverage on Trump’s anti-immigrant comments about Mexicans, Tigre Uno is fed up and is standing up for the heritage and people of the nation he proudly represents each week on IMPACT WRESTLING, which airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Destination America.
In a series of tweets that lit up the wrestling Twittersphere last night, the magnanimous Mexican wrestling icon shared that he is fighting mad about Trump’s incendiary remarks against Mexican people.
He estado callado demasiado tiempo! @fightbobby dile a tuamigo @realDonaldTrump que me siento orgulloso de mi país! Mi gente! Mi cultura!

Translation: I’ve been silent long enough! @fightbobby tell your good friend @realDonaldTrump that I am proud of my country. My people. My culture.
Voy a arreglar esto yo mismo! @realDonaldTrump si usted es lo suficientemente hombre para enfrentarse conmigo me encuentro @impactwrestling

Translation: I’ll fix this myself. @realDonaldTrump if you are man enough to face me I am @IMPACTWRESTLING #TigreVsTrump
Following the tweets, TNA executives reached out to the usually mild-mannered Tigre to ensure the legitimacy of the posts. In addition to confirming he authored the tweets, Tigre plans to address his fans, the people of Mexico and Trump directly on the all-new episode of IMPACT WRESTLING that will air Wednesday, July 22 at 9/8c on Destination America.
