Fray Tormenta

Sergio Gutiérrez Benítez (born May 9, 1945) is a Mexican Catholic priest who founded and supported an orphanage for 23 years as a lucha libre wrestler. While performing, he wore a red and yellow mask and used the ring name Fray Tormenta ("Friar Storm"). He made only sporadic in-ring appearances in the 2000s before retiring completely from wrestling in July 2011, but he still wears his mask even in his duties as a priest. Fray comes from the latin frater, which translates to brother, and has as its English equivalent in this context friar. Mendicant orders, such as Franciscans and Dominicans, in former Spanish colonies like in Latin America put Fray before their religious name.
