Can't believe someone would sit through Smackdown to watch 205 live only to throw a bottle at Kalisto https://t.co/atzEy8iThV

Kalisto
31-year-old Emanuel Alejandro Rodriguez is better known to wrestling fans as Kalisto. He is a 2x United States champion and a former cruiserweight champion as well.
While Kalisto is billed as being from Mexico, he was actually born in Chicago and now lives in Orlando. He did live in Mexico City as a child for a few years, however, and became a big Lucha Libre fan during those years.
