Yet, back in the 1950s, the major stars of the federation that was 
eventually to become the WWE were Antonino Rocca (Italian, but raised in 
Argentina) and Miguel Perez (Puerto Rican).

Well, actually, Rocca was the star, and they teamed him with Perez to 
draw the Puerto Rican audience, which was a significant portion of their 
house-draw in both NYC and Washington DC.  But this did serve to raise 
Perez to main event status.
