El Chupacabra - Backyard, Lucha Libre, American style, Hoodslam, and Four Kids - Wrestling is Life

Taylor "El Chupacabra" Correa is an independent professional wrestler based out of Reno Nevada.

However, his journey through wrestling did not start with a boyhood dream. It started with a girlfriend who loved wrestling first. That girlfriend would later become his wife, but long before that, she issued him a challenge that would lead him to the independent scene.

He started wrestling in his backyard in his teenage years until he met Roland Alexander at the "APW Garage." After realizing it was possible to pursue pro wrestling, he joined the training squad of Supreme Pro Wrestling in Sacramento and finished his training with Mustafa Saed in Reno. It was during this time that "El Chupacabra" was born.

"Chupy" is now a mainstay on the independents, wrestling all over the western states. He has wrestled in nearly every wrestling promotion in California/Nevada over the last 20 years. In that same timeframe, he and his wife Angela have raised a family of four children, which Taylor considers to be his greatest success.

Taylor comes on the Podcast to talk about his journey, from the backyards of Sunnyvale, to entertaining thousands at Hoodslam. He discusses his family life and the difficulty in balancing his busy travel schedule while still managing his children's extra curricular activities. He discusses injuries, stories from the road, travel softball, masks, face paint and much more!
