“I mean, this dream stuff, and this kind of audience reach is crazy. It’s not a wrestling fan base. It’s everybody. They all get a taste of it,” said Mr. Happy.

The match ended with a bit of controversy when Macho Libre used Mr. Happy’s toy horse as a weapon and knocked him out; the referee disqualified Macho Libre, giving Mr. Happy the victory.
