2023 Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame - Round 1

Esquelito

Esquelito
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: Nacho Libre (2006)
  • Actor/Actress: Hector Jiménez
  • Why you should vote:: This may be one of the better wrestling sidekicks ever.
  • Why you should not vote:: Does that qualify him for the Hall of Fame?
  • Many of the laughs that came from the inconsistent Jack Black effort, Nacho Libre, came from his tag team partner, the uber-thin Esquelito, played by Hector Jiménez. Jiménez has been tabbed as the Mexican Steve Buscemi (which is a compliment or an insult depending on your point of view), and we can’t imagine anyone else playing the sidekick here. Again, as with our commentary on Jack Black’s role, we still aren’t sure what we think of this movie, and wonder how much support either Esquelito or Ignacio will get.
