Mr. Solis and Asbury Park Middle School students
While the students were watching the match, they could not believe that Merced Solis was sitting in their classroom. To the students surprise, Mr. Solis defeated the Undertaker one, two, and three. After showing the match, Mr. Solis gave a lecture about his career in the NFL and WWE as well as his education. He informed the students on both ends, in Ghana and MLK Middle School, that in order to succeed in life you must work hard. Mr. Solis also explained that life would always be tough but you must learn to work through the hard times. In addition, he answered numerous questions regarding his WWE career. He told all students he was a two time WWE Intercontinental Champion, WWE World Tag Team Champion on numerous occasions, and the ECW World Champion. Mr. Solis also told the students about wrestling with Mr. Perfect, Curt Henning, Hulk Hogan, Demolition, and car pulling with Andre the Giant. All students were amazed by his presentation and were very fortunate to take numerous pictures with him.
Special Thanks goes to Sherie Love, Spanish teacher, for allowing Mr. Solis to do observations of her Spanish classes.
