Wrestler's Name: El Guapo
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 240 pounds
Affiliation: Face
Weight Class: Heavyweight
Gimmick: Essentially, an old forgotten Luchador, trying to get back into things.
Hometown/Residing: Originally from Ocosingo, Mexico, now residing wherever FGA is settled.
Entrance Music: 'Hotel California', by the Gipsy Kings.
Pro Debut: 1979 (Literally, a week later it officially became 1980)
Pic Base: Dr. Wagner, Jr.
Fighting Style: Lucha Libre, so think mainly a blend of technical wrestling, some high flying, and lately a bit of brawling.
Finishing Moves:
'Guapo Drop'(El Guapo grabs the opponent around the waist, hoisting them up. That done, he runs toward the corner, jumps up, plants his feet on the second turnbuckle and 'leaps' off, hitting the opponent with a more intense kind of Flapjack.)
¡Qué?! (To land this, Guapo can jump or springboard from the ropes, or he can dive from a turnbuckle, or whatever is available to leap off at the time. What it is, is a jumping, rolling sunset flip, fast enough to hit like a powerbomb, and Guapo holds the opponent tight for a pinfall. Obviously if there's no pinfall to be had, he won't bother with this.)
Trademark Moves
Alabama Slam(Aka the Concrete Slam. El Guapo spins a little before hitting this, hitting it a little harder and faster in the process, but also something the opponent quickly gets up from. The reason he does it this way, is because it's usually a setup to ¡Qué?!)
Bad Yoga (This is a combination of moves. Guapo hits a snapmare, so that the opponent is left in a sitting position. That done, Guapo grabs their arms and flips over in a form of Cattle Mutilation, but while the opponent is still sitting down, instead of laying. This usually makes their nose touch the mat, or close to it. While an effective submission, Guapo rarely holds this long enough to score a definite submission victory, but it's still nice to do a little damage.)
Futbal combo (He doesn't do this unless he's seriously pissed at a guy, but first he gets the opponent in the corner, and without warning hits a lightning quick, fucking vicious series of soccer kicks to their legs, rights and legs just battering the shit out of the guy's legs. Again, he's usually laid back, so this doesn't happen often...but it is an event.)
Brainbuster (No fluff here, just a brainbuster. I love that move.)
Common Moves
Senton Flips (He usually hits these to a standing opponent. Can hit them running, can vault over the ropes with them, can dive off the turnbuckles, whatever. They are beautiful.)
Dropkicks (Again, he can hit a large variety of dropkicks, no problem here.)
Chops'n'slaps (Those familiar with Lucha Libre will know that punching someone with a closed fist is illegal, so you see a lot of chops and slaps in place of punches. He knows he can actually punch here, but old habits, y'know?)
Hurracanranas
Legdrops
Vertical Suplexes
Backdrops
Flying Headscissors
Abdominal Stretches
Abdominal Stretch Pinfalls
Shoulder Blocks
Back Body Drops
Snapmares
Drop Toeholds
Ring Entrance: (Despite there being no pyrotechnics, there is an explosion that precedes El Guapo's entrance to the ring.
This is because he always gets some kid to light a bunch of cheap fireworks, usually a bunch on a string that is thrown on the entrance ramp. When it all finally stops, Guapo's entrance hits and he comes out throwing thumbs up to people, and smoking a cigar. It's pretty straightforward, really, he saunters to the ring and waits for the opponent, or reacts to the opponent already in the ring. Whatever.)
Ring Attire: Essentially, red is the primary color here, and the secondary color is yellow. So, red mask and tights and boots, but with yellow trim, designs and laces(for his boots). He also wears red wrist tape, and though it isn't technically a part of his 'attire', it should be mentioned that his chest is rather hairy, in a manly fashion. Total machismo, baby.
Bio: When El Guapo made his debut in Mexico City, Mexico, Lucha Libre was beginning to wane a little, but in the face of the popularity he gained, and the man's world he was secretly apart of were enough that he didn't notice or care for any decline, for him, this was the absolute pinnacle. The best he could be, and the greatest he could live.
And as with anything else wonderful and perfect, it eventually woke up alone, with a note from Lady Time quickly penned over on the nightstand, and lines etched deeply in the mirror where its face should be. And the world passed these men in masks by, not caring one iota for what used to be the greatest blending of art and sport that Mexico had ever created. Oh, Guapo still wrestled, of course, but it no longer made headlines, and whether opening act or defending champion, the pennies he was paid didn't come close to comparing with what he had.
And so, in the face of this, Guapo retired, forgotten and alone, unless you count prostitutes. He didn't. He retired for a long time, and his sudden return now, of all times to return, must be a sudden surprise. But it's easy to guess why he did. After all, if you saw a chance to relive your glory days, wouldn't you, no matter the cost?
