Board Name: El Luchadore Magnifico
Wrestler Name: El Luchadore Magnifico
Height: 5'11
Weight: 210
Hometown: Mexico City
Age: 28
Heel
Stable:
Escort: Prefers to go out alone.
Weapon: Mexican Flag (will usually smack an opponent with the broad side, but isn’t above pulling a Genesis II and pinning someone’s hand to the mat with the uber-sharp tip if they really piss him off.)
Quote: "Bien, tu estupido gringo.”
Appearance: Magnifico’s skin is tan, his eyes a dark brown, and his hair long and black. It flows down to his shoulders when untied, which is whenever he’s not in a match. His tights are a black with a blood red, snaking pattern running down each leg to a pair of plain black boots. Wrestles shirtless.
Entrance: With no warning, the lights suddenly cut out, leaving the arena in darkness. A few fans, knowing what’s coming next, already begin to boo as they sit in shadow...
“HEY HEY!”
*BOOM!*
So goes the intro to Atake FDD’s “Tu Final”, which is shouted as a burst of red, white and green sparks explode upwards from the stage! As the smoke clears, the fans catch a clear sight of El Luchadore Magnifico, who strides out from behind the curtain, illuminated by a single spotlight. His head bobbing to the thumping bass and his trademark Mexican flag in his hands, Magnifico quickly makes his way down the entrance ramp, keeping his eyes focused on the ring (or his opponent) and nothing else.
Funyon’s spiel goes here.
Magnifico reaches the ring, rolls beneath its bottom rope, and pops to his feet. He steps into the middle of the ring and thrusts his flag high into the air, doing so as the lights are reignited throughout the arena. Scowling at the booing audience, Magnifico hands his flag to the ref and executes a few cursory stretches, staring coldly at his opponent (if he’s already in the ring) as he does so.
Stats
Strength: 4 (Can Suplex anyone up to, say, two hundred and sixty pounds. That limit is flexible, however.)
Speed: 6 (Just because he shys away from aerial moves doesn’t mean he’s not fast. Magnifico can still counter with the best of ‘em, and is still capable of busting out an acrobative move every now and then.)
Vitality: 5 (Can work tough matches, but isn’t the kind of guy to kick out of finishers. His resistance to submissions is average.)
Charisma: 5 (Doesn’t speak quite as well as during his face days, but can still cut a great promo when he needs to.)
Style: Technical/High-Flying
Signature Moves
Sangria Stretch (Magnifico hits a drop toe hold on his opponent, but grabs him around the face like a Crossface on the way down. Magnifico keeps the hold on the ankles and pulls back on the face. Preferred finisher if a submission is required. Will use a Tree of Woe variation (feet held behind top turnbuckle with one hand, neck wrenched back with the other) if the match is no-DQ.)
Montezuma's Revenge (Chicken Wing Jawbreaker. Magnifico twists his opponent's arm into a Chicken Wing while standing face to face with them, wraps his arm around his opponent's neck, and then falls to his knees, driving his opponent's chin into his shoulder. Preferred finisher set-up move.)
Estiramiento Vicioso (Standing Figure Four. The victim is on their back, Magnifico grabs one leg and bends it sideways behind one of the attacker's own legs and on top of the victim's other leg, forming a "4" with the victim's legs. Magnifico holds the victim's straight leg, pins their legs into place, and instead of falling back to apply the standard figure four leg lock, ELM remains standing and applies pressure.)
Barrio Buster (Fisherman Buster)
Rio Grande Slam (Sambo Suplex)
Cancun Crunch (Double Underhook Brainbuster)
La Bomba Fantastica (Blue Thunder Powerbomb. Back Drop Suplex into a Sitting Powerbomb)
Uncommon moves
Knife-Edge Chops
Superkick
Snap Suplex
Backslide
Guillotine
Front Suplex
Capture Suplex (Head and Arm or Head and Leg)
Hurricanrana
German Suplex (Release or Bridged)
Brainbuster
DDT (All variations...Regular, Reverse, Tornado, Top Rope, blah blah blah. Has a great affinity for the Armbreaker DDT, especially when he’s trying to work over an opponent’s arm.)
Lowly Heel Tactics (Eye Rakes, Low Blows, Hair Pulling, Standing On Ropes, etc.)
Rare moves
Spanish Conquestor (Flipping Dropkick into a chair into a face. Will use it whenever nobody is looking or when an opponent makes him angry enough.)
The Fall of the Aztecs (Super Hurricanrana. Will avoid using this whenever possible, as Magnifico despises the positive reaction he receives for the high-flying maneuver.)
Mexican Pride Press (Shooting Star Press. Still finisher strength, falls under the same situation as the Fall of the Aztecs. Before using, will usually turn to his Mexican Flag and salute it proudly.)
Furia del Maestro (Reverse Fire Thunder Driver. Extremely rare. Used only when EVERYTHING else has failed, or for serious blood feuds.)
Finishers
Dia de los Muertos (Fire Thunder Driver. Scoop Slam into a sitting Tombstone. Preferred finisher, as it’s quicker and much easier to use. Not quite as deadly as the Baja California Crusher, though.)
Baja California Crusher (Grab opponent as if for a backslide, then run up the ropes and flip over opponent's head, driving their head into the mat with a Pedigree-like maneuver, minus the head scissoring.)
Notes
Magnifico is PISSED. Pissed at the fans, at his opponents, whoever. He blames everyone but himself for his failures, and feels that the fans have turned on him. During matches, he is concentrated and determined and tries his best to keep in control of his emotions. Of course, at times he’ll lose control and just go nuts on his opponent, which is where he’s the most dangerous but also makes the most mistakes.
Magnifico has greatly toned down the high-flying offense, instead opting to use a more Suplex-based attack. That being said, he’ll still regularly bust out a Splash or a Moonsault, but usually not more than once a match, and even then, it’s with a good bit of trepidation. Unfortunately, his relatively low weight and strength causes ELM to revert to an aerial offense against larger opponents, which annoys Magnifico to no end. Because of this, he’ll automatically despise any and all large opponents he may go up against. Receiving any cheers for anything he does will infuriate ELM and cause him to be distracted from his opponent for a few moments.
