ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION

"Donde esta mi gente?"

The intro to "Mi Gente", the Re-Mix begins to play getting the crowd to jump to their feet. Once the beat drops, out steps "Cholo" Giovanni Santana looking as good as ever and flashing that million dollar smile. He makes his way to the ring, having a few exchanges with the fans, all in good fun. He jumps up on the apron and after wiping his boots, respecting the ring, he gets inside. He walks towards the middle nodding his head to the beat of the catchy song, making his afro wave back and forth. Some of the fans get into it, specially the ladies and Cholo points and winks to some. He goes to chill in one corner, awaiting the match to start.

ALIGNMENT

TWEENER

GIMMICK

Cholo is a party guy. He loves to travel and have a good time just as much as he loves wrestling so when he comes out to an arena, he's all about bringing that fun energy not only to the crowd but his opponents. Specially his opponents, whether they know him or not before they square off, whether like him, love him or not, after the match is over they can't help but like the guy. He's just a fun guy to be around, cool guy to get to know. He cares about wins and losses but if the crowd went home happy because they saw an awesome match, than he'll take that and move on to the next feeling accomplished.

RING PSYCHOLOGY (IN-RING ATTITUDE)

He loves to have fun in the ring and if he's facing a 'serious' wrestler, even better. Cholo likes to get inside the head of his opponents but in a different way, smiling, having a good time in the ring, not taking himself or his opponent seriously, telling them to relax, enjoy the moment...  But he will reach the point that once its time to get down to business opponents quickly find out that he is a well-versed brawler and wrestler. His goal is to weaken the shoulder, neck and head areas always working towards his finisher, a Full Nelson, which he has 3 variations of. One thing is for sure, he hits you or traps you in one of those, it's over for you.

WRESTLING STYLE

BRAWLER: Your character relies on striking to pummel their opponent into submission.

ENTERTAINER: Your character feeds off of the crowd, giving them what they want and using their cheers to drive them toward victory.

ATTITUDE TOWARDS CHEATING

SNEAKY

ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT DO

Get naked in the ring... maybe

CHARACTER BACKGROUND.

BIOGRAPHY

Gio was born and raised in El Salvador, his parents left him behind when he was very little with his grandparents as they came to America, chasing the American Dream. Once they were able to get their situation proper some years later, they brought him legally to the USA. he lived with them for only a couple of years because sadly they were murdered in cold blood. Gio was taken in by his mother's brother, and wrestling manager of champions Paco "The Drinking Time Bomb" Perez. He lived with him, graduating high school and going to college and not really getting into wrestling until after graduating college as he caught the bug working on his uncle's wrestling school. He enjoyed being a wrestling trainer and teacher, but as he got closer to his 30th birthday his uncle pushed him to try having a career of his own as time was ticking. Gio agreed and Paco got him an entry to the prestigious Quagcup tournament, which he did really well on. So well that he made it all the way to the finals, coming up short of winning the whole thing but getting a cool $5 million dollars for finishing up as the runner up. Because of this, essentially becoming rich in one tournament, Cholo decided not to join a specific federation instead becoming a freelancer and just join events and tournaments as they happen then using money won to focus on his charity work both in USA and back home in El Salvador.
