AWL Wrestler Profile: Jose Huerta

 Jose Huerta (Formerly: Lucha)
              From: Guadalajara, Mexico.
              Record: 11-12
              Finishers: Fighter’s Finale/Guillotine Leg Drop.
              Affiliation: N.R.E./The Free Fighters (Former)
              Style: Lucha Libre.
              Championships: None
                           The second youngest son of lucha libre legend El Santo, Jose is the black sheep of the family.  Sure, he shares his entire clan’s passion for the wrestling industry, but his heart belongs to the devious and dastardly, the despicable and dishonorable . . . the Rudos.  Taking the name Lucha, he traveled to Japan to escape the long shadow cast by his father.  Of course, his little brother Libre wanted to earn a reputation all their own, but Lucha just wanted to get the hell away from his home and family.
              Upon his arrival in the AWL, Lucha joined with his brother as “The Free Fighters” and tried to play the part of the technico.  But his true colors shone through in their tag team matches as Lucha would frequently use dirty and underhanded tactics to gain an unfair advantage behind the backs of both the referee and his brother.
              Eventually, the Free Fighters broke up after Lucha nearly broke his brother’s skill with a steel chair.  Finally “free” of his family, Lucha went about forging a new family.  A family of evil composed of those in the AWL who are not only heels/rudos/villains/whatever, but are PROUD of that fact.  He found two new brothers in Bruce Hoyt and Wrestler X, an excessively violent cheater and a shameless thief respectfully.
              Together, the N.R.E. blazed a trail of destruction through the AWL, eventually adding attempted murderer Bubba Reese to their number, but Lucha’s march of madness was stopped by one man . . . his baby brother.
              Libre (occasionally aided by Ma-Ji-Ku & Ganba) challenged Lucha to a Best of 7 Series.  At first, Lucha assumed this was a joke and didn’t take his brother seriously as an opponent.  However, Lucha eventually found himself up against the wall when the series was tied at 3-3 and Libre (Per the rules of the contest) chose a Mask vs. Mask match as the stakes for their final encounter.  Jose was defeated in that contest after AWL senior referee Joey Babaganoush declared him knocked out after a Standing Star Press.  Jose became the first wrestler in this history of the AWL to be unmasked.

              Only time will tell if Jose can recover from the humiliation, but something tells me that we haven’t seen the last of the Red Rudo.
