Pajaro de Presa
Career Highlights
Very little is known about the early history of the masked luchador Pajaro de Presa. He hails from Cancun, Mexico, where growing up around drunken American sorority girls flashing their ta-ta's for "Girls Gone Wild" pretty much sent his libido into perpetual overdrive. Well, that's the theory anyways. Some point out that for a Mexican, Pajaro de Presa has a questionable grasp of the Spanish language. But then other people point out that his English isn't so hot either. Whatever his origin, nothing is known about how Pajaro de Presa received his wrestling training or acquired his lucha mask, persona and name, which translates loosely as "Bird of Prey." It is suspected he was a student of the legendary luchador El Mono Enmascarado (the Masked Monkey), who also taught Japanese superstar Tsunami Oni the ways of lucha libre.
However he was trained, Pajaro de Presa received little attention at first. He lived inside a Jack-in-the-Box dumpster in Los Banos, California, for an untold amount of time. Then he learned of the opening of 4 Winds Wrestling. Making his way to the construction of their arena, Pajaro de Presa extorted a contract for himself by trapping owner Fey McClancy-Childress in a port-a-potty without toilet paper. This dubious start was redeemed when the self-proclaimed "Rudo with Attitude-o" was victorious in 4WW's first match ever. Pajaro de Presa would have many other wins, although he never won a title there. Actually his time in 4WW focused around try to gain the affection of fellow wrestler Patti Anderson. These attempts, which included sculpting a life-size nude image of Patti out of stuffed jalapenos, failed miserably and usually painfully. After some months, Pajaro de Presa vanished from 4WW. Some suspect Sean McClancy locked him in a dumpster and sent him overseas to keep him away from his lover, Patti Anderson, but nothing has been proven.
"The Bird of Prey" resurfaced several months later in the Univeral Wrestling Federation. He quicky allied himself with the Masked Monkeys, a collection of second-rate luchadores that worked as security and enhancement talent. This means they got beat up a lot. Pajaro de Presa became good friends with fellow Masked Monkey White Tiger and the two formed a tag team. The pair met with some success, winning the UWF tag titles briefly while Pajaro de Presa even became TV champ for a few days. But mostly they got in trouble, with White Tiger frequently trying unsuccessfully to rein in his manic amigo, and got beat up. On the side, Pajaro de Presa began to train a small duck named Plucky in the Mexican sport of cockfighting. At this point pretty much everyone figured out "the Rudo with Attitude-o" was an idiot. Even the duck.
The duo's greatest success came in the Primetime Central tag division. Coming in second in anumber one contender's match caused Pajaro de Presa to dub them "the Greatest Enhancement Talent Tag Team Ever!" He also began a hopeless and life-threatening infatuation with one-half of the PTC tag champs... Clique Clique Boom's Karina Wolfenden. He snuck into a PRIME show to woo his "Kare-Bear." He got beat up. When the Masked Monkeys accepted a challenge from three teams at Lights Out Wrestling, "the Bird of Prey" led White Tiger to an invasion of a LOW where they slipped bottles of "Mexican drinking water" to their opponents and swiped all the toilet paper in the arena. However, their escape failed when they missed the bus. They got beat up.
The team went through some ups and downs. The Gay and Lesbian Association of Monkeys sued them for defamation, forcing the Masked Monkeys to change their name to Los Mucho Macho Mascaras. They proved victorious over the LOW teams and got a shot at the PTC tag titles. However, Pajaro de Presa was fired from the UWF for being an embarassment, even in a place that let Chris Storm wrestle. The tables were turned when a bird-obsessed old lady died and left Pajaro de Presa her house in Texas, which turned out to be on a massive oil deposit. Withh is new fortune, he bought the UWF and dubbed himself "El Presidente." Los Mucho Macho Mascaras also won the PTC tag titles, with "the Rudo with Attitude-o" fulfilling his fantasy by getting to lay on top of Karina Wolfenden for three seconds.
But this golden age was not to last. Los Mucho Macho Mascaras showed they were still jobbers by quickly losing the PTC tag titles. Then the administration of "El Presidente" came to an end when he bet his fortune on Plucky in a Caribbean dance contest and was forced to sell the UWF. Pajaro de Presa went back to being enhancement talent and getting beat up. White Tiger grew disillusioned with his wrestling career and began taking classes on courtroom stenography.
Following the closure of the UWF, neither was seen for quite some time until they appeared on ReVolution, repackaged as a pair of "militant Latino thugs" calling themselves the Spanglish United Xchange, or SUX for short.
