EL GUAPO
La Historia Julian Tijerina
Primera Parte: Entra En El Guerrero
"My name," Julian Tijerina is standing on the balcony of his mansion in Extremedura, Spain, hands on his hips, wearing a white suit with a green tie. He is looking out into the world, a perfect grin on his beautiful face. "...is Julian Tijerina."
Suddenly, he is on the top turnbuckle, wearing his wrestling gear. Lights are flashing, from people's cameras, phones, to the stadium's many spotlights, whether actual lighting or mere reflections. Julian is looking out into the mat where his opponent is lying down in pain, a perfect grin on his beautiful face.
"I," Julian stands straight up on the turnbuckle. He does the same on his mansion's balcony. He begins to jump up in both places, jumps forward, flips backwards while moving his body forward, before descending horizontally, with his entire body in a perfect prone position. "...am a guerrero of lucha."
Julian is now driving through Los Angeles, California, in his trademark purple Lamborghini Murciélago. It's around 9 in the morning. The sun is up, and so are the fans. Julian stops in the parking lot of his favorite shawarma restaurant. As soon as he gets out of his expensive supercar, he is recognized by the people closest to where he has parked his car.
"Oh, my god," a round old woman in her 40s exclaimed, drawing the attention of her equally round balding husband and their muscle-bound juvenile delinquent. "You're Julian Tijerina!"
She turns to her flabbergasted husband, as Julian grins in front of him, "He's Julian Tijerina!"
Their son, looking like he just came out of the beach, starts gyrating, "El Guapoooooo!"
Julian laughs, quite amused, "Yeah, it's me. How are you, guys? Out for some shawarma? You know, this is my favorite place to eat. Right below Coco's Cabana in Puerto Rico. But that place is so far away, so I am here. How are you enjoying your shawarma so far?"
"I knew it was you!" the son exclaimed, excited as ever. "I'm a big fan! I follow you in AXN, FGA, GOL... You're hilarious!"
The conversation continued as long as Julian let it. He talked wrestling with the family, smiling, laughing in between, answered all their questions from the serious to the mundane, and even wished them well in their endeavors before deciding it was time to go, time to eat. He bid them farewell, hugged the mother, the father, and reluctantly the greasy son, and went inside to get his breakfast. A host of other fans noticed him, however, and he did the same thing with them like he did with the family outside while he waited in line. Thankfully, he did not have to wait for long. After waving to everyone, signing autographs a few seconds before, he walked back outside to his car, took a bite of his shawarma, and finally drove off.
"That's a normal thing wherever I go," he said as he continued driving while occasionally taking bites of his breakfast. "People are quick to notice me. I'm not sure if it's because of my face or this car. This car has made multiple appearances in AXN, so it's now as famous as me. If only it can go to that ring and help me win the Gods of War Ladder Match."
Julian laughed.
Julian is backstage with Maria, hyping himself up mere seconds before his AXN PPV debut match against Emily Scott. It's going to be a straight jacket match, and Maria is set to play a pivotal role in the finish. He keeps jumping on the balls of his feet. Maria tries her best to keep him calm. She gives him a pep talk on how he is El Guapo, the pride of Spain, the son of Spain, a guerrero. Guerreros don't get nervous before a match, Maria tells him.
"I was actually still under contract with AXN when I first appeared for Guerreros of Lucha," Julian explained. "It was a pretty weird time. AXN was trying to get itself known through other promotions by way of partnerships, so they encouraged us, their talent, to go out and make appearances for other well-known promotions. Guerreros of Lucha seemed like the perfect fit for me."
Helena Noir appears from out of nowhere, surprising Julian and Maria.
"Hey," Helena patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry about it, man. I've seen you before you got here. You'll do amazing."
Julian did. He went on to lose that match, but despite that, he became a star. Fans quickly gravitated towards El Guapo. His charisma proved to be stronger than his heel-ish tendencies, and soon enough, fans started cheering him despite him doing underhanded things in the ring. Cheating, provoking the referee, grabbing on the opponent's tights for the win. Julian did all the dirty things in the wrestling playbook, and still, people loved him for it.
"It was really weird, you know," he continued. "I was doing my best for people to hate me, and for a while, especially during that Emily Scott feud where I abandoned Maria, people did hate me. But I guess, they still wanted to cheer someone who looked like an actual man than a sexy clown. After that feud, I dropped being a heel and became a fan favorite. I still continued cheating and lying in the ring, though. I think people cheered me harder because of it."
"My first match in Guerreros of Lucha was the Gods of War Ladder Match during the first Eternal Lucha," Julian explained.
Back in the ring in 2016, and the lights went out. A few seconds later, Maria came out with a microphone in hand, bathed in a lone spotlight her beauty deserves. She introduced Julian Tijerrrrrrrina! "Senbonzakura" (violin cover) by Lindsey Stirling played, the lights went back on, and Julian came out, bathed in purple and pink spotlight and holding a purple rose, which he smelled. He pivoted slowly for the benefit of the crowd. Meeting on the ramp, Julian surrendered his rose to Maria and the pair share a slow kiss, a smack on the lips, before Julian gracefully led Maria to the ring, occasionally high-fiving fans along the way.
Julian helped Maria climb up the apron, holding her hand as she walked up the steel steps, and in turn Maria helped Julian climb into the ring, sitting on the rope to make room for him. Once inside the ring, Julian spun on his toes with both arms stretched to either side and his head towards the ceiling. He stopped and slowly, almost dramatically, removed his mask and showed his own grin, a more attractive version of the mask's. In one fluid motion, Julian took off the poncho, and ended up with both arms once again stretched to either side, one hand holding his mask while the other holding the poncho.
Surrendering the mask and the poncho to Maria, the pair kissed once more before Julian climbed the turnbuckle and again stretched both arms to either side before applauding the fans, randomly waving and pointing at people, blowing kisses at cute girls, and occasionally winking. Finally, he went back down, helped Maria out of the ring by sitting on the middle rope, stretched with the ropes' help, and waited for his opponent to get in the ring with him.
"From Extremadura, Spain," the ring announcer screamed. "Julian Tijeeeeerrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"
Julian looked at Pandora's Box.
"It was a pretty fun, chaotic melee, where everyone just tried to get themselves over."
During the match, Sawtooth Grin initially got the upper hand before Mohammed Al Thani got back in it with a European Uppercut. The crowd cheered as Julian Tijerina jumped off the top rope and got to the bracket of the ladder, joining in as it was now three men trading blows for the right to Pandora's Box!
All three men bashed each other's heads in as they tried to get each other off the ladder. The final massive clash of heads stunned them all as Tijerina almost fell off the ladder bracket. Julian set his sights on Sawtooth as he roared out loud before trying to kick him in his head. Sawtooth fortunately dodged it, leading to the foot hitting Mohammed instead. Al Thani immediately fell off the ladder.
Sawtooth then got a hold of Julian before hitting Thumbsucker on top of the ladder. Julian fell off the ladder as well.
"That match," Julian recounted. "...if you can still remember, was of course won by Sawtooth Grin, who is now the Rey de Reyes Champion."
Sawtooth Grin recomposed himself on top of the ladder. He placed himself on top of the ladder. He got a grip of Pandora's Box before unhooking it and becoming the God of War. Grin roared out loud as he raised Pandora's Box above his head, his theme by Cattle Decapitation playing on the PA system.
"Here is you winner and the God of War!!!!!!!!!" The announcer screamed. "SAWTOOTH GRIN!"
"I was happy when Sawtooth won," Julian claimed. "We're good friends inside and outside the ring. If it wasn't going to be me, I was glad it was someone who deserved it second."
"After that, I challenged for the Trios Title Match with another good friend of mine, Angel Kash, and one of my opponents in the Gods of War Ladder Match, Mohammed Al Thani," Julian was shooting a candid video with Kash while walking in the streets of L.A., presumably to his car. She was holding a smoothie while they made faces in the video together. "It was at Chapter Cinco: It's a Dilapidated Boat, and we lost to the then-champions The Everyday Heroes."
After the match, Julian went to Kash, checking up on her. She seemed fine, so he helped her up back to her feet. Julian raised her hand and pointed at her. They hugged before waving at the crowd. Together, they walked to the back, Kash helping a limping Julian.
"That's one of the things I like about Guerreros of Lucha," Julian was smirking while sitting on a chair in a dark room, the camera tight on his guapo face. "The show and PPV titles are hilarious."
