Moving tropes from the Lucha Underground character page.


* AnimalMotif: Called himself the [[RedBaron "Darewolf"]]. Accordingly, he sported a more werewolf-like hairstyle in Season 4 of Lucha Underground.
* BashBrothers: In Lucha Underground, it didn't take him long to buddy up with first Jack Evans then Johnny Mundo.



* DefeatMeansFriendship: After he beat Tyson Kidd on ''Wrestling/WWESuperstars'', the two started teaming.

**
After he beat Tyson Kidd on ''Wrestling/WWESuperstars'', the two started teaming.teaming.
** Combined with EnemyMine in Lucha Underground. PJ blamed Drago rather than Jack Evans for the loss he received against Jack thanks to Drago's interference (and to be completely honest, [[JerkassHasAPoint you couldn't say he was wrong]]) and sided with Evans to get revenge on Drago.


Added DiffLines:

* ForgotFlandersCouldDoThat: Like the rest of the members of the Worldwide Underground, PJ had been subject to considerable BadassDecay as he was reduced to a slimy cheating coward who mainly participated in beatdowns of wrestlers the WWU members couldn't beat fairly. Then he had his hard-fought Cueto Cup match against Prince Puma, followed by his 1-on-1 match against Rey Mysterio, and reminded the Believers of just how good he ''really'' is.


Added DiffLines:

* GroinAttack: Like his partners in the Worldwide Underground, he quickly took to kicking opponents in the junk while the referee's distracted. While the WWU largely ditched this after a while, he revived it to good effect in late Season 4.


Added DiffLines:

* HeManWomanHater: Displayed an uncomfortable amount of misogyny towards Sexy Star during a match in Lucha Underground, to the point where Vampiro [[EvenEvilHasStandards wanted to hit him with a chair for it]].
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In Lucha Underground, Matt Striker invoked this by name for him after he set up a table during Johnny Mundo's rematch with The Mack, only to eat a Stunner and break it himself by falling off the apron and through it.


Added DiffLines:

* ManlyTears: In Lucha Underground, he shed these after Taya accepted Johnny Mundo's marriage proposal in "A Match Made in Heaven".


Added DiffLines:

* YesMan: In Lucha Underground, he quickly took to tagging along behind Johnny Mundo, sycophantically repeating everything amusing he says and laughing at it as if it's top-class stand-up comedy.

WWE's usually enforced a promotion-wide embargo on it due to various botches, but Gabriel was still allowed the use of it because he's '''that good at it'''.
