History Characters / LuchaUndergroundFormerRoster

* AnimalMotif: It was all in the name. His mask looked like a jaguar, the sacred big cat of Mexico.
* ArchEnemy: With Cage. Cage was practically Puma's polar opposite.
** He also made another one in Hernandez.
** Pentagon Jr. soon fit the bill as well.
** As of Season 3, his ultimate foe seemed to be the man who took his championship and his mojo, Mil Muertes, who was portrayed as Puma's own [[Literature/MobyDick white whale]].
* BackFromTheDead: As LU treats losing Grave Consequences as outright death. Complete with shades of CameBackWrong, as he began hearing voices in his head, though Catrina (who, being half-dead herself at the time, had some experience with it) soon insinuated that it was a normal thing for those who've been dead.
* BashBrothers: For a while he had this kind of partnership with Johnny Mundo, until an accidental chair shot soured that and they ended up feuding. They got back on good terms for the Trios title tournament, but that didn't last long.
* CoolMask: The design was reminiscent of a jaguar, the sacred big cat of Mexico.
* DavidVsGoliath: Against both Cage and Big Ryck with him as the David.
* {{Determinator}}: Puma would rather die than give up. It might HAVE killed him in his second match against Cage, if Konnan hadn't literally thrown in the towel to save him.
* DreamTeam: With Rey Mysterio and Dragon Azteca Jr.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His came in his very first match, which was the very first main event of the show, when he did a backflip headscissors on Johnny Mundo. Anyone watching knew that this kid HAD it.
* {{Face}}: Interestingly, he remained this for almost his entire run, even though at one point he was mentored by Konnan, who through most of his late career was ''[[{{Heel}} anything but]]''.
** FaceHeelTurn: ''Verrrrrry'' slowly under Vampiro's mentorship. Since returning from the dead, Puma became increasingly violent, cold and dismissive towards his former friends and, perhaps most notably, forewent his usual [[FinishingMove 630 Senton]] to finish off Ricky Mandel in the Cueto Cup in favour of a reverse scoop piledriver that somewhat resembled '''Nail in the Coffin'''[[note]]Michinoku Driver II or Sitout Scoop Slam Piledriver, formerly the FinishingMove of Vampiro and NOT the kind of move a Face would use so readily[[/note]]. His ring gear also became steadily darker in color.
* FakeNationality: Was billed as being descended from one of the Aztec tribes (but with a hometown in California), but was actually played by a light skinned African American man.
* FinishingMove: The 630 Senton.
* TheHero: Possibly the closest thing the show had to a protagonist for the first three Seasons, or at least until Pentagon Dark became more popular.
* HeroicMute: Not ''literally'' mute, but in the first season and a half of LU Puma uttered a mere five words, one in response to the question "Who's our partner?": "Me.", and four more in response to him and his partners taking the Trios titles: "Damn right we do." The first time he WAS about to talk, Konnan interrupted and talked for him; the second time, he was interrupted by Mil Muertes instead. Not until midway through the second season did he speak a full-length sentence. Interestingly enough, on the first three occasions that he spoke, the only people present were Dragon Azteca Jr. and Rey Mysterio.
** And then we finally learned that not only could the kid talk, he was downright eloquent.
* HotBlooded: He'd fight anyone who got in his face. Without the moderating presence of Konnan, though, his temper was known to boil over, culminating in him getting his trios team disqualified when he [[GroinAttack kicked Johnny Mundo in the junk]] for cheating one time too many.
* MaskedLuchador: Well, ''duh''.
* MeaningfulName: Prince Puma, with Prince referring to his position as the heir apparent (alluding to both his youth and his bloodline as a descendant of a noble Aztec tribe) and Puma as another name for the jaguar, the sacred big cat of Mexico and his Tribe.
* TheMole: He was Dragon Azteca's contact within the Temple and the one who got him to Black Lotus in the first place.
* PantheraAwesome: Both his name and his mask.
* PowerTrio: With Hernandez and Johnny Mundo on the Trios title tournament.
** Formed a much more successful one with Rey Mysterio and El Dragon Azteca Jr. in Season 2, winning the Trios championships.
* PyrrhicVictory: His match with Drago was this because Cueto stipulated that Drago would be banished from the Temple if he lost. Puma won because of interference from Hernandez, [[ApologeticAttacker and was heartbroken and asked forgiveness from Drago for costing him his career this way]].
* RageBreakingPoint: Since the beginning it was basically a fact of life in the Temple that the rudos would cheat like crazy and get away with it as long as the EasilyDistractedReferee's back was turned, but during the rematch for the trios title after losing the week before, Puma finally snapped. After Johnny Mundo took one too many cheap shots at Dragon Azteca Jr's privates while Marty Elias was distracted by Taya and looked about to get away with it yet again, Puma lost his temper completely and [[GroinAttack kicked Johnny]] [[UnusualEuphemism square in the Mundos]] right in front of the ref, then knocked Taya's block off with a superkick after his actions got his team disqualified (admittedly he was aiming for Johnny again, but was completely unrepentant after hitting Taya instead).
* TheRival: With Johnny Mundo. They didn't like each other, but they didn't disrespect each other, and when they had a match it was always a clean fight. Since episode 22 (Prince Puma vs. King Cuerno), they seemed to have settled on a FriendlyEnemy relationship. There could still be only one top dog, but they were professional and sporting about it.
** Most traces of professionalism vanished after Mundo's heel turn, particularly after the way Mundo acted during their Last Man Standing match for the championship. By the time Puma [[GroinAttack put the boot to Johnny's privates]] near the end of season 2, the pair of them just despised each other.
* SignatureMove: The Running SSP, the Poisoned Frankensteiner, the Spanish Fly, the Fireman's Carry kick... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoIlLNQoe80 You know what? Just watch this video.]] The guy had a HELL of an arsenal.
* UnwantedAssistance: Puma was seriously mortified at being helped out in his title defenses. He was quite resentful of Hernandez and, to a lesser (or at least more hidden) extent, Konnan, feeling he should rightfully defend the title on his own, no matter how much the bad guys cheated. However, this was also a point of contention, since he only defended the title without outside interference a handful of times before his loss.

* TheAce: Alberto had a list of accomplishments that someone like Wrestling/RicFlair would've approved of.
* ArchEnemy: Texano, in what was possibly the bloodiest, most hate-filled feud in the show. Later on, while they certainly weren't allies, an uneasy truce seemed to exist between them as Alberto hit the ring during one episode to help Texano run off The Crew after they interfered in Texano's match.
** Later on, Johnny Mundo on account of both of them having egos so big that they could've easily consumed entire galaxies.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Though he was technically a face, Alberto made it pretty public that any wrestler in Lucha Underground was fair game to him. In fact, his two most intense promos were on Prince Puma and Johnny Mundo, at the time the Temple's most popular guys.
* CombatPragmatist: Though he was a face, Alberto stood out for being more than willing to fight dirty to win, which is a HUGE advantage in the Temple, to be sure.
* CrossOver: Alberto was fighting for the Lucha Underground title, but also as a representative of Wrestling/{{AAA}}, as he was at the time the promotion's Mega Champion.
* {{Face}}: A cocky, mouthy one.
* FinishingMove: His Cross Armbreaker. As simple as it got, but as [[BoringButPractical EFFECTIVE]] as it got.
* GlorySeeker: His main motivation for fighting was to further improve his already legendary career.
* {{Jerkass}}: Surprisingly snarky for a face, even to other faces, but then again, it just wouldn't have been him otherwise. However, this attitude came back to bite him HARD, as he ended up pushing Johnny Mundo in exactly the right way to make him go full heel and completely wreck Alberto. Given that he had no allies in ''Lucha Underground'', Alberto was in a very precarious position as a result.
* '''LargeHam''': It was ''impossible'' to ignore Alberto. He commanded every room he walks into, and his mic skills were second to none.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: If he wasn't in his ring garb, he was impeccably dressed in tailored suits with slicked-back hair.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Okay, Alberto, it was one thing to be competitive with Johnny Mundo 'cause you were both gunning for Prince Puma's title, that was understandable. But harassing and fucking with Johnny Mundo until he went full-blown heel and you ended up eating a glass window? You should have known better.
* PutOnABus: Back to WWE.
* TheSmartGuy: Alberto would use any advantage he could find to win, and liked to methodically attack his opponent to weaken them until he had the upper hand.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: The man sure knew how to make an impression.
* {{Troll}}: Oh, was he ever. The guy apparently couldn't have a conversation without somehow making fun of the other guy. He was especially snarky to Dario Cueto himself when negotiating his debut on Lucha Underground.
* WinkDing: In video packages, his signature wink was accompanied by a ding sound.
* WrestlingFamily: Son of Dos Caras, brother of ex-[[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT]] wrestler Memo Montenegro, cousin of Sicodelico Jr. and Hijo de Sicodelico, nephew of Mil Mascaras and Sicodelico. He was ''[[RoyalBlood lucha royalty]]''.
* WrestlingPsychology: Alberto was notable for being a more technical mat wrestler as opposed to the usual high-flying lucha libre style. He was fond of using submission holds, maintaining ring control and using traditional techniques like suplexes, arm drags and slams. He could definitely do high-flying and acrobatic moves when he needed to, but he was much more comfortable mat wrestling.

* BattleCouple: Was as capable of lacing up and kicking ass as her ex-boyfriend.
* ComedicSpanking: How she was punished by El Patron for her interference in his match against Johnny Mundo.
* {{Contortionist}}: Legendary for her flexibility. She could do the splits!
* MsFanservice: Remember: [[RunningGag she could do the splits!]]
* PutOnABus: Either after what were described as "difficulties" between herself and LU officials (reported by the Wrestling Observer) or that she was asked to do one show in place of the original person meant for the role (Taya, who would debut in Season 2) and plans were changed afterward (told by Melina herself), depending on which version of the story is heard/believed.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Melina and Johnny were a legit couple in real life, so it made sense to milk that for all it was worth in the ring.
** In season 3 Johnny Mundo talked about having to use some money to make some pictures go away, almost certainly referencing pictures Melina put online about him, thus giving a kayfabe reason for her not being on the show.
* SpicyLatina: Was she ever.

* ArchEnemy: While they were both retired from active wrestling, Konnan and Vampiro STILL hated the crap out of each other. During Vampiro's interview of Prince Puma, the bad blood between them couldn't remain in check and they almost came to blows.
* CallBack: His confrontation with Vampiro during the Prince Puma interview. Vampiro and Konnan were worst enemies for ''years'', and old habits die hard.
* CoolOldGuy: 51 years old and still a badass.
* HandicappedBadass: The years of bumps and bloodshed were not kind to Konnan, and he walked with a cane. Mess with him, however, and he wouldn't hesitate to break that cane on your head.
* KilledOffForReal: Heavily implied by Catrina, supported by his image appearing in a list of missing people compiled by Captain Vasquez. Later explicitly confirmed.
* LivingLegend: Konnan accomplished more in his tenure as a wrestler than countless other guys, and he used that knowledge to mentor Puma the best he could.
%%zce* MentorArchetype: To Prince Puma.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Turned out that bringing Hernandez in was a big mistake, cause he was soon gunning for Puma's title, having betrayed them both.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: While Konnan showed complete sincerity in claiming to have only Puma's best interests in mind, Vampiro insisted at every opportunity on accusing him of [[TheCorrupter wanting to corrupt Puma]] and [[TheSvengali only using him for his own gain.]] Oh, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and of being ugly.]]
* RetiredBadass: Retired from active wrestling; instead, he mentored a new-generation luchador.
* TheSmartGuy: He served as the voice of reason and strategy for Puma.
* TheStrategist: He even cited [[Literature/TheArtOfWarSunTzu Sun Tzu]] when discussing how to be deceptive.
* SoProudOfYou: Konnan showed nothing but pride for his boy both when Puma won the title and when he defended it against Cage.
* WeaponOfChoice: Anyone who messed with him would have that cane of his flying towards their noggin faster than you can say "Orale!"

* BloodKnight: His main reason to come to the Temple: Dario Cueto liked to observe violence, Daivari liked to inflict it.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Never heard from again after Season 1 of Lucha Underground. The only 'mention' of him since was a photograph of him appearing in Captain Vasquez's office alongside photographs of Bael, [[Wrestling/AlbertoDelRio Alberto El Patron]], Wrestling/{{Konnan}}, Hernandez and Big Ryck under a Missing Persons banner.
* AGlassOfChianti: Not wine, but Daivari was often seen sipping a glass of (what was probably very expensive) whisky. He even was drinking a glass of the stuff inside the ring while waiting to start his first match against Texano!
* GoldColoredSuperiority: Both his ring attire and his title of The Golden Warrior. Also, the whiskey he drank was a golden brown color.
* HateSink: To the point where fans openly cheered '''''Texano''''' over him. The only guy who got more hate at the time was Hernandez. Not to mention that [=DelAvar=] debuted as a ''face'' and the fans just weren't having it.
* RedBaron: "The Golden Warrior."
* StatusCellPhone: He was constantly texting and having conversations on his phone. It served double duty as a way to condescend to people by putting more attention to the phone than the person, as Dario Cueto found out.

%%Tentative placement. Catrina is nothing if not resourceful, we might be seeing her back in some fashion.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Was linked to Fenix, Mil Muertes, and Jeremiah Crane in an overtly romantic/sexual way, yet was quoted as saying that Ivelisse tasted the best out of everyone she's given the Lick of Death to, plus she stuck to gender-neutral pronouns when mentioning the unnamed person that she stated herself to be in love with before it was revealed to be Fenix.
* BackFromTheDead: Courtesy of absorbing Fenix's life force.
* BigBad: Not THE Big Bad, as that'd be Dario Cueto, but Catrina was the leader of her faction and proved herself to be one '''dangerous''' bitch. Having both the monstrous Mil Muertes and the Disciples of Death under her thumb made her a threat to anyone who opposed her.
** At the start of season 2, she and Mil Muertes took advantage of Dario Cueto's forced absence to remake the temple in their image, making them the new Team Big Bad until Cueto returned and unleashed Matanza.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Jeremiah Crane.
* BoyMeetsGhoul: She and Mil seemed to be in some kind of twisted relationship. Her relationship with Fenix was equally twisted.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Her resurrection to full life seemed to have caused this, as she wasn't able to teleport while falling to what was seemingly her death.
* DeadAllAlong: She dropped plenty of hints towards being this, but [[UnreliableNarrator who knows what she really was?]] It was later revealed that she wasn't dead...not entirely, anyway.
* EvilIsSexy: She certainly dressed the part. And Vampiro seemed to think so, mentioning he wouldn't mind if she gave him The Lick of Death.
* EvilVersusEvil: Her animosity with Dario Cueto was very much this.
* FanservicePack: As of Season 4, Catrina started wearing her [[{{Stripperiffic}} ridiculously sexy]] ring gear as her default outfit. Her outfits gradually got skimpier over the Seasons, as well.
* FemmeFatale: ''Oh is she ever''. See HighHeelFaceTurn below.
* FinishingMove: Barbie Crusher (double underhook sitout inverted atomic drop, [[NamesTheSame as opposed to]] the La Rosa Driver used by Nikki Roxx).
* FoeRomanceSubtext: Her and Fenix, dear gods.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Season 2 had her say to Fenix that he could bring her back to life. Come Season 4, this was quite literally true, as she stole his life force to resurrect herself.
* HighHeelFaceTurn: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]: she apparently did a [[HeelFaceTurn face turn]] in Fenix's favor against Mil Muertes, but in episode 26, she herself was the one who brought Mil Muertes back to life, and then she confronted Fenix and revealed that it had been her plan all along for Fenix to beat Mil Muertes in order for him to come back stronger than ever before.
** Later, however, she would express regret towards Fenix for her actions.
* LadyInRed: After absorbing Fenix's life force.
* [[LecherousLicking Lick]] [[KissOfDeath of Death]]: Symbolic version of the latter trope, she did it to fallen foes her men just took down, however she also did this on occasion to upcoming enemies backstage to send a message.
* LoveTriangle: Complicated. She commanded the loyalty and love of Mil Muertes, but admitted she didn't really love him. Despite manipulating him for her own ends, she [[FoeRomanceSubtext still had residual feelings of genuine affection for Fenix]], although he was done with her after she betrayed him and moved on to Melissa Santos. And Jeremiah Crane was a former lover of hers, who was still [[{{Yandere}} violently obsessed with getting her back]], and Catrina didn't seem ''entirely'' disinterested in him.
* MacGuffin: Possessed half of an ancient Aztec amulet, the Piedra Immortal, which was used to partially resurrect her. She later passed it to Melissa Santos after using Fenix's life force to completely resurrect herself.
* ManipulativeBitch:
** Tricked Fenix into aiding her and used him as a way to bring Mil Muertes not only back to life, but stronger than ever.
** Had Mil Muertes completely snowed over until the very end, using him for her own ends.
** Had Jeremiah Crane wrapped around her finger, doing her bidding and possibly giving him to Kobra Moon when she was done with him.
* MeaningfulName: Her name evoked La Calavera Catrina, La Muerte herself; the glamourous, skull-faced female icon of Dia de Los Muertos in Mexican folk art and culture.
* NeckSnap: How she did away with Siniestro de la Muerte.
* [[NonActionGuy Non-Action Girl]]: Did not participate in any matches until Ultima Lucha Tres, but would interfere if she had to. Her willingness to get involved was demonstrated fully at ''Ultima Lucha'' when she got into a fight with Ivelisse, securing the win and the Trios championship for the Disciples of Death in the process.
** DarkActionGirl: She briefly sparred with Pentagon early in Season 2 and held her own. She first appeared in (extremely sexy) ring gear when she ambushed Ivelisse during her match with Taya at Ultima Lucha Dos, hitting her with a Barbie Crusher. Definitively became this at ''Ultima Lucha Tres'', accepting a challenge to an actual match with Ivelisse, which got extremely brutal despite her eventual defeat.
* '''NoSenseOfPersonalSpace''': Dear God.
* NothingPersonal: Had her eyes on the titles, both the Lucha Underground title and the Trios titles, but it was less about beating the people holding them and more about just getting the belts.
* OffscreenTeleportation: Possessed this ability, as she had a tendency to appear and disappear backstage whenever she felt the need to do so.
** LightFlickerTeleportation: As part of her OffscreenTeleportation. The flickering even extended to her accompanying the Disciples of Death to the ring!
* OhCrap: Nothing more was really needed to get Matanza over as [[TheDreaded a nightmarish threat]] than the look of shocked horror on Catrina's face when Dario Cueto showed up at the end of Aztec Warfare II and announced he was entering his brother as the 21st entrant. Especially since she had previously bragged to Cueto that Muertes was more powerful than Matanza!
* OlderThanTheyLook: At least 197 years old, or so she said. Considering her mother was much older than that, it's entirely possible she was being truthful in that regard.
* SummonMagic: Demonstrated the ability to summon Mil Muertes and the Disciples of Death (until their demise) by using Muertes' stone.
* UnreliableNarrator: Pretty much any hint she dropped regarding just what in the heck she was could be taken with an entire salt shaker.
* VillainousBreakdown: For practically the entire first season and the start of the second she was imperturbable, almost never showing signs of weakness or humanity, even when her plans were foiled. But when Pentagon ambushed Mil from behind during Aztec Warfare II, causing him to be eliminated the instant he was shoved into the ring and foiling her plan to retake the Championship, she completely ''lost it,'' blaming Vampiro for Pentagon's actions, hysterically screaming at him to [[GetOut get the hell out of the Temple]], and [[ArmorPiercingSlap slapping him in the face]]. It got even worse when Dario Cueto showed up almost immediately afterward, unleashing Matanza and reclaiming ownership of the Temple from her.
* TheWomanBehindTheMan: From the way they acted initially, the impression was that Mil Muertes was the leader and Catrina the follower, but in fact, the opposite was true.

* AffectionateNickname: Vampiro sometimes referred to him as "Little Rey-Rey", particularly when talking about how far back the two of them go together. Johnny Mundo also referred to him as "Rey-Rey", though not so fondly.
* BadassBoast: To Prince Puma when accepting Puma's invitation to a match at Ultima Lucha Dos.
-->'''Rey:''' "But you are still a Prince, and I am ''el rey'' ('the king')".
* ADayInTheLimelight: The first volume of the interquel comics featured him going to the States seeking the second Dragon Azteca, witnessing the Disciples of Death vaporizing luchadors and Vampiro getting admitted at the psychiatric ward in the process.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: '''''He pinned Matanza!'''''
* DreamTeam: With Dragon Azteca Jr. and Prince Puma.
* JumpedAtTheCall: He may have refused the call to wear Dragon Azteca's mask, but he did NOT refuse the call to avenge him. He quickly answered Dragon Azteca Jr.'s call and took him under his wing as his new mentor and ally.
* LivingLegend: Literally NO ONE in the Temple is as big a name as Rey.
* LegacyCharacter: [[DefiedTrope Defied]]. Rey was chosen to wear the mask of Dragon Azteca as his successor, but he instead decided to forge his own legacy out of his mentor's shadow.
* MentorArchetype: Honored his master's memory by becoming one himself in service of Dragon Azteca Jr. Technically he was also this to Prince Puma, as he discovered him and introduced him to Konnan.
* RefusedTheCall: As mentioned above, he refused to wear the mask of Dragon Azteca, instead allowing Dragon Azteca Jr. to carry the honor of their master's legacy.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: At the end of Aztec Warfare II, after Puma was eliminated by Matanza, Rey was left alone in the ring with the monster, who still hadn't even been knocked off his feet yet. As one of the very few men in the know about what Matanza really ''is,'' Rey's expression was utterly grim, because he knew he was going to be tested like he'd never been before (and had already been in the match since the start).

* AdvertisedExtra: Has a spot in the Season 4 trailer, but only wrestled one match.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Was in Aztec Warfare IV as a replacement for someone else who couldn't make the tapings.

* IHaveTheHighGround: If he climbed the ropes and you were on the mat, you were more than likely getting hit with a 630 Senton.

* IHaveTheHighGround: He demonstrated some great acrobatic moves, in particular using the mid rope to gain momentum.

* IHaveTheHighGround: Was as willing to fly as any of the other luchadores on the roster.

* '''DeathFromAbove[=/=]IHaveTheHighGround''': That guy with the aptitude and the hops to use Dario Cueto's office balcony as a springboard for some of the most incredibly high and daring spots you've ever seen? Yeah, that was him.
* '''{{Determinator}}''': Angelico won this description after all the crap he had to go through in the Trios tournament. The guy would pass out twitching before he came anywhere near giving up.

* IHaveTheHighGround: Incredibly acrobatic and fast.

* [[SignatureMove Signature Moves]]: The Running SSP, the Poisoned Frankensteiner, the Spanish Fly, the Fireman's Carry kick... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoIlLNQoe80 You know what? Just watch this video.]] The guy had a HELL of an arsenal.

* [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Arrogant Lucha Guy]]: Though he was technically a face, Alberto made it pretty public that any wrestler in Lucha Underground was fair game to him. In fact, his two most intense promos were on Prince Puma and Johnny Mundo, at the time the Temple's most popular guys.

* [[CrossOver Cross-Promotion]]: Alberto was fighting for the Lucha Underground title, but also as a representative of Wrestling/{{AAA}}, as he was at the time the promotion's Mega Champion.

* [[WildCard Tweener]] : Was a full-on heel, but his betrayal by The Crew made him reconsider.

* [[MentorArchetype Mentor]]: To Prince Puma.

* TerribleTrio
* [[TagTeam Trios Team]]: Like the Crew below once were, the Disciples were the only 'true' tag Trio in Lucha Underground. Ironically, this alliance would meet the same fate as the Crew's: betrayal and death.

* [[BashBrothers Bash Siblings]]: With quite a few wrestlers: Blue Demon Jr., Mascarita Sagrada, Pimpinela Escarlata, Super Fly, and The Mack.

* [[ProfessionalButtKisser Professional Butt-Kissers]]: Of Dario Cueto's butt, to be precise.

* [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]]:

* [[TheManBehindTheMan The Woman Behind The Man]]: From the way they acted initially, the impression was that Mil Muertes was the leader and Catrina the follower, but in fact, the opposite was true.

* [[MentorArchetype Mentor]]: Honored his master's memory by becoming one himself in service of Dragon Azteca Jr. Technically he was also this to Prince Puma, as he discovered him and introduced him to Konnan.

* [[OlderThanTheyLook Older Than She Looks]]: Due to the power of the Piedra Immortal, she was heavily implied (and later confirmed) to have been over a thousand years old.

* CampGay: Camp [[UpToEleven GAYEST]], to be exact.

* BadassBeard: Even bushier than Son of Havoc's, if that's even possible.

* BiggerBad[=/=]TheManBehindTheMan: While Cueto is the main villain of the show, it seems that Matanza is a bigger threat, and possibly the one motivating Cueto to do the things he does.
** The events in the season 1 finale, however, put this very much into doubt. See NonMaliciousMonster.

* DragonInChief / TheHeavy: To Dario Cueto. Dario may be pulling the strings, but it's clear that Matanza is a FAR greater threat.

* GodIsEvil[=/=]MadGod: Is literally an Aztec God of slaughter in human form.

* '''[[WrestlingMonster WRESTLING MONSTER]]''': He's enormous, strong, distressingly fast for his size and showed in Aztec Warfare II that he can power wrestle beautifully. His German Suplex is a thing to behold, and he's so nimble for his size that he, an almost 300 pound man, can do a ''Standing Shooting Star Press''.

* FanNickname: Within moments of his first appearance in the Temple, the Believers dubbed Vibora "Luchasaurus". It later ascended, as the performer himself began to use it on Twitter and outside the Temple. He also acquired the online nickname [[Wrestling/TheUndertaker "Undersnaker"]] for his height and use of the Chokeslam and Tombstone Piledriver as finishers.

* PutOnABus[=/=]RealLifeWritesThePlot: Rycklon Stephens retired from professional wrestling in October 2015, necessitating the KilledOffForReal example above.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: In a rarity for Lucha Underground, he simply vanished and was never referred to again.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Yes, Sexy took Super Fly's mask... but not by ''choice'', and she wasn't the one who came up with the match- that was all Dario. She didn't break his arm, either, that was Pentagon. Despite that, Super Fly seemed to blame Sexy for everything.

* PutOnABus: After Pentagon Jr. broke his arm, and again just before the first Ultima Lucha.
** TheBusCameBack: To assist Pentagon Jr. in defeating Sexy Star.

* FamousLastWords: "Hey, ''muchachos'' [Rabbit Tribe]! The White Rabbit will see you now!"[[note]]This is mostly said in English whereas Mascarita mostly spoke Spanish.[[/note]]

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In their very first appearance, Barrio Negro was treated as the most formiddable of the three rather than Siniestro de la Muerte.

->'''Played by:''' Lorenzo Lamas

* InTheBlood: Said to be descended from one of the Aztec tribes.

* InTheBlood: Was a descendant of the Jaguar Tribe.

* InTheBlood: He was a Guerrero alright. Which meant he was just as treacherous and sneaky as the rest of the family.

* BadassGay: Pimpinela's performer is openly gay, a phenomenon that is actually quite recent in ''exoticos'', so his performance was a little more involved than the usual ''exotico''. He also kicked copious amounts of ass in the ring.

* EvilVsEvil: Her animosity with Dario Cueto was very much this.

* NeverLiveItDown: While Konnan showed complete sincerity in claiming to have only Puma's best interests in mind, Vampiro insisted at every opportunity on accusing him of [[TheCorrupter wanting to corrupt Puma]] and [[TheSvengali only using him for his own gain.]] Oh, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and of being ugly.]]

* PutOnABus: Disappeared mid-season 2. The original Bengala has since given the mask and gimmick to another, and it is currently unknown whether the new Bengala will appear for Lucha Underground.

Sexy was tormented by the two between seasons, and soon managed to escape from them...though Marty's sister was still after her. Returned to the Temple proper to face newcomer Kobra Moon, but lost to her thanks to a distraction by Marty. Cheered on The Mack at his request against Marty, but was reduced to a cowering wreck upon the entrance of Mariposa, and later lost a match to her. Following a pep talk from The Mack, Sexy faced her fears and took the fight to Mariposa, saving Mack from a beatdown. Dario later convinced Sexy to fight Mariposa in a "No Mas" match for an Aztec Medallion. After a brutal, bloody spectacle, Sexy finally overcame her nemesis by forcing Mariposa to yell "No mas!" -- "No more!" -- winning the Medallion. After The Mack had shown friendship in the past, and helped thwart multiple interference attempts by Marty, the two fully embraced in the ring as [[TrueCompanions best friends]], with Mack [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments personally awarding her the Medallion she won.]] Failed to win the Gift of the Gods. Competed in a 12-person match for a chance at #1 Contendership, but her team lost. Was forced to team with Mariposa in an attempt to claim an Aztec Medallion; though they fought amongst themselves during the match, they were ultimately successful. In her third attempt at the Gift of the Gods, she formed a temporary alliance with Killshot then triumphed over her old foes the Moth siblings to finally win it.

* SpotMonkey: Has TWICE done what's still considered to be the craziest stunt pulled yet on ''Lucha Underground'': hitting a flying move into the ring from '''on top of Dario Cueto's office'''. The first time, it was a flying crossbody on The Crew, the second time it was a missile dropkick on Cortez Castro while he was on top of a ladder. Both times, it looked like he '''died''' performing it. And both times [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome the crowd (and Vampiro) went absolutely apeshit]].

* WouldHitAGirl: Obviously you have to if you're facing [[ActionGirl Sexy Star]]... but Killshot crossed the line by actually ''chopping her in the chest''. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Even a random guy in the crowd exclaimed "That ain't right!" when it happened]].

* {{Tweener}}: Was a full-on heel, but his betrayal by The Crew made him reconsider.

* {{Tweener}}: Was thus upon first coming into the Temple, as he had no beef with anyone, but wasn't allied with anyone beyond his teammates. He's also been shown to be respectful of other competitors, though, as evidenced when he shook hands with Fenix before their bout. After the Trios tournament, he quickly targeted King Cuerno, so it might've been a sign that he was going to be a [[{{Face}} face]]. Since then, he's mainly targeted rudos.

* BadassGrandpa: In the intro of the very first episode of ''Lucha Underground'', he singlehandedly beat the crap out of three young gangbangers who were attacking the young tough who'd later become Dragon Azteca Jr.
* HeroicSacrifice: Was aiming to make one to save Black Lotus, as a prophecy stated that if he set foot in the Temple that he would die. Did not work, see SenselessSacrifice below.

* [[MentorArchetype Mentor]]: To Black Lotus and Dragon Azteca Jr. He also was one to Prince Puma, since he was the one that inspired him to follow the path of the luchador before Konnan started mentoring him, and Puma returned the favor by helping him to 'kidnap' Black Lotus. In Season 2, it was revealed that he was also Rey Mysterio's mentor.

!![=DelAvar=] Daivari

* AGlassOfChianti: Not wine, but Daivari was often seen sipping a glass of (what was probably very expensive) whisky. He even was drinking a glass of the stuff inside the ring while waiting to start his first match against Texano!
* ArchEnemy: Became one for Texano without even being an active wrestler at the time.
* BloodKnight: His main reason to come to the Temple: Dario Cueto liked to observe violence, Daivari liked to inflict it.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Never heard from again after Season 1. The only 'mention' of him since was a photograph of him appearing in Captain Vasquez's office alongside photographs of Alberto El Patron, Konnan, Hernandez and Big Ryck under a Missing Persons banner.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: Both his ring attire and his title of The Golden Warrior. Also, the whisky he drank was a golden brown color.
* HateSink: To the point where fans openly cheered '''''Texano''''' over him. The only guy who got more hate at the time was Hernandez.
* StatusCellPhone: He was constantly texting and having conversations on his phone. It served double duty as a way to condescend to people by putting more attention to the phone than the person, as Dario Cueto found out.

* NoodleIncident: Mascarita was somehow familiar with the White Rabbit, seeing as he took the Rabbit Tribe to this eponymous figure at the end of Season 3. How exactly did Mascarita know about him?

Sexy was tormented by the two between seasons, and soon managed to escape from them...though Marty's sister was still after her. Returned to the Temple proper to face newcomer Kobra Moon, but lost to her thanks to a distraction by Marty. Cheered on The Mack at his request against Marty, but was reduced to a cowering wreck upon the entrance of Mariposa, and later lost a match to her. Following a pep talk from The Mack, Sexy faced her fears and took the fight to Mariposa, saving Mack from a beatdown. Dario later convinced Sexy to fight Mariposa in a "No Mas" match for an Aztec Medallion. After a brutal, bloody spectacle, Sexy finally overcame her nemesis by forcing Mariposa to yell "No mas!" -- "No more!" -- winning the Medallion. After The Mack had shown friendship in the past, and helped thwart multiple interference attempts by Marty, the two fully embraced in the ring as [[TrueCompanions best friends]], with Mack [[CrowningMomentofHeartwarming personally awarding her the Medallion she won.]] Failed to win the Gift of the Gods. Competed in a 12-person match for a chance at #1 Contendership, but her team lost. Was forced to team with Mariposa in an attempt to claim an Aztec Medallion; though they fought amongst themselves during the match, they were ultimately successful. In her third attempt at the Gift of the Gods, she formed a temporary alliance with Killshot then triumphed over her old foes the Moth siblings to finally win it.

* SpotMonkey: Has TWICE done what's still considered to be the craziest stunt pulled yet on ''Lucha Underground'': hitting a flying move into the ring from '''on top of Dario Cueto's office'''. The first time, it was a flying crossbody on The Crew, the second time it was a missile dropkick on Cortez Castro while he was on top of a ladder. Both times, it looked like he '''died''' performing it. And both times [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome the crowd (and Vampiro) went absolutely apeshit]].

* WouldHitAGirl: Obviously you have to if you're facing [[ActionGirl Sexy Star]]... but Killshot crossed the line by actually ''chopping her in the chest''. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Even a random guy in the crowd exclaimed "That ain't right!" when it happened]].
