8	!! "The Notorious Tropes":
9	* BadassesWearBandanas: Sometimes one on top of another, [[CheapHeat to hand out to fans]].
10	* BaitAndSwitch: The Murder City Machine Guns still had issues with The Age Of The Fall, Steenerico and The Briscoes, but they were pulled out of ROH in October and replaced with...well the event was named ''Return Of The 187'', and he brought Hotstuff Hernandez with him.
11	* BashBrothers: With B-Boy, Wrestling/LowKi, Hernandez, Eddie Kingston
12	* BigDamnHeroes - When everyone thought ROH would lose to CZW in Cage of Death...
13	* BrooklynRage: Essentially embodies what his pupil, Low Ki, would rather not.
14	* CharacterTitle
15	** JAPW ''Funkin' Homicide'' in 2003 (Homicide vs Wrestling/TerryFunk in the main event)
16	** ''ROH Ring Of Homicide'' in 2006
17	** Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling ''When [[Wrestling/ChrisHero Hero]] Meets Homicide'' in 2006
18	** Game Changer Wrestling, ''A Tribute To Homicide'' in 2019
19	* CheapHeat: At ''Generation Next'' he claimed "You people" made him "fucking disgusted" but [[DefiedTrope he got cheered anyway]]. He yelled he didn't need "your chants" but that made them chant more.
20	* ClusterFBomb: One of the first to be slapped down by Sinclair Broadcast Group for cussing too much on their show, although he wasn't reprimanded as harshly as the others [[ForeignCurseWord because Spanish.]]
21	* ContinuityNod: During his TheBusCameBack moment during Wrestling/{{MLW}}’s inaugural Battle Riot match in 2018, his entrance consisted of his titantron listing his previous affiliation with Black Friday Management and played Low Ki’s music, as they were both part of the stable during MLW’s original run in 2004.
22	* CoolTeacher
23	** To The Christopher Street Connection, Becky Bayless, Low Ki, Dan Maff (originally referred to as Mafia), Julius Smokes and Monsta Mack though the latter was referred to by name on ''The Era Of Honor Begins'', he was later only referred to as Homicide's thug when the Rottweilers were together. He [[DrugsAreBad wasn't so happy]] to see two of his students become Azriel and Deranged of Special K. Outside of ROH you can also count Rycklon Stephens, Lizzy Valentine, Bandido Jr, Boogalou and Dimitrios Papadon.
24	** His students Laithon and Lowlife Louie Ramos eventually joined him as the head trainers of Long Island Wrestling Federation's doghouse.
25	* CopKiller: This is the name of his FinishingMove(as if the [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Kudo Driver]] needed a NameOfPower). He [[EraSpecificPersonality changed it to]] Gringo Killa after forming LAX.
26	* {{Crossover}}: One of those who invaded IWA Puerto Rico
27	* {{Expy}}: His early years saw him compared to Wrestling/NewJack.
28	** His tag team with Hernandez as LAX also drew comparisons to the Gangstas.
29	* FinishingMove: An oddity, as he doesn't actually like the kimura lock, but is good at winning matches with it when the situation calls for it. Also the [[Wrestling/JohnLaurinaitis Ace]] [[Wrestling/DiamondDallasPage Crusher]].
30	* {{Fingore}}: After reDRagon regained the tag team titles, he and Eddie Kingston sent them a message by breaking Kyle O'Reilly's fingers.
31	* ForeignWrestlingHeel: As a member of World Elite, even though he was American.
32	* ForkFencing: Went after everyone he didn't like at once backstage in a fork stabbing rampage. Oh, and he has a pair of shorts with a fork on them.
33	* GangBangers: Strong Style Thugz, Rottweilers, LAX, Beat Down Clan... yeah.
34	* HairTriggerTemper: As a member of World Elite, he was uncontrollable and would attack everyone from opponents to refs and announcers.
35	* HeroicBSOD - In 2006, he had shots at the Tag Team, Pure, and World titles, and lost in all three of them. Cue him quitting on ROH.
36	* HijackedByGanon: Homicide had on and off hostilities with him for at least a year but was hijacked by Legendary manager "Playboy" Gary Hart, who sent him and Wrestling/LowKi to attack Wrestling/TerryFunk at ''Wrestling/{{MLW}} Reload'' on January 10, 2004 as [[DisproportionateRetribution retribution for Funk losing the "I Quit" Match]] to Wrestling/RicFlair at ''NWA Clash of the Champions IX'' on ''November 15, 1989''.
37	* ImprovisedWeapon: MVP's been to prison but Homicide has a reputation for being able to make anything into a shank. His most improbable weapon might have been a blow torch on James Storm…it wasn't turned on.
38	* JackOfAllStats: Able to do it all pretty much, including pile drive Wrestling/SamoaJoe!
39	* MisterBig: He had this gimmick and served under one when the leader of the power stable wasn't immediately revealed. In Homicide's case were he lead "The Order" he was even called "Mr. Big"(sometimes with two [[SpellMyNameWithAnS gs]]) and in the other case he was one of many wrestlers working for as "Uncle Murda".
40	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: There's something wrong with a guy who identifies as ''Homicide''.
41	* NonIronicClown: Outlaw Inc disguised themselves as these such clowns, celebrating reDRagon's title retention, to set up an ambush. Still, Outlaw Inc retained a clown motif afterwards.
42	* PartsUnknown: Of a sort. LAX were billed from "The Latino Nation."
43	* PlayingWithFire: He got himself [=DQ'd=] against Samoa Joe at ''ROH Reborn Stage 1'', April 23, 2004. Julius Smokes turned the lights out and Homicide threw a fireball at Joe.
44	* PowerStable:
45	** (in Wrestling/{{AAA}}): Homicide was a foreigner at the time most of them were being put into La Legion Extranjera of Wrestling/{{Konnan}}
46	** (in TNA): Latin American Exchange, World Elite, Beat Down Clan, [=OGz=]
47	** (in ROH): The Rottweilers
48	** (in [[Wrestling/DragonGate Dragon Gate USA]]): World-1
49	** (in independents): Strong Style Thugs(usually a tag team with Low Ki)
50	** The Nation Of Immigration expanded from a tag team into one of these
51	* PowerTrio: The Evil Family when hooking up with The Hit Squad(Mafia and Monsta Mack)
52	* PutOnABus: Pulled out by TNA, but was also [[TheBusCameBack once pushed back in]] by TNA when it was trying to mend its relationship with ROH.
53	* RedBaron: "The Notorious 187"
54	* RedemptionQuest - The whole impetus for the "Road of Homicide" in the second half of 2006.
55	* SignatureMove: The homicide dive (Topé con hilorolling suicide dive)
56	* {{Spicy Latin\|a}}o: Oh yeah. His original ring name was The Latin Terror and he was a founding member of LAX.
57	* StandardFemaleGrabArea: Dragged off backstage interviewer Lauren Thompson when "Snowflake" did not respond to his compliments and gave Homicide the impression she did not date Latinos.
58	* TagTeam:
59	** (in TNA and elsewhere): LAX / [=OGz=], with Hernandez
60	** (in IWA Mid-South and ROH): Outlaw Inc., with Wrestling/EddieKingston
61	** (in JAPW): Nation of Immigration, with Kane D
62	** (in ROH and elsewhere): Natural Born Sinners, with Boogalou
63	** (in PWG, CZW, JAPW and Beyond): Team Friday with B-Boy
64	* TattooedCrook: A wrestling gangsta with plenty of ink on his left arm.
65	* TournamentArc
66	** Defeated Boogalou in the final round of the 2002 number one contender's tournament for the Impact Championship Wrestling Heavyweight Title belt.
67	** Team Friday defeated [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson American Dragon]] and Super Dragon in the final round of Wrestling/ProWrestlingGuerilla's TagTeam Title Tournament at the 2004 ''Tango And Clash Invitational''
68	** He defeated Wrestling/RoderickStrong, Jack Evans and Wrestling/AustinAries of Generation Next at the end of Ring Of Honor's 2005 trios tournament while teaming with Rottweilers stablemates The Havana Pitbulls Ricky Reyes and Rocky Romero.
69	** Hernandez and Homicide on the TNA Tag Team titles in TNA's ''Deuces Wild Tag Team Tournament'' of 2008 by defeating [[Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys Team 3D]] in the final round.
70	** Won the final four way match of New Horizon Pro Wrestling 2011 ''Global Conflict'' tournament by outlasting Kabel and Kris Taylor and Percy T, retaining his Art Of Fighting title belt in the process.
71	* UndyingLoyalty: Homicide is the one member who's been established as being ever-present in LAX through both of its incarnations despite never being the official leader. He was the one who ended the first run by turning on Hernandez when it was literally just the two of them and he was jealous of Hernandez' singles success, but less than a year later reconciled with him after the big man was injured by Wrestling/MattMorgan. While the two did side with Eddie Kingston over Konnan during the stable's EnemyCivilWar, he effectively had to choose which longtime friend to stand by between Konnan and King, so he went with the one who didn't just have him bodyguarding a strip club instead of getting in the ring.
72	* UnnecessaryRoughness: Homicide is a decent mat wrestler and decent at applying submissions, but there are guys better and he prefers to bite, eye rake and hit people with stuff once he's gotten a hold of them rather than traditionally wrestle.
73	* UrExample: He was the first ever PWU Heavyweight Champion.
74	* VerbalTic: Brra!
75	* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: Has worn the Puerto Rican flag on his bandanas.
