[edit] Wrestling Story
Formerly known as Espy. The fans, the refs, and Kahyman killed the spirit of Espy. Once a Latin Dancing, shoulder shrugging, happy person has know been introduced to the "Dark" side. Espy died, and has been resurrected and know goes by his real name, Brandon Espinosa.
[edit] Apperence
As Brandon Espinosa, he has now started using "The Crow"[1] look. He wears black paint around his eyes and a thorn comes down from each eye. The thorns represent what his last name means in spanish, "Thorn" or "Spine." He also has the Stigmata signs as a symbol of being crucified by the fans. As a tribute to one of his inspirations, he has the Straight Edge X on his wrist tape. He also puts Betrayal on his left fist on the wrist tape as he was betrayed by an ex-girlfriend during the beginning of his journey as a professional wrestler. He keeps it on his fist as a reminder to never fall for a girl again so quickly. Also has Mi Passion and Mi Raza on his left fist. It is spanish for My Passion and My Race. Check out his right wrist to because it normally tells his relationship status.
[edit] Story Behind
As Espy, Brandon started off with the Lucha style of wrestling. After his second match, one of Brandon's big influences died, Eddie Guerrero. After Eddie's death, Brandon adapted the Frog Splash to keep the Latin finisher alive, also as a tribute to Eddie. The Mood Swing was first introduced December 3rd. It now is the basis behind Brandon's transformation. After a few months Brandon started to be more daring and adapted the "No Fear" policy and learned more high-flying moves. Brandon made a quick impact in MMWA-SICW, becoming the number one contender for the Missouri-Illinois Jr. Heavyweight Championship after 3 short months. Though his efforts came up short to claim the title in January, it did not slow him down. Up until this past month, Brandon did not loose another match since January in MMWA-SICW. His lose started the "dark" transformation. He debuted his new look, fully with his Mind Freak entrance theme, on December 9th at the Lethal Wrestling Alliance. The fans did not know how to react to the new "Espy," now called Brandon Espinosa.
