Name: Gran Dragon
Sex (M/F): Male
Alignment (H/F/N): Heel
Age: 25
Height: 6'2
Weight: 240lb
Hometown: Mexico City, Mexico
Wrestling Style: Lucha (Some Strong Style Elements)
Entrance Music: Mexico City March
Entrance Description (optional): The lights are sharply turned down, and over the speakers comes the theme "Mexico City March". The drum beat of the intro plays alone for a brief moment until the guitars kick in and the lights begin to alternate yellow and green in time with the beat of the music. Out from the curtain comes Aaron Rodriguez, whom turns to the entrance way and stops. He pauses a brief moment, then raises his arms in
celebration as the Gran Dragon makes his way down the ramp. Gran Dragon is walking with a quick, determined pace as in one leap he makes it to the apron, and in another he makes it into the ring. Rodriquez manages to place himself in the ring with considerably less grace. Gran Dragon raises his arms while Rodriquez kisses his feet before leaving the ring, leaving Dragon to shower abuse on the fans closest to ringside.
Physical Description: An impressively toned physique lies on the outside of a body which is clearly in peak physical condition. A silver mask with gold outline around the eyes is the chosen head adornment for the Dragon, while he wears a similar silver colour on his lower body attire, which progresses from his waist down to the top of his wrestling boots, which themselves are an extravagant gold colour. Silver wrist tape is worn by Gran Dragon, which is positioned at the end of the muscular arms of the lucha style wrestler.
Character History: Having been trained in Mexico, Gran Dragon worked his way from the lower leagues of the Mexican wrestling scene to the heights of CMLL, where he also progressed at a quick rate. He quickly racked up wins
over some of the established stars of the promotion, and was tipped to be a future champion. However, his arragant attitude kept him out of favor with the bookers, and earned him the contempt of many of the other wrestlers in CMLL. In fact, many of the other wrestlers complained about him to the point where the bosses decided they could not deal with the problems that having the talent on the roster would bring, and released him. Because he was out of favor with many influential men on the Mexican wrestling scene, he traveled to Japan, where he wrestled shows for both Zero-1 and even took on some of the junior heavyweights on NOAH shows. His matches were impressive, and both Zero-1 and NOAH felt satisfied from the trial matches he would soon be a top star in wrestling, and offered him contracts. However, Dragon felt he would soon become great, and demanded a massive salary, a salary which neither promotion would pay. Now without work, he has traveled to ACW in an attempt to prove his untapped greatness, and earn a contract which he so desires.
Catchphrase: "He is the man Mexico was too SCARED to have,
and the star that Japan could not afford - and the REAL main event of this show....Gran Dragon."
Other: Due to the fact that he apparantly speaks only his native language, he uses his manager - Aarron Rodriquez - to speak. He also claims to have perfected the Lucha style, which he also claims is the elite wrestling style in the world over all others.

Here is a small profile for Aaron Rodriguez:
Name: Aaron Rodriquez
Age: 42
Height: 5'10
Appearance: The slightly overwieght Rodriquez is smart in appearance, wearing a high quality suit with gold tie - matching the colour scheme of his signed talent, Gran Dragon. Throught the match he will often get worried or exited, and will end up removing his jacket and being visably exhausted in appearance. He has black hair.
Character History: At one point in his youth he planned to become a wrestler, like he had always aspired to be, but due to an injury sustained helping out build the ring at one show, he is now unable to fullfill his dream. He turned to managing, and saw Gran Dragon as one way to making the money and gaining the respect he wanted in wrestling, albeit by a different route then he had planned.
Catchphrases (as he speaks for the Gran Dragon) :
"He is the man Mexico was too SCARED to have,
and the star that Japan could not afford - and the REAL main event of this show....Gran Dragon."
"Sit down and shut up you arrogant filth" (when speaking to a fan).
"You all want what you can't have, but Gran Dragon has it in spades"
Moves: He has no real move set, but he will interfere in matches either by distracting the referee, or by throwing powder in the eyes of the opponent, which is forced from the end of his walking stick by compressed air.
