History:

HELLLLLLLLLLLL-Lo, Linchy-ites, and ICWF’ers, this is an ode to El Linchador de la Coruna de Bourbon Dynastasio. There isn’t enough space to write about the joy and wonder that this man has brought upon the people of the world. His warm, engaging smile… the hop in his step each time coming down the entryway... the time he takes to sign each and every autograph after a house show... El Linchador is truly a gift to the world... and single women. But, everyone knows how El Linchador came to be, but what of his time in ICWF? What makes him worth a spot amongst the assembled legends of the ICWF? Well, let’s start from the beginning... well, a little like the beginning... okay, not birth, but close...

El Linchador led a happy childhood. He played in mud, ate crayons, made poop sculptures out of the remnants of his lunch, but most importantly, he always made the other children in La Coruna laugh. His father was a great bullfighter, and wanted both his boys to follow in his footsteps. While his older brother El Probador was already establishing a name for himself as a premiere "torerro", El Linchador had a different idea of competition. Wrestling. As it would turn out, the scrawny Spaniard was actually GOOD! The child of the famous “El Toreador”, El Linchador won not only all his matches – and was an unprecedented two-time Country of Spain’s World International Champion (see, he retired, then came back, then re-won the belt) – but also won over the hearts of his countrymen (and women). His father still disapproved, but quietly was proud of his son’s great achievements in wrestling. However, an angry opponent, having been unable to defeat El Linchador, had Linchy’s father beaten and battered. The attack gave Linchy’s father serious injuries, some that were permanent. These injuries forced El Linchador’s father to retire from the sport of bullfighting – something so dear to his heart, that Linchy and his father had a severe break in their relationship. El Linchador left for America, happy to search for new challenges, but saddened at the strained family relationships. Linchy was still a hero to all, but to his father, he was a black sheep. In 1997, El Linchador moved to the USA.

The only gift El Linchador’s father gave to his son was the name of a great trainer friend of his, Pedro Esquille. Although his father was more than unhappy, he still wanted to give his younger son all the help he could. Almost out of the fitness and training business at the time, Pedro decided to take El Linchador on as his sole client as a favor to the famous bull-fighting father. From small fed to small fed, El Linchador gained experience and accolades, and both men enjoyed the successes of small, loyal fan bases and title reigns.

Years passed before El Linchador arrived in the ICWF on June 9, 2000. On Friday Night Heat, El Linchador made his ICWF debut against a man called Brian “Stinky Butt” Mysterio (“Stinky Butt” was a nickname given to Brian by El Linchador. Mysterio did not like the nickname that much). Linchy, as his fans refer to him as, would win this debut match, and quickly set his eyes on the Lightweight title. This was the beginning of a glorious career in an incredible federation.

El Linchador took much pride in the Lightweight division. Too often in the larger, more commercial federations, the big men were promoted and pushed as the dominant ones – the hi-flyers, the cruiserwieghts, the lightweights, and the luchadors were regulated to opening bouts, or seen as mere sideshow attractions. Some federations even deemed lightweights so lowly, that they would never get a shot at the main events! Fortunately, the ICWF did not share these prejudices against lightweights. El Linchador knew that his destiny not only called for him to redefine the lightweight class for the rest of the world to see, but also to live up to the greats that came before him – especially those in the ICWF such as Twiztid, Suicidal Juvenal, and so on. He was now on a world stage, with some of the best in the business mere lockers away from him. His first challenge came quickly.

A 3-way match for the #1 contendership for the Lightweight title was soon set shortly after El Linchador’s impressive start in the federation. It was a thrilling match – “Stinky Butt” Mysterio, El Linchador, and a man named Jason Storm were all fighting for this wonderful chance. Mysterio was eliminated first, leaving Linchy and Storm. However, the ending would be controversial - even after reviewing the conclusion of the match with various camera angles, the referees could not determine who was the victor. Since no conclusive evidence could determine which man won the contest that evening, the two would next meet in a cage to decide the true winner, as well as the next contender for the ICWF World Lightweight title.

June 20, 2000 was El Linchador’s first main event in the ICWF. A win here would have given El Linchador a wonderful boost in a short time in the ICWF. After a grueling match, El Linchador went on to beat Jason Storm, and get his first chance at what has become a big part of his legacy.

After a tough loss to Punisher, El Linchador was to get his shot against the legendary Suicidal Juvenal for the Lightweight Championship. The setting was Bad Blood II, El Linchador’s first ICWF Pay-Per-View. El Linchador put all he had on the line facing one of his idols. Somehow, El Linchador came out the victor – and champion! This was one of the most important moments in not only El Linchador’s ICWF career, but in his career as a professional athlete. His first title defense soon followed. At the time, Linchy did not know who this slimmed-down Kylo was. But, El Linchador defended his title successfully, and continued his reign. Until...

July 14th of that year. This was to be the first big defeat of Linchy’s stay in ICWF. After making such a strong debut and winning the Lightweight title, El Linchador was face with a rejuvenated Jason Storm. Storm was the better man that evening, and won the Lightweight title.

After a great grudge match versus Gabe Andrews, El Linchador’s stock rose within the company and with the fans. While his loss of the Lightweight title was still a disappointment, and an even bigger opportunity arose with Insane Rumble 2000. Amongst all the other compeitors, he and William Haynes fought wonderfully in the Battle Royale, and they ended up being the last two competitors left. Even though William Haynes ended up winning, El Linchador had won the respect he so coveted. Linchy worshipped his fans, and they likewise cheered him on. If William Haynes would’ve won the World title at the following Pay-Per-View, he had promised El Linchador a shot. However, none of those scenarios were to play out. Sadly, shortly after Insane Rumble 2000, the ICWF closed its doors.

El Linchador took a personal break from the sport for awhile, tending to family affairs. While the ICWF returned later that fall of 2000, El Linchador did not – right away. It wasn’t until over a year later that El Linchador would sign another ICWF contract. On February 28, 2001, El Linchador returned, only to lose at Insane Massacre II along with Jake Navaja to the retaining Lightweight champion, Curt Canon. El Linchador was not himself, and could not buy a victory for a few months, and contemplated retirement from the industry altogether. After his loss at Deadly Revenge III, on April 28th, 2001, El Linchador had told the world that he would hang up his boots – for good. Along with El Linchador, the wrestling world saw ICWF close its doors once more.

But, the best was yet to come. It wasn’t until February of 2002 that El Linchador would decide to return to action yet again. This was to be the run that set him apart from his predecessors. After a few victories, El Linchador stormed back to the ICWF and defeated Pit Viper on February 24th, 2002 at Insane Massacre III to win his second Lightweight Championship. El Linchador would not lose the title again.

During this time, the FTF stable was born, and was the cause of much trouble. El Linchador decided to join forces with the House of Pain to fight these evil-doers, as any fan-favorite should do. But, the FTF was pulling strings high up in the booking department. For instance, El Linchador was forced to fight along side the FTF at Ultimate Survival III, and was eliminated early in the match. Although El Linchador was racking up a great win/loss record, the main-eventers were still superior to him.

Deadly Revenge IV, on April 28th, 2002, was one of El Linchador’s favorite title defenses. He faced not only a quite diligent and unrelenting Angel, but also a fresh-faced, bright-eyed rookie named Jay Maddox. One of his tougher battles, El Linchador somehow won the match, retaining his title, but both of his opponents won something too – El Linchador’s utmost respect.

With all his success in the Lightweight division, El Linchador began to desire something bigger. The only title belt in El Linchador’s eyes that was grander than his own was the ICWF World title. His first attempt at it was a 4-way World title contender match. May 10th of 2002 saw El Linchador, Killa Kali, SilverFreak, and Titan 3 all battle for the chance at the World title. Titan 3 won the match, but El Linchador realized his new goal – win the biggest prize in the federation!

A bit of wind came out of Linchy’s sails at Masters of the Mat on May 26th, 2002, when seeded high in the tournament, he lost to an up-and-coming star in Andrew Logan. What really hurt was that El Linchador’s best chance at the title escaped from his grasp in the very first round. This loss at MOM led to a small losing streak.

It wasn’t until June 30th, 2002, at Bad Blood III, that El Linchador finally broke out of his slump – and just in time. He defeated Lil Joker to retain his Lightweight title. He then took on a powerful and threatening Eli Johnson at Extreme Measures II on July 28th, 2002, but managed to hang on to his title yet once more.

Then, on Friday Night Heat, August 16th, 2002, an amazing thing happened. El Linchador was booked to fight the current World Champion, Kylo. If El Linchador could find a way to win, he would BE the World Champion. His dream was here. A gift from the heavens. Amazingly, El Linchador won, but his victory, and subsequent reign, was tainted slightly – Kylo had been injured before the match. Although Linchy’s die-hard fans rejoiced in this amazing fusion of the Lightweight Champion and the World Champion – also becoming the only Lightweight to win the World title - others criticized the merits of the victory. El Linchador would have his chance to prove the nay-sayers wrong.

Clash of the Champions II – the date was August 25th, 2002. An amazing tournament was created to find out who was TRULY the champion of the ICWF. The rules were simple – every title-holder was placed in a bracket, and each time a person was victorious, they took their opponent’s belt. The winner in the finals would, in essence, have every title belt – for a week. The only belt the winner would truly “win”, however, was the World title. This was El Linchador’s chance to show the world, and his fans, that he was deserving of his title as World Champion. A grueling tournament ensued – and it was one of the most incredible ICWF Pay-Per-Views ever. The others fell, and the two remaining for the final match was El Linchador… and Titan 3. Titan 3, a man much bigger in size and strength, and El Linchador’s biggest rival was the only obstacle left in Linchy’s way. To defeat such an incredible opponent would truly give El Linchador’s title reign meaning and respectability… However, it was not to occur that evening. Titan 3 won the match, and the Tournament, holding all the titles in the ICWF, before returning all but one to their original owners – the World! Titan 3 became the first ever Grand Slam Champion, and El Linchador took the loss hard. He knew the better man had won, but also now realized the only way to get at the ICWF World title now was through a man he had never defeated – Titan 3.

A rematch was quickly signed, to take place at Insane Rumble III. Titan 3, however, proved dominant once more, and retained the World title with dominance. El Linchador would defend his title twice more, the last being at the final ICWF Pay-Per-View of 2002, and supposedly forever, at Halloween Riot. He defeated Jason Blood, solidifying his place in the ICWF record books as one of the greatest lightweights in ICWF history.

This is where the story should end. But it isn’t. To much fanfare, the ICWF is once again reopening its doors. El Linchador will once again return to action, and defend his title until he is defeated, as well as searching for a way to win back the ICWF World title. As El Linchador would say, “‘til next time, remember: I am El Linchador, hear me roar!”

OLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
