[edit] Early life

Little is known about Delikado's early life other than he grew up in Cuba as the oldest of four children in a single parent home. Urged to make something of himself by family and peers, Delikado left Cuba and moved to an unspecified part of Florida. He was eventually "discovered" by Kurt Noble, a small-time wrestling competitor at the time. Noble noticed that Delikado was indeed a fierce competitor in the ring, and he strongly urged Delikado to think of a wrestling career. With nothing to lose, Delikado trained for over a year before pursuing a wrestling promotion suitable for a newcomer like himself.

[edit] Professional wrestling career

[edit] 2006

[edit] Ultimate Vendetta Wrestling- Debut

In early November of 2006, Delikado made his debut in UVW as an arrogant heel who disrespected authority. In his arrogance, Delikado issued a challenge to owner Pat Doyle but the match was never agreed upon. Delikado's decision to join UVW proved pointless, as the company fell apart right after he joined. Disappointed, Delikado left UVW and turned his attention to a competing company that had just been established-a company that would show the limitless potential of Delikado...Kingdom of Pride.

[edit] Kingdom of Pride

Delikado won the Kingdom of Pride Syndicate Championship shortly after joining Pride. He retained it against opponents such as Christian Kane, Seraph, and Smart Mark. Delikado held on to the title until Pride closed its doors for almost a month for management reasons. When it reopened, Delikado was stripped of the title and failed to regain it from rival Seraph. Rather than hunt for the Syndicate title, Delikado began to move up the roster by betraying former friends and the fans by joining a heel group known as Abandoned Ancestry, becoming a key member. The group engaged in a power struggle against a rival faction known as Generation Revenge but this was short-lived. The team began to show some cracks, however, when members Kurt Noble and Rob Hero were violently removed from the group in the form of (kayfabe) stabbings by Delikado and Kane. Just before Pride closed again, Delikado "won" his first Heavyweight Championship when AA leader Rick Calderez let Delikado pin him in a title match. Delikado ultimately lost the title in a few weeks. Things fell apart quickly for Delikado in and out of the ring. With a combination of family issues and mental exhaustion, Delikado left Pride and did not return for several months. Pride fell through for a second and longer time.

[edit] 2007

[edit] NWA Grind

Delikado made his debut as a participant in the NWA Grind Heavyweight Championship Battle Royale, being eliminated by Jared, one of the commentators. This was brought on when Delikado attacked Jared earlier in the show while playing a prank on the fans. He and Jared would feud with Delikado defeating Jared in a Parking Lot Brawl at Grind's first PPV. The following week, he would defeat Kurt Noble in a House of Cards match after a copycat Kurt interfered. Delikado went on to defeat Matt Mathews, ending his un-pinned streak that lasted over a year. Defeating Mathews gave Delikado a spot in the Full Metal Mayhem Match but he continued to provoke Mathews and his girlfriend Kayla Stone until he was arrested. Delikado would not appear on-screen after this, and Grind folded very soon.

[edit] 2008

[edit] Quixotic Wrestling League

Delikado would join QWL, a company run by friend Kurt Noble, in June 2008. He would win the QWL Superabundance Battle Royal and team up with Smart Mark to defeat the team of Mr. Hollywood and Ivan. However, the QWL would fall under hard times and the promotion closed. In an interview, Delikado stated he wished he could've helped the company and Noble more after Noble helped him, but the hardships proved overwhelming. However, he also stated he would return to QWL "in a heartbeat" should the opportunity arise.

[edit] Phenomenal Wrestling Organization

After QWL changed management and name, becoming the Phenomenal Wrestling Organization, Delikado was placed alongside Mark in a match against The Outcast for the PWO Tag Titles. The two came out victorious, but co-GM Robert Banks stripped the duo of the titles and awarded the titles to The Outcast, the last QWL Couplet Champions. This was also PWO's first and last show due to unpopluarity towards a hardcore-based company at the time. Delikado and Mark split after this and Delikado went on a short break to spend time with his family.

[edit] Universal Wrestling League

It wasn't long before Delikado signed with the highly popular Universal Wrestling League after noticing many QWL competitors had done the same. Delikado made his debut in UWL losing to Martin Bernsten. After the match, Delikado was hit over the head by his own bottle of champagne. Delikado lost to El Chupacabras Majestuoso after having mist sprayed in his face at Pure Aggression the following week. Delikado went up against Bernsten again, this time scoring a victory before trying to smash a bottle over Bernsten's head. The two men were then scheduled two weeks later to a match at Venom vs. Hunter II where they would end their dispute. Delikado was defeated by Jerry McClean the following week but he went on to defeat Bernsten at Venom vs. Hunter II, Ares Guerrero at a TV Taping, and Nick Pickles at Southern Comfort. Delikado's next match was talked about more than usual due to the fact that his opponent, Flap Flanagan, had turned heel and many were curious to see how he would turn out. The outcome saw Delikado defeat Flanagan with the Last Call to Cuba. This proved to be enough success, as Delikado received a World Title match against Robbie Venom. While Delikado came up short, it seemed maybe his early string of bad luck was changing. At Three Year Celebration, UWL's final card before taking an offseason, Delikado lost to former fellow Pride member Obscene in the opening match. Delikado was scheduled in a UWL Heritage Title # 1 Contenders match against Kurt Noble, Ares Guerrero, and Flap Flanagan set after the offseason but the company surprisingly folded before the offseason ended.

[edit] 2009

[edit] Returning to Kingdom of Pride

In early 2009, Kingdom of Pride reopened and word quickly spread. Without a second thought, Delikado signed an exclusive contract and became the first Pride Original to return. He made his return in a Three Way Dance at "Pride, Glory, and Valiance" against Alex Evans and Christian Kane. Delikado won this match and went on to defeat The Phenomenal Blu and Robbie Venom to win his second Valiant Championship. Following his victory, members of BTE expressed legitimite concern that Robbie had been "screwed" out of becoming champion. While the matter was never fully discussed, it did create tension in the company that would ultimately lead to its downfall. Regardless of the controversy, Delikado would face Shawn Stevens and Johnny Dalton the following week in what became a handicap match after Mark Faith took out Delikado's partner, The Phenomenal Blu. Delikado fought strong, but he was pinned by Stevens. Delikado would successfully defend his Valiant Championship against Robbie Venom, who earned a title shot that night, the following week. Unfortunately, Pride's earlier problems caused owner Jeremy Sterling to close down Pride the week after this, leaving Delikado the final Valiant Champion.

In March of 2009, Delikado strongly considered retirement but he has stated that he would be signing a contract with a wrestling promotion in addition to competeting at SuperMania 5. This promotion would later be revealed as Pro Wrestling FIRE.

[edit] Pro Wrestling FIRE

On April 26, Delikado signed an exclusive contract with PWF. Delikado debuted on May 3rd, at the DVD Taping "Arch Enemies", defeating fellow Spanish wrestler Caos. He went on to defeat Flapzilla at the 21st Internet Taping. Delikado suffered his first loss in PWF to veteran Jack Benevolence the following week and was also attacked by Paul York for an incident earlier in the show. Delikado would lost in a triple threat between Tala, Hangman, and himself when Tala pinned Hangman. He would team with Hangman and Paul Sant to a losing effort against Tala, Frankie Alix, and Reck Maverick, although he was not pinned once again. This string of bad luck continued when Paul York pinned Delikado in a Hardcore match the following week at the DVD Taping. Despite these losses, Delikado was awarded a Ring of Fire Qualifying match against Kailus Holmes, where he came out victorious.

The following week, Delikado was set to face PWF Heavyweight Champion Kurt Noble in a non-title match. Delikado lost the match by submission, but he helped Kurt fend off a would-be attacker in Jack Benevolence. During this scuffle, Noble accidentally hit Delikado with the title belt. This was not received well by Delikado, who proceeded to recover and hit Noble with the Last Call to Cuba after seemingly forgiving him. Delikado, bragging about his actions, faced Leon Tyrell the following week, again losing by submission. Delikado would pick up a victory against Pristine Champion Adam Abel but he was also betrayed bt longtime friend Chrsitian Kane. Deli also failed to win the Ring of FIRE match. The next card showed Delikado teaming up with enemy (and, ironically, the man who eliminated him from the Ring of FIRE) Paul York to face Kane and Jack Benevolence, which they won after Delikado hit the Last Call to Cuba on Kane, gaining some revenge at the same time. Delikado went on to challenge Kurt Noble for the second time for the PWF World Heavyweight Championship, but he came up short once again, losing to a roll-up. Delikado then teamed up with the Sky Pirates V.2 (Johnny Taylor and Keith Skyfire) to take on The Collective. (consisting of Christian Kane, Jeof Caravelle, and Dustin Douglas) Upon winning the match, Delikado and the Sky Pirates engaged in a brawl that eventually included the rest of The Collective as well as Paul York, Garrett Black, and Thibor Dragosani, with Delikado and the rest of the non-Collective members standing triumphant. This new faction came together the following week as OMEGA, a unit established to finally rid PWF of The Collective.

Delikado went on to win a Pristine #1 Contendership match after winning a Gauntlet match that included Thibor, Mark Semmel, and two newcomers Brendan Flannigan and Damien DeNiro. Delikado won the Pristine title match against champion Adam Abel the following week to become the new PWF Pristine Champion. He then teamed up with OMEGA teammate Garrett Black to face Abel and Jack Benevolence. The two won the match and it was announced-after a second brawl-that the two teams (Collective and OMEGA) would face at Price of Freedom in a match where the losing team would be forced to disband. Delikado wrestled longtime rival Christian Kane for the first time in two years after this, with the match ending in a draw. Pushing forward with momentum, Delikado defeated Jeof Caravelle in an Anything Goes match with the Last Call to Cuba. At Price of Freedom, Delikado and the rest of OMEGA will face The Collective in a Five on Five Steel Cage Match where the losing team will be forced to disband.

[edit] Supermania V

On June 28, 2009, Delikado, representing PWF, defeated Zack Snyder, who represented Pro Wrestling Honor (PWH), after hitting him with the Cuban's Wrath.
