Brief Character Bio: Cousins Esteban and Diego are third generation Mexican-American wrestlers. Their paternal Grandfather, Manuel Ramirez, was a well-respected grappler in Mexico during the late 50's and early 60's. And the apples didn't fall far from the tree when his two sons, Esteban and Diego, entered the business in the late 1970's. The Ramirez Brothers, as they were commonly known, became a staple of the Mexican tag team wrestling scene, before pursuing bigger and better things in the American territories, where they eventually settled and became household names in Phoenix, Arizona.
Twenty years on and their own sons, Diego and Esteban Jr, respectively, started out on their own journey in the squared circle. Conscious of their grappling heritage, they began looking for work outside of their home state, to create their own legacies and avoid accusations of nepotism. But the early years didn't go well for the cousins, and they failed to make an impact on the independent wrestling scene, and thus, after much consideration they went back to their roots, working small shows in and around the state of Arizona under the names Juan Fall (Diego) and El Victorio (Esteban). After a successful run and some new found confidence they relocated to Wichita, Kansas and signed with the reputable Extremely Hardcore Wrestling. The move proved to be a success, and they quickly established themselves as number one contenders to the Tag Team Championships, capturing the titles at the following Pay Per View in a three way dance with the Jackson Two and the Zulu Nation. After a successful two month run with the belts, and a brief spell as Cruiserweight champion for Esteban, EHW closed its doors, and the brothers moved onto pastures new. A new federation, the Total Carnage Wrestling Order, based out of New York, we're looking to bolster their tag team division, and signed the duo after seeing their previous work. An eight team tournament was created for the vacant belts which the cousins, now wrestling under their real names once more, were eliminated in the semi-finals. After shifting their interests to singles competition, resulting in a successful stint as US champion for Esteban, they set their sights back on the Tag Titles, winning a six team over the top rope battle royal, when Esteban became the last man standing. Two weeks later they went on to topple the undefeated champions, The Bringers of Chaos, in a ladder match to become two-time World Tag Team champions. Unfortunately, after only one successful defence, and with Esteban still the reigning US champion, the company closed its doors, leaving the pair out of work once more. After a brief spell south of the border on the Mexican independent scene, they signed long term deals with the progressive New Generation Wrestling, debuting in April 2016.

'Mexico' by Elvis Presley begins to blare through the PA system as Esteban and Diego walk out from the back in their familiar sombreros, closely followed by Lucia Lopez.
Shae: Ladies and gentlemen, at a combined weight of four hundred pounds, from Phoenix, Arizona, they are Esteban and Diego, and they are...
Crowd: THOSE! DAMNED! MEXICANS!
The cousins raise their fingers in the air in time with the crowd chants, before making their way down the entrance ramp and up onto the ring apron. They hold open the ropes for Lucia to climb through, much to the delight of the men in the crowd, before entering the ring themselves. Once inside the ring they climb upon opposite turnbuckles and pull plastic toy guns from their tights, firing them in the air. They spin the guns on their fingers and pretend the blow away excess smoke from the ends much to the fans delight.
