This past weekend was a 2-day long Wrestlemania event in “Dallas”. The spandex, the moves, the questionably large bulges, the athleticism, the oiliness. I found myself inspired and pondering what it would look like if each Austin FC player had a unique in-ring name, finishing move, weakness and entrance music. Here’s a few of my favorite concoctions:
Brad Stuver // “Follicle”
Finishing move: “Level 5 Hold”
From his personal stash, he produces a can of strong hold hairspray, which he then uses like bear mace to take down his opponent.
Weakness: The Noogie
Entrance Music: I’m Not Moving By Phil Collins
Nick Lima // “Thai Thighington”
Finishing Move: “Skull Crunch”
His opponent’s head is placed betwixt his thighs, and he simply flexes them until they tap out or die.
Weakness: There are none when your thighs look like this.
Entrance Music: The Sound Effect Of Godzilla’s Massively Toned Lizard Thighs Stomping Through A City.
Dani Pereira // “Chipp O’Tlay”
Finishing Move: “The Burrito Sandwich”
Using two poorly-made Chipotle burritos (presumably from earlier in the week, thus very stale) he smashes them on either side of his opponent’s head for a nearly-instant K.O..
Weakness: Not enough rice.
Entrance Song: The Chipotle Song
Sebastian Driussi // “Designer”
Finishing Move: “Brand Check”
This move can be done one of two ways. It is either a wedgie, executed so he can check the underwear brand of his opponent at eye-level, OR he pulls the collar of their shirt back far enough so he can read the brand name on the tag…while simultaneously choking them.
Weakness: Repeat outfits.
Entrance Music: Dior By Pop Smoke
Diego Fagundez // “The Car Salesman”
Finishing Move: “Deaths Door”
Once he subdues his opponent, he drags them to the parking garage and slams their fingers in the door of a car until they beg for death.
Weakness: Dealerships where all veterans aren’t welcome.
Entrance Music: Like A Rock By Bob Seger
Maxi Urruti // “Butcher”
Finishing Move: “Meat Sweats”
He feeds his opponent tasty meats straight off the grill before challenging them to a fight, wherein they inevitably tap out due to the meat sweats.
Weakness: Hearing someone order their meat “well done”.
Entrance Music: Meat Sweats by Bare Handed Bear Handlers

Huge thank you to Kerry T. for agreeing to do this many edits for me with one day notice. This article wouldn’t be possible without them.
