Name: Trick or Trash
Combined Weight: 458 lbs
Alignment: Face
Team Background: One of the most wonderful things about wrestling is when things that absolutely shouldn't work or at least be only be a one-match thing still somehow works. Case in point: The team of Halloween Knight and Mamífero De Basura, two luchadors that have nothing whatsoever in common, and were just put together for a random tag team match on Ground Zero. For whatever reason, things just 'clicked', and even with only limited experience teaming together, they just had a kind of seamless chemistry right from jump street. Yes, one might be a dancing skeleton, and the other might be a giant possum that hangs out in dumpsters, but they stand for the same things: Lucha culture, and wrestling being as wonderfully weird as possible.
Team Gimmick: Lucha Culture is wonderfully weird.
Tag Team Moveset:
Jump Scare (Fake out dive by Knight (often punctuated by Knight yelling out "BOO-!") followed by suicide dive by Trash, moonsault/senton by knight)
Pumpkin Patch II (Gutbuster/Diving leg drop)
Graveyard Smash (Basement dropkick/Tombstone Flapjack)
Dumpster Diver (launching dropkick into corner)
Trash O'Lantern (Total Elimination)
Tag Team Finisher:
Doomster (Like Dumpster? Get it? I don't know I don't think we came up with a name for this, so I came up with it on the fly-Codebreaker/Martiknees)

THE TRICK...
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/45177680/17_Nitro_12061999_0383.0.0.jpg)
Name: Halloween Knight
Halloween Knight: 221lbs
Height: 6ft 1in
Age: 48
Billed From: Torreon, Mexico
Alignment: Face
Background: Boo-! Did that Scare you?! Well I know something scarier, and that's the GHOULISH and FRIGHTFUL. Senior SPOOKS, Mr Halloween Knight! The man of a thousand bones is an iconic figure in Lucha Libre, one of the faces of Lucha Libre and one of the best all-rounders Lucha Libre had ever known. His golden period was between 1999 and 2005 when he seemed to chun out awesome matches on a near-nightly basis, but it was more then being a great wrestler, it's more then his infamous dance moves. It was more than his obsession with steel chairs. Halloween Knight was seen by many as the arch-defender of lucha culture, right down to the whole spooky outfit. The concept being simple. Whenever Lucha was dead, Halloween Knight would always be around to bring it back from the dead.
So you can imagine the surprise when Halloween Knight left his homeland and turned up on Ground Zero. The story goes that after a good twenty years, not even Halloween Knight could fight off time, and he was noticeably slowing down, and not even working one week a year stopped (The 31st of October to the 6th of November, or as it's most commonly known; Halloween to The Day Of The Dead. That week is always an event in Lucha land, as he runs down the ramp handing out candy, doing his fun little skeleton dance... Okay, it doesn't sound like much, but trust me, it's over like rover.)
So the Mexican big wigs went to Halloween Knight and offered him a big PPV for his retirement... and Halloween Knight responded by going to Dave Sullivan to offer his services for Ground Zero to prove he's as good as he ever was. While he didn't win, he impressed FWA officials enough to offer him a full-time contract. The idea was for him to debut around the 31st of October, but then his good buddy Trash Mammal got himself in trouble...
Gimmick: Chair swinging, jukebox dancing, spooky icon of Luca Libre.
Accomplishments: Finalist in Season Four of Ground Zero. -Lucha legend- Mascot of a national holiday.
Style of Wrestling: The majority of Halloween Knight's techniques come from modern Lucha Libre, with additional high-impact slams borrowed from American and Japanese wrestling. Along with practiced technical skills, Halloween Knight is a versatile, well-rounded luchador with an affinity for high risk maneuvers. Between his high-speed dives and his high-impact slams, opponents quickly feel the brunt of Halloween Knight offense.
For whatever reason, Halloween Knight truly LOVES using steel chairs in his offense whenever possible, in increasingly creative and elaborate ways including using them as launching pads or springboards for his attacks.
Trained in the traditional tecnico style of lucha libre, He's a bit at a loss against the more roughshod American "Southern" style and often ends up at a loss in a brawl.
Moveset:
Signature Moves:
Horrorcanrana- A Rana sometimes to an oncoming opponent while springboarding or from the top rope to an opponent sitting on the turnbuckle. Sometimes he dance walks across the top rope before delivering it
Monkey Flip to an cornered opponent
Three SPOOKY Suplexes- Triple Rolling Vertical Suplexs
TERROR Tornado DDT! -A springboard DDT, often preceded by his DANCE walking across the top rope.
Finishing Move:
Dia De Los Muertos - Jumping Spinning Wheel Kick, more often then not with the assistance of a steel chair ALA The Van Daminator
Cryptonite Crunch - Back to Belly Piledriver with neck cradled underneath the arm
SUPER FINISHER
THRILLER - Coast to Coast Dropkick (Sometimes with a Steel chair)

... And The Trash.
Name: Mamifero De Basura, or Trash Mammal for the more casually inclined.
Weight: 237lbs
Height: 6ft 1 in
Age: 23
Billed From: The Dumpster Out Back
Alignment: Face, to the point where he has a popular call-and-response chant with the fans. "EAT TRASH," clap clap, "KICK ASS", clap clap, "PLAY DEAD", clap clap. Makes for a good t-shirt.
Background: Throughout history, luchadores have ascended to stardom by taking on an animal motif for their gimmick. It really adds to the larger-than-life, borderline superhero persona. Where others would've adopted the threatening and intimidating motif of a dragon, the proud and vicious mask of a lion, or the sleek and elegant aura of a flamingo, a new name has stepped up to continue the long-time tradition in a more humble, modern way. Mamífero De Basura, aka, TRASH MAMMAL.
Taking on the noble and whimsical motif of the majestic possum, Mamífero De Basura keeps his opponents on their toes with wit and trickery, usually by 'playing dead' after visibly motioning for the audience to play along behind his opponent's back. He's obviously still pretty green as a wrestler, but has a pretty good knack of working a crowd, so even a nothing match with minimal workrate has the crowd interested purely through his antics. Eat trash, scream, play dead, get paid. It's a good slogan for a t-shirt, ain't it?
Brought in to Ground Zero Season Four for the LUCHA season, Mamifero De Basura quickly realized that while many of his competitors probably eclipsed him in terms of in-ring talent, and he'd like be an early boot. So he instead leaned into his out-of-ring traits, such as his charisma and drama to become Ground Zero's unofficial backstage correspondent to those who just got eliminated, managing to catch exclusive words with El Rey, Moochelle Von Cowowitz, Khronos, and Lone Shark, to name a few. That said, his hot scoop interviews seemed to be less 'interviews' and more 'thinly-veiled riffing on his guest.' Despite such, it got enough attention to keep him on a while longer than he should've, but his habit of kelptomania drew the ire of St. Sulley after - somehow - stealing the letter E from his name, thus briefly becoming the Trashé Mammal.
After getting - rightfully - booted from Ground Zero, Mamifero De Basura lurked around various FWA arenas, hoping to continue his schtick by attempting to ambush various FWA talent for one of his patented interviews. He had his attention set on Nate Savage & Jackson Fenix, however seems to have drawn the attention of their proteges, Kung Fu Boom, instead. After a heinous assault, he made a call to a partner, an ally he met during Ground Zero...
Gimmick: A giant possum (see: man in a possum suit (maybe)) who always seems to be in the dumpster closest to drama, attempting to turn himself into an unofficial backstage correspondent via hard-hitting, irrelevant shitpost-humor style cutting interviews to prop himself above whomever he's interviewing.
Accomplishments: Semi-Finalist of Ground Zero Season 4.
Style of Wrestling: Lucha Libre! A touch more grapple based than his lighter partner.
Moveset:
Signatures:
Springboard Spinning Elbow Strike
Cartwheel Death Valley Driver
Rolling Uppercut
(will probably add a few more in a bit)
Finishing moves:
Rabies Shot - Spinning Blue Thunder Bomb
Playing Possum - Nearly-inescapable pin trap, typically busted out by surprise.
Picbase: Big O Possum
