Background
Zapatino is the smallest Huracan wrestler but you’d be wrong to underestimate him as he always comes good in the fights most loaded against him. On more than one occasion his opponents have slipped, come unstuck or even mysteriously passed out just as they seemed on the verge of delivering the coup de grace. And they all finish gulping for air after his "Zapata Head-Butt" that sends them flying. In Los Santos, touching Zapatino's head is even thought to bring you good luck!

- His name could be a tribute to Emiliano Zapata, one of the leaders of 1910's Mexican Revolution.
