Dark Angel/Sarita Turns Rudo/Heel
Current CMLL and TNA luchadora/Knockout, Dark Angel (known in TNA as Sarita), went rudo/heel last week on Impact when she turned on her tag team partner (for the better part of the last year) Taylor Wilde following Taylor Wilde’s loss to TNA Knockouts Champion: Madison Rayne (see my recap here for the results: click here). Sarita and Taylor Wilde had been teasing tension the last few weeks on TNA’s International TV show (and web series) “Xplosion”. Sarita nailed Taylor with a vicious right hand at the end of the brawl:

Lizmark Jr. competed in WCW as a young star in the cruiserweight division in the mid-late 90’s and also competed in both AAA and CMLL. He made his biggest impact in CMLL where he became one of the top rudos and a member of Los Perros del Mal. Lizmark took the hair of Mascara Ano 2000 before losing his mask to Blue Panther in 2007. Lizmark will once again don the legendary mask of his father in Lucha Libre USA.
Pequeno Halloween
Height: 5’3″
Weight: 143 lbs.
Tijuana, Baja California
Trainers: Rey Misterio Sr., Psicosis (original), Fobia, Medico Asesino, & Satanico
Pequeno Halloween spent the majority of his career in CMLL where he became one of the best minis in the promotion. In the last two years, however, Pequeno Halloween has competed in Japan as much as he has in Mexico. He was trained in the late 1990’s by Rey Misterio Sr., Nicho el Millionario (then known as the original Psicosis), Nicho’s brother Fobia, Medico Asesino, and Satanico so he has a great pedigree.
Mascara Purpura
Height: 5’5″
Weight: 176 lbs.
Birthplace: Florida, United States
Trainers: Mario Segura & Gran Markus Sr.
Mascara Purpura is an extremely young star and the son of “El Ninja” Mario Segura. Purpura made his debut in 2005 after being trained by his father and the legendary Gran Markus. Purpura fits in well in Lucha Libre USA as he was born in the United States and speaks fluent English. He has spent the majority of his young career in CMLL and is best known for his incredible high flying moves.
Octagoncito
Height: 4’3″
Weight: 101 lbs.
Birthplace: Unknown

Birthplace: Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico
Trainers: Texano Sr., Vaquero, & Satanico
Super Nova is another very young high flying star in LL-USA. Nova made his debut in 2002 in CMLL and has worked the majority of his career there. Super Nova has a very good bloodline to go along with his technical abilities as he is the son of Texano Jr. and the brother of Texano Jr. (as well as the cousin of Mictlan). Super Nova has wrestled in Europe as well as America (where he wrestled a match in ECW in 2009 alongside an unmasked Incognito). He was also shortly signed with the WWE as a developmental talent in FCW before being released.
Charly Malice (aka Charly Manson)
Height: 5’9″
Weight: 181 lbs.
Birthplace: Mexico City, Mexico
Trainers: Hombre Bala
The former Charly Manson (he either changed his name due to the negative image that name has in America or because AAA owns it) comes to LL-USA after his lengthy career in AAA. Malice is one of the more popular stars in Mexico and has been known as one of the better luchadores as well (despite several serious knee injuries). Malice has held several belts (including the Mexican National Heavyweight Title, Mexican National Atomicos Titles, and the UWA Lightweight Title, among others). Malice was one-third of Los Hell Brothers alongside Cibernetico & Chessman at one time. His brother is current AAA star Electroshock.
RelliK
Height: 6’2″
Weight: 250 lbs.
Birthplace: Atlanta, Georgia
Trainers: Paul Orndorff & Dwayne Bruce
RelliK started out his career as part of The Mamalukes in WCW as Johnny Stamboli. He won the WCW Tag Team Championships with partner Big Vito as well as the WCW Hardcore Title. After WWE bought WCW Stamboli eventually joined the company and became part of the F.B.I. faction alongside Chuck Palumbo & Little Guido (aka Nunzio). After his WWE career was over Stamboli revamped his look and gimmick donning a mask and wrestling under a creepy gimmick. He started out as RedruM (Murder spelled backwards) but then had his name changed to RelliK (Killer spelled backwards) when he joined TNA. After leaving TNA he continued to wrestle as RelliK and even competed in AAA last year. RelliK is definitely one of the more unique stars in LL-USA.
