Carlos Dos Santos App

You wanted a rich PitFighter? You got it. Though I suspect he might be very similar to a character of yours. I originally wanted to make him a small guy but thought an athletic big man was more interesting.



His poser is Alberto Del Rio.

Biography: Carlos Dos Santos has lived his entire life in privilege being part of the famous Dos Santos family dynasty. This dynasty started in the late 1800s with the continued technological advancements in agriculture. The company then known as Dos Santos Tools created farming tools and was based out of Northern Mexico close to the US border. Later the company began to manufacture new large scale farming equipment and soon moved its operations north of the border. The Dos Santos family was truly living the American dream, built up their wealth from the ground up. After World War II the baby boom and the Green Revolution came which forced Dos Santos to move into new territory once again, this time making various chemicals for farming purposes (herbicides and fungicides) and genetically modified organisms. Business was booming until Dos Santos made a controversial decision to manufacture products for the US military, specifically defoliants. The company's reputation and stock started to drop
and the old guard just wasn't holding up. The family began focusing on making sure that their kin was well prepared for the potential future challenges. Carlos Dos Santos was named the successor to the Dos Santos company. Carlos' strengths were that he was a highly creative person but with this came some eccentricities. Carlos was more interested in childhood fantasies of being a superhero then operating a multinational corporation. Dos Santos' family had plenty of former wrestlers and Carlos had the goal of becoming a Lucha Libre star. Carlos studied Greco-Roman Wrestling and gymnastics feeling that both disciplines were the logical first step in becoming a Luchador. His mother was Portuguese/Lebanese of Brazilian origin, introducing him to native Brazilian arts like Luta Livre, Capoeira, and Jiu-Jitsu, even staying in Rio De Janeiro for extended periods of time. In his youth Carlos was much smaller and relied on traditional Lucha Libre moves for the most part concealing his legitimate background. Starting out Carlos was saddled with an unmasked bilingual Spanish/Portuguese egotistical Brazilian Punk Rocker heel gimmick complete with pink mohawk (looking like Godofredo Pepey and given the name Açaí Terra, who would "weep" whenever he lost a match) . Carlos was not happy with this at all and began to work extremely stiff on his Luchador opponents and utilized an unheard of Shoot/Strong style never before seen in Mexican wrestling. Carlos got an extreme amount of heat for slowing down matches to a crawl with his grappling prowess. This style unsurprisingly caught the eye of Japanese Puroresu talent scouts. Dos Santos split his time in Puroresu and Shoot style contests in Japan where he learned the art of hooking. Although it took time to pay his dues Carlos became quite successful on this circuit and was even offered a developmental deal for a major North American pro wrestling promotion. Carlos denied this though to take on new commitments within the Dos Santos company and in PitFighting. Carlos was introduced to PitFighting after Stanley Fishman and Aldous Hauser bought a stake in Dos Santos. Carlos came up with the idea of having a "super team" of the best PitFighters around with himself as the figurehead. Carlos now is relishing in his ability to split time training all over. Carlos hired various people to help him prepare for his PitFighting debut such as former Hells Angel Mark Stables (from Carlson Gracie Mexico in Playa Del Carmen), Marco Ruas (for MMA/Luta Livre), and Mestre Hulk (for Capoeira). Carlos has also spent time at Renovação Fight Team in Rio and of course The Agents' Gym. With Carlos' ventures into PitFighting it has been suspected that he isn't serious about being the CEO of a multinational corporation. The board of directors has considered voting him incompetent while also believing his appointment as an example of nepotism.
