The artist formerly known as Pentagón Jr. is noted for his unique style. He's far from the type of luchador that normally gets over in the States, generally eschewing flashy, high-flying maneuvers in favor of hard strikes, brutal submissions, and occasional forays into good old-fashioned hardcore ultraviolence. To put it simply, Penta doesn't care how graceful or athletically impressive his violence is, only that he's inflicting it,

That's why it's rather surprising that some of Penta's earliest training happened under the instruction of Teddy Hart, best known for ostentatious showing off at all costs. Penta's no-nonsense style doesn't square with Hart's arsenal of diving corkscrew presses and shooting star leg drops, but both men were able to become some of the hottest heels in Mexico as part of Los Perros del Mal. Can someone check to see how many cats Penta has in his shadowy ninja cave?
