Lucha Underground's 34 Wrestlers - Ranked From Worst To Best

21. Pimpinela Escarlata

Pros: - Really good at armdrags - You might even call him a drag queen - DID YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE Cons: - Seriously, 90% of his offense is armdrags - The other 10% is kissing you and hoping you panic - To recap: his moveset is 90% armdrags and 10% sexual assault Did you know that lucha libre has a character type called the exótico? They dress in women's clothing, especially old-timey showgirly stuff, and flirt with their opponents. There's often discussion about whether their behavior is genuine or psychological warfare, designed to put homophobic opponents off their game. That's right, it's an entire division of Goldusts, and Pimpi is their queen. Though he's one of the more successful exóticos of all time, Pimpinela Escarlata doesn't have a lot to fall back on in terms of in-ring maneuvers. He's got a heck of an armdrag, though, and his apparently uniformly homophobic opponents can be counted on to hurl themselves bodily from the ring to avoid being kissed by him. He even kissed a Disciple of Death, and the guy took a bump like he got shot in the chest by a cannonball. Final Rating: ***1/2
