Bandido - Wrestling's newest sensation

Hey everyone, I'm OG and today I'm going to talk about Ring Of Honor's newcomer, and a young wrestler who made his breakthrough on this year, his name is Bandido! 

Who is Bandido?

Bandido is a masked luchador who is known specially for his work on the Lucha Libre, The Crash, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and Dragon Gate. he recently got signed to Ring of Honor, and he's making some big waves on the wrestling scene lately, he's only 23 years old and he's going to have a bright future in the world of pro wrestling. Bandido began training in the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) wrestling school in Mexico City. While at the school he was primarily trained by Franco Columbo, Hijo del Gladiador and Último Guerrero for his in-ring debut. Since he has never been unmasked in the ring Bandido's birth name is not a matter of public knowledge, a tradition in Mexico for masked wrestlers

Bandido wrestling since 2011, when he 1st arrived in the wrestling scene, he wrestled as Magnifico II, forming a tag team with his cousin who worked as Magnifico I, collectively known as Los Magnificos.

In mid-2016, In mid-2016 Los Magnificos split up, when Magnifico I began to work for CMLL under the name Magia Blanca, while Magnifico II began working for Lucha Libre Elite (LLE), adopting a new in ring character, El Bandido. His character, ring gear and mask was inspired by the stereotypical Wild West bandit. His new mask incorporated a bandana covering his nose and mouth and a stylized "Lone Ranger" style markings around the eyes and a horseshoe on his forehead.

about a year later, Bandido began working for independent companies, such as WWA, Dragon Gate and more, and in 2018 Bandido broke out as he started an incredible rise, he wrestled for The CRASH since late 201. in Pro Wrestling Guerilla since early 2018, and also was in the main event for the ALL IN event as he teamed up with Rey Mysterio & Rey Fenix against The Young Bucks and Kota Ibushi. While Bandido wrestled this year on PWG he got a lot more worldwide exposure as he participated in the annual Battle of Los Angeles. He reached the finals of the tournament after besting Joey Janela. In the finals. Bandido faced Shingo Takagi and Jeff Cobb, and Bandido was the runner up for the eventual winner Jeff Cobb, a month later, Bandido got his own event name on PWG, as they named the event after Battle of Los Angeles "Smokey and the Bandido" in that event he beat Rey Fenix in one of my favorite matches of him this year.

as his exposure rising, Bandido got more worldwide exposure and fans connected a lot more to him, his fan base growing up on a daily basis, and companies around the United States area got their sight set on signing the sensational wrestler. Bandido also got interest from World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and on December 16 he signed a deal with Ring of Honor (ROH). He expected to make his 1st arrival in early 2019, Bandido's signing to ROH got a lot of fans around the world buzzing and full of excitement, and I honestly can understand why. Bandido in the last few years caught a lot of people's hearts and he made an amazing rise, the more people will know him the more he will be big, you will hear a lot more from him. He's an outstanding man

Why I Like Bandido?

Well, Bandido's character is very unique, it reminds me a lot of my all-time Favorite wrestler Hayabusa, when I saw Bandido for the 1st time earlier this year, I saw a lot of similarities, and I also got a chance to talk with Bandido about it, Bandido's High Flying skills are very special. he's just getting better and better as time goes by and it's very beautiful to see his progress. Out of the ring, he's one of the friendliest wrestlers I ever spoke with, he always been so friendly and kind to me, he's an amazing person. Another thing I like about Bandido is that he's very humble person. and it's very cool to see. when I asked him for the 1st time about writing about him he was so happy and he immediately said yes and it was very fun for me.

Matches that I suggest you to see 1st when you explore about Bandido and Why

1st of all, I explored Bandido 1st time thanks to The Elite's event ALL IN, he was in the main event as he teamed up with Rey Mysterio and Rey Fenix Vs. Young Bucks and Kota Ibushi

Then I saw him on PWG thanks to my good friend Ophir, and He showed me a great match, his match against T-Hawk which is in my view very good. and about a bit later, I found out more Bandido matches from PWG and I'm really having so much fun of seeing him. Specially on PWG where he's getting a lot exposure. 

Another match I would like to suggest you to see from Bandido is his PWG match against Robbie Eagles from BASK IN HIS GLORY event. that match is my favorite match of PWG from last year. Bandido and Robbie are so great in the ring together. They have a great in ring work. and I enjoy watching them compete.

What I expect to see from Bandido

I expect lot of great things from this young man, I can see him turn out to be from one of the brightest future stars into really more then that, he can easily turn out to be one of the best Lucha wrestlers of this generation, I truly believe he has the tools to get it! now that he's in Ring Of Honor, He'll get more exposure and his name will be known around the world. Also don't forget that he's young. He's still in his early 20's, just imagine what he'll be able to achieve in few years. He can be a legend!
