The only man in Chicago Xtreme Wrestling that physically dominates the Devil's Advocates' Tony Manzana, King Hippo has made it his ultimate goal to finish Manzana's career once-and-for-all.
Beginning at 2001's "Resurrection", the Manzana-Hippo feud has outlasted them all. Hippo and Manzana have produced the hardest to watch matches in CXW history, not only for their length, but for the fighter's tendency to throw each other's 260+ pounds throughout the streets of Chicago, into dumpsters, against steel fences, through plywood walls into other rooms, into cars, and even onto broken glass.
Though not a wrestler, King Hippo has proven himself over and over again as a genuine streetfighter. His brief stint as an amateur boxer in 2000 has given him the endurance, strength and offensive tactics needed to be on the mats for nearly an hour at a time. King Hippo has even adapted Manzana's trademark move- the Spear into his own repertoire, calling it "my pain" as opposed to Manzana's "my sin."
History, no doubt, will repeat itself one day when Manzana-Hippo III takes place, but until then, Hippo will keep his eye on the Devil's Advocates and their smartest, largest investment. |
