The Cuban Assassin

   One of my personal favourites from Stampede Wrestling, The Cuban Assassin has competed all over the world. Also known as the Top Gun Assassin, his time in Stampede was spent as a thug for the infamous Karachi Vice. He and Jerry Morrow formed the most successful tag team in  Stampede, The Cuban Commandos, and were always vying for the titles.
   The Assassin has never been a big name in the sport, but has competed as a preliminary wrester for both the WWF and WCW, plus competed extensively in Japan and Florida.
   He is currently wrestling for Stampede Wrestling.
