I'm okay with being the only person who ever says YAY TEXANO JR IS HERE YAY

I like Texano. I was hoping he'd win the series though because Cage doesn't need to be the vessel of an ancient god to have a character and Texano has just sort of been whatever they need. Texas Man From California Who Represents Mexico is a fun hoss and should be given fun hoss things to do.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?

That always annoys me to no end. "From Mexicali, Baja California... TEXANO!" There's nearly a thousand miles from Mexicali to Texas!

Anyways, I was also hoping that he'd become a god's vessel, but then just getting FAME could be an interesting thing.

So, the alliances (from least to most mythical) are now

Worldwide Underground (just normal douches)
423-GET-FAME (Famous B, the actress and probably two legit wrestlers now)
The Rabbit Tribe (Probably magic dudes on drugs)
Jeremiah (has an oujia board and knows Catrina)
Vamp's Sith Camp (Just him and Puma Dark, but Vamp's a vampire immortal and Puma just came back from the dead, so.)
Trios Champs (An alien timetraveler and an immortal in their Retrieve Drago Arc)
The Serpent Tribe (Reptilian Illuminati)
Dario Cueto (2 god vessels, but one's on a revenge path to Rey Mysterio and the other only began the vesseling)
Catrina's Re-dead Alliance

This post inspired me to look up the etymology of "Texas" and apparently it comes from an indigenous Mexican word for "friend" or "ally."

So maybe he's not Texan, he's just a good buddy. Let's go Friendo!

If I remember correctly, Texano is actually Texano Jr. and he took the name from his dad, who used the cowboy gimmick a lot more strongly. His dad also went by El Vaquero and at one point, Johnny Texas, before settling on the Texano name. But I like your interpretation better and now I'm always gonna think of him as Friendo :unsmith:

LAST WEEK Cage won the Infinity Gauntlet. If you got some rest after staying up all night last night watching Wrestle Kingdom, perhaps you might enjoy a little lucha? I hear there will be rabbits and drugs!

When they asked Van Wagenen about the decision to give Mundo a title run, he said something like "Show me anyone on the roster better for it. He's like the ultimate utility worker. He can put on a great match with anyone, big, small, male, female. He's never injured."
