El Matador was Tito Santana, a latino wrestler who spent his career primarily in front of white audiences but almost always as a babyface. This is unusual for any chulo and says a lot about how naturally likeable Santana was. If/when I ever design a Tito Santana dial, it will actually be much stronger than El Matador, as Santana was a successful Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion with Rick Martel (Strike Force) in the 80s. As El Matador though, his vaguely racist bull fighter gimmick of the 90s, Santana was mostly a jobber. I tried to represent his bull fighting ways in his OLE! special power, which is slightly reminiscent of Hulk Hogan's AXE BOMBER. Otherwise he brings his agility to the table in his Leap/Climb, and not a lot else. Oh well Tito, you'll always have the distinguished honor of being the only wrestler other than Hulk Hogan to appear on the first 9 Wrestlemanias... posting a 2-7 record.
