The Monster Matanza Cueto

Fans of Lucha Underground would be familiar with ‘The Monster’ Matanza Cueto. Matanza made a massive impact on his debut, winning the Lucha Underground Championship in his very first match for the promotion. He has since competed in other promotions, including Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, where he teams up with Matthew Riddle - the duo known as ‘The Chosen Bros’, who are the current PWG Tag Team Champions. Matanza has also competed in New Japan Pro Wrestling, during the World Tag League last year.

Matanza, whose real name is Cobb, is also an accomplished amateur wrestler, and represented Guam in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He received two straight losses at the Olympics, losing his first match to the current UFC middleweight contender, Yoel Romero! Cobb finished 21st overall out of 22 athletes at the Games, and began his professional wrestling journey in 2009.
