When we cruise around, the Brown side of town
Ey yo, what up eses and esas! I hope this finds you well and in the best spirits, keep pushing pimp juice. We're fresh off WrestleMania weekend and it's back to our scheduled programming of counting down the days to the next WrestleMania. But that's not what you came here for is it? Of course not. Grab a fria or a warm one if that's what you're into and let's get to it.
Welcome to a new series of Storee Time with The Great Brown Hope. We're gonna throw a carne asada and see which of the homeboys and homegirls should get an invite. We're only sending an invite to our homies that are down for La Raza. And we're only inviting the folks that keep their socks up to their knees cause they're down as fack. It's just as they say, the higher the socks, the downer the foo! So that means no phonies allowed and no fake ass bustas. A strictly Invitation Only affair in the heart of the barrio.
Orale pues, first up on our list, it's the big homie Camacho.
Some of you may know him as Tonga Loa, but I will always remember his first run as Camacho. Now, we're gonna get this out of the way right chea and im gonna let y'all know we are here to recognize and appreciate Camacho. So don't get it twisted, ese.
The son of Haku would work the FCW system in his earlier days and spend two years there learning the ropes, working in front of a live crowd, and where the cameras are of course. He would even go on to carry some FCW Tag Team gold as Donny Marlow with CJ Parker (y'all know that foo). They had a vision for this kid. And soon he would be put to the test alongside one of my favorite characters and in-ring workers, Juarez Mexico's finest, Hunico.
Camacho would make his official on-air debut via the pre-taped December 15, 2011 episode of WWE Superstars. And yes, HE HAD A BICYCLE! A lowrider bicycle to be exact, it was a pretty firme ride if you ask me homes. But anyway, Camacho, billed from Juarez, Mexico, would arrive as Hunico's rescued homeboy turned personal muscle. Hunico and Camacho would compete in singles and tag team competition throughout 2012 and 2013. They primarily worked the house show circuit and made appearances on televised episodes of Superstars, NXT, and Smackdown. Mostly brought in to put over other teams, the victories were very limited to this team but still they stuck together like true homies do through the hard times. And on the April 26th, 2012 episode of Superstars, Hunico and Camacho would pick up a notable victory against Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso. Both teams truly showed flashes of greatness in this match and the right team got the win.
What's important to remember is these guys were wrestling in Chuck Taylors and almost skin tight Dickies, and the knee high socks too foo. These guys were ALL IN. They took what was given to them and they ran with it without running it into the ground. Even while being fed to team after team, Hunico and Camacho continued to be entertaining. Camacho, the bigger, stronger cholo with the power moves and hard hitting strikes, and Hunico the gravity defying high flyer that managed to stay two quicker steps ahead of his competitors. They were a perfect pair of vatos that put it down without making La Raza look bad.
Hunico and Camacho would go back to their NXT/FCW roots and headed to NXT to help bolster the roster and bring up the newer teams looking to make a name for themselves. Equipo Pocos Pero Locos would continue to work the house show circuit as well and made their final appearances as a team during the November 21, 2013 episode of NXT against The Ascension. Hunico would return to wrestling as Sin Cara and returned to the RAW roster and Camacho stayed in NXT and threw it down with stars on the rise Sami Zayn, Neville, Adam Rose, Baron Corbin, and Angelo Dawkins. Camacho would appear in his final televised NXT match at the First NXT TakeOver, opening the show and sparring in the First NXT TakeOver match against Adam Rose.
Camacho would be released a couple weeks after, and that's the last time we ever saw him. Perhaps Camacho went back to the barrio in Juarez, who knows. What matters is that throughout his entire tenure, Camacho remained true to the character and the culture that came with it and truly never looked out of place. Camacho represented the Brown community at a time where we needed more stars to root for.
And whether he was at Hunico's side or on his own, Camacho stayed loyal and put it down for La Raza, and I would gladly claim him as one of our own.
