Introduction II. Update History III. Wrestler Stats IV. Move List V. Closing VI. Copyright =============== I. Introduction =============== Welcome to my WWF Smackdown! 2 Character Guide for Essa Rios. Essa has been one of my favorite wrestlers ever since he emerged in the WWF back in February. With Lita by his side, he captured the Light Heavyweight Title from Gillberg. He would later go on to lose it to Dean Malenko as problems between Essa and Lita began to surface. Ever since breaking his alliance with Lita, Essa has been sent down to jobber status. It pains me to see him there, as I know he has so much more talent than the people know. Maybe one day he will be back on TV. Or maybe not, I can always hope, can't I? ================== II.
