King II

==Early Life==
Carlos Bautista grew up to parents he never knew. Carlos was raised in the Santa Teresa la Antigua monastery, in Mexico City. When Carlos was 10, he started to become a street urchin and hustler to make money. When monastery priest and Luchador, King found out about this he decided to permanently take Carlos off the streets and put him under his wing. King saw a lot of himself in the young boy and he wanted to make sure Carlos was brought up right. King started taking young Carlos to his Lucha Libre matches and the young boy soon fell in love with pro wrestling.  
== Right Hand Man-(21-23) ==
When Carlos reached the age of 21, he became an administrator of King's orphanage and right hand man to king; taking on King's duties whenever King was fighting in the underground for money or competing in a martial arts tournament. Until the age of 23, Carlos worked hard to manitain the orphanage with King; having a job as a waiter at a restaurant to make ends meet. Carlos, King, and all of the children at the orphanage were living day by day; until one day, news broke of King's death at the hands of the Ancient Being known as only Ogre. 
=== Training From Armor King ===
Carlos sensed that without King the orphanage would crumble into ruin; the money gained from King's Supreme Fighting Circuit championship match and the money Carlos mad off of his minimum wage pay and tips were the only source of income the orphanage had. Carlos then decides to make a life changing decision and enters a local pro wrestling event while donning the mask of King. Carlos imitated Kings style and referred to himself as the Mighty Jaguar; not wanting to tarnish the legacy of his fallen hero. Unfortunately, Carlos had only seen King's wrestling moves and never actually attempted a wrestling maneuver. Subsequently, Carlos became a supreme jobber losing every match he wrestled. One day however, another man with a mask visited Carlos; introducing himself as an old friend. This man revealed himself to be Armor King; who was interested in finding out if the rumors of a new King were true. For four months, the two of them trained and Carlos learned quickly; maturing into a forceful wrestler with extreme power, known as King II. By this time, the 23-year-old wrestler was a worthy heir to the throne.
== Lucha Libre-(23-25) ==
=== Becoming a Star in Mexico-23 ===
King II began a feud, with MS-1 that ended when King II defeated MS-1 in a Luchas de apuestas, mask vs. mask match to unmask the hated villain (called a Rudo in Lucha Libre). King II teamed up with equally popular Cien Caras to form a very successful team, working main events all over Mexico. King II captured his first singles championship as he defeated Pirata Morgan to win the Mexican National Heavyweight Championship. His first championship success also led to his greatest rivalry as Cien Caras turned on King II in his quest to win the Mexican National Heavyweight Title. Cien Caras defeated his former teammate for the title. King II defeated MS-1 to capture the NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship in the main event of an Arena Mexico show. 
=== Champion-24 ===
King II teamed with Ringo Mendoza and the Kiss to win the Mexican National Trios Championship from Los Brazos (El Brazo, Brazo de Oro, and Brazo de Plata). The trio held the title for 275 days before losing it to Pirata Morgan, Jerry Estrada, and Hombre Bala. 
=== Mask vs. Mask-25 ===
King II's 637 day reign as NWA World Light Heavyweight Champion ended as he lost to MS-1. The storyline between King II and Cien Caras became so heated that they were the main event of CMLL's 57th Anniversary show in a Luchas de Apuestas, mask vs. mask match. King II defeated Cien Caras two falls to one and forced Cien Caras to unmask.
==Tekken 3==
After the match, King II overheard a couple of guys in the locker room talking about the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3; stating that the original King’s killer, Ogre would be there. After hearing news of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, the now christened King II was entered into the tournament by his mentor Armor King; to see how well his training would pay off against the toughest of competitors world-wide. King also wanted to seek revenge against the elusive Ogre. In the first round of the tournament, King II face skilled martial artist Sammy Hunter. King defeated Sammy Hunter in their match and advanced to the second round. In the second round, King II faced the genetically engineered raptor Gon. King II had a hard time trying to battle an ancient animal, but eventually showed just how dangerous he is by defeating the dinosaur. In the third round, King was defeated against Ogre's eventual killer Bo Kazama; thus eliminating him from the tournament. Overall, King II performed very well in the tournament coming one match away from finally facing Ogre, before losing that match to a very skilled and determined Bo Kazama. King II was happy however, just to hear the news of Ogre’s death and he went back to Mexico; making Armor King a proud man.
== CMLL-(25-26) ==
=== 25 ===
Over the next year, King II won the Mexican National Heavyweight Title on two occasions, defeating Gran Markus, Jr. and El Egipico to win the title. The former happened in his 1st match back, after the King of Iron Fist Tournament tournament and with his mentor watching. King II finished the match with a win and hoisted his belt. However, Armor King was nowhere to be found. King II dropped the belt and rushed to his locker room. Since he had performed admirably in the match, he found his master; sitting and saddened by the loss of King I (whom King II had imitated almost flawlessly). Not long after this, King II’s mentor Armor King was killed in a bar fight by a man named Craig Marduk. This made King II very depressed, but he continued to wrestle nonetheless in honor of Armor King. His third and final reign ended when he finally lost. King II and Atlantis then won the CMLL World Tag Team Championship from The Headhunters. The duo successfully defended it against Máscara Año 2000 and Universo 2000, and against Apolo Dantés and El Canek. Gran Markus, Jr. and El Hijo del Gladiador soon won the title from King II and Atlantis.
=== 26 ===
King II won the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship from Apolo Dantés, the highest singles championship in the company. He made three successful defenses against the former champion Apolo Dantés, as well as thwarting the challenges of Gran Markus, Jr. and Máscara Año 2000. King II lost the title to Steel after a slow building storyline between the two. Steel left CMLL due to not resigning with the company once his contract expired, ending the storyline with King II without a satisfactory conclusion. The CMLL then convinced Steel return to CMLL for a brief visit, just long enough to lose a Luchas de Apuestas to King II giving King another mask win. A few months after unmasking Steel, King II became a two-time CMLL World Heavyweight Champion when he defeated Universo 2000 for the belt. He successfully defended the championship against Cien Caras and Mascara Año 2000, before losing it back to Universo 2000.King II was injured in the match against Universo 2000, as a mistimed Tombstone piledriver injured his neck; forcing him out of the ring for over six months and almost causing him to retire.
==Tekken 4-27==
After King II recovered, he wanted to test out his neck and wipe off any ring rust in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. Still not over the death of Armor King, King II swore revenge on Craig Marduk and learned that Craig Marduk was serving time in an Arizona State Penitentiary. Upon Marduk's release (thanks to bribes paid by King II himself, from his pro wrestling business), King II sent a plane ticket and article about The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 to him. King II waited for Marduk at the tournament. 
At the tournament not only did King II avenge the death of Armor King by defeating Craig Marduk, he also won the entire Tournament filled with Stiff competition and earned the 25% of the vast fortune of the Mishima Zaibatsu. He donated the vast fortune of the Mishima Zaibatsu to help the impoverished children of the world. Meanwhile, Marduk had been hospitalized after his loss to King. King went to the hospital to seek vengeance. Ready to deliver a final blow after reaching, he stopped after seeing a portrait of Marduk with his elderly parents on a medical tray next to his bed. Thinking about his own pain of loss, King put the photo on Marduk's chest and left, sparing him, realizing that revenge was not the answer.
==Return of the King==
In his first match back, King II won the WWA World Heavyweight Championship, defeating Rey Misterio, Sr. in the finals of a tournament to crown a new champipn. King II made a brief return to CMLL teaming up with Black Warrior and El Canek to win the CMLL World Trios Championship from Dr. Wagner, Jr., Universo 2000, and Black Tiger (III). The team quickly lost the title to Héctor Garza, Tarzan Boy, and El Terrible. King II suffered another serious injury when he injured both his knees in a match against Máscara Año 2000; his legs got caught on the ropes as he jumped out of the ring and he tore ligaments in both knees. The injury kept him out of the ring for almost half a year but he made a full recovery and returned to the ring. King II made his return to CMLL, siding with the CMLL loyalists in their feud with Los Invasores, especially Invasore members Universo 2000 and Máscara Año 2000, reiginting the long running storyline between them. King II only worked a few matches for CMLL but returned to the promotion. He was on hand for a press conference, announcing that CMLL's annual Homenaje a Dos Leyendas show would pay tribute to his Mentor, Armor King. During the press conference he was confronted by long time rival Universo 2000 who challenged him to a match for the Dos Leyendas show. At the show, King II, Shocker, and Rush defeated Universo 2000, Mr. Niebla, and El Terrible by disqualification. Two days later, King II competed in a four-way, steel cage match billed by IWRG as Prison Fatal ("Deadly Prison") against Cien Caras, Jr., Máscara Año 2000, Jr., and Pirata Morgan. During the match Hijo de Máscara Año 2000 interfered, which caused Pirata Morgan, Jr. to enter the match as well to escalate the rivalry between Los Piratas and Los Capos Junior. The match ended with Pirata Morgan being the last man in the cage and thus had his hair shaved off.  
==Tekken 5==
Craig Marduk soon started to appear on NWN and donned a black jaguar mask and challenged King to a rematch via television. Enraged by the assault on his master's honor, King resolved to settle the score in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. In his 1st match in the tournament, he fought Julia Chang. Julia wished for King to stop fighting just because Marduk called him out. King could not allow such disgrace to his master and Julia tried to stop King on her own. However, King was the victor in the match and was given even more fuel to beat Marduk. In his next match, he had the chance to fight Marduk. Marduk adamantly said he would beat King "fair and square". Once again however, King won. Marduk conceded defeat and King offered his hand in friendship, reconciling differences between the two. In Kings next match however, he was defeated by Forrest Masters. After the tournament king went back to wrestling. King was being beaten by the tag team combo of two wrestlers. He retreated to his corner with his arm outstretched, only for Marduk to slap it and tag himself in. Marduk then made quick work of the two, giving enough time for King to recuperate. They then finished the duo with respective aerial finishing moves (King used the Muscle Buster). King and Marduk then hoisted their newly won NWN Championship belts.  
==Tekken 6==
For the next two years King and Marduk dominated the tag team division until King caught wind of an attack upon Marduk. He was furious to learn that the assailant looked exactly like his deceased master, Armor King. King was determined to learn the true identity of Craig's attacker, but was unsuccessful in his attempt. With the world engulfed in war, King all but gave up looking for Marduk's attacker when he received an invitation from Marduk to join him in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6, in the hopes that the culprit would appear again. King accepted, hoping that this would come true. Both King and Marduck did not win the tournament though that didn’t really matter to them. King was in his room looking at a picture of his deceased master. He carefully tried to put the picture back on the shelf but accidentally bumped it against the sill. The frame dropped and broke the glass covering. Looking at the frame, King noticed another photo behind his master's; the hidden photo showed two Armor Kings. King looked on in shock. The assailant was sitting in a room staring at the same picture King found hidden. He then started to walk away. Marduk started digging up Armor King's grave, only to find that he was still dead. Marduk abruptly stood up and quickly asked who the assailant was, who was standing right behind him. King arrived at the graveyard to join the two, asking the assailant who exactly he was. The attacker asserted he was Armor King and no one else. Marduk deemed this stupid, as he had just seen his body; plus, he had killed him with his own hands. The mysterious person then said that he was the brother of Armor King, thus making himself Armor King II. Armor King then said he would not forgive Marduk for dealing the finishing blow to his brother, as Armor King I had a cardiac problem as well.
==Crossing over==
King II then left Mexico and journeyed to continue his wrestling career in Puerto Rico looking for a fresh start. King and Croatian-born wrestler Victor Jovica founded a promotional company, Capitol Sports Promotions, which aired wrestling television shows each Saturday and Sunday on WAPA-TV. He wrestled during a time where local stars such as Barrabas, Black Georgie and Miguel Pérez Sr. shared the spotlight with international wrestlers such as Argentine-born Rocca, Cuban-born Huracán Castillo and others. He set the stage for local stars such as Los Super Médicos, Los Invaders and Chicky Starr to develop. His wrestling company was also responsible for inviting major American wrestling stars such as Randy Savage, Robin Mask, Bruiser Brody, Stan Hansen and others to wrestle in Puerto Rico. The nemesis of King II was Abdullah the Butcher, with whom he staged a long-standing feud which lasted almost two decades. King is quoted as saying: "Eighty percent of the blood I've shed in the ring I've shed because of Abdullah." King II defeated Robin Mask in a match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. However, the outcome of this match was not made official or aired in NWA television. Robin Mask received the belt back in a phantom title change that took place. Later that year, King required hospitalization due to injury following a match against Bruiser Brody. This loss was publicized and made the covers of El Nuevo Día and El Vocero, both of which are mainstream newspapers. Two weeks later, King II defeated Brody in a rematch. Capitol Sports Promotions began a feud between King II and Robin Mask, which included a skit where the NWA champion criticized Capitol's title claiming that he was the only "real world champion", leading to a steel cage match to determine the "undisputed champion of the Universe". The encounter headlined an event held in Bayamón. King II won cleanly, and the WWC World Heavyweight Championship was renamed to Universal Heavyweight Championship as a result. In subsequent interviews, Robin Mask has stated that the NWA title was not on the line for this match because an official unification was proposed, but he vetoed it. King II made a one-night appearance to the WWWF, then known by the abbreviated name World Wrestling Federation, making an appearance in the Royal Rumble.
==Family > Wrestling==
After this, he decided to temporarily retire from professional wrestling. A few months after that King married a Canadian national named Nancy and the two would have four children: Carly, Eddie, Stacy and Melissa. For the next 20-30 years King II trained pro wrestling hopefuls in at his wrestling school in Toronto, Canada, including his sons Carly and Eddie who went on to wrestle in the WWE and his daughter Stacy.
==There's Still Something in the Basement==
King II decides to make a comeback at the age of 62 defeating Félix "Barrabás" López in his return. After Carly King turned on him and gained control of the heel faction, King II joined Gilbert Cruz and Ray González in a 3 on 3 match against his son, López and Germán Figueroa, but his team lost. A year later, he lost to Savio Vega in a match for WWC's ownership. This evolved into a feud with the heel faction, while a secondary storyline involved a legal battle over the promotion. King II defeated José Huertas González to recover ownership of WWC, but lost a rematch the following month. At Aniversario, he teamed with Stacy King and defeated José Huertas González and "La Tigresa" Soldelina Vargas. King II announced another short-lived retirement. He returned at Lockout, resuming this feud by losing to Huertas González in an ambulance match, with both wrestling a no contest at Euphoria at the beginning of the new year. King's name began being rumored as a possible inductee to the WWE Hall of Fame when he was 61 years old. Despite expressing joy at the idea of accompanying Pedro Morales, he dismissed this as a rumor and noted that WWE personnel had not formally contacted him. Ultimately, that years Class did not include him. The following year, Eddie and Orlando King noted that they supported a potential induction.  
==All Hail to the King==
At the age of 64, King II was officially announced as part of that year's class. He considered it the "realization of a dream" and admitted that at one point, he began to doubt that he was ever being inducted. This class was completed by The Ultimate Warrior, Jake Roberts, Lita, Paul Bearer, Mr. T, and former WWC Universal Heavyweight Champion Razor Ramon (Scott Hall). He was inducted by his sons Eddie and Carly, and nephew, Orlando in the official ceremony held at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. WWC held a series of homages, the first of which was held by his immediate family. A more formal ceremony was held and included the participation of long-time rival Chicky Starr, who participated in a skit where he expressed his respect and ended their animosity. The promotion went on to announce a Puerto Rico-wide tour, "La Despedida de King II", which would mark King's final retirement.
