Doscara (RLS CAS)

Doscara (born c.1993) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado currently signed to UNION Wrestling on a part-time basis, having semi-retired to become a trainer in 2019.
His name, as is often customary for Mexican masked wrestlers, is not a matter of public record. His gimmick is that of an unpredictable chameleon, able to switch demeanour and alignment instantly, hence the Doscara, spanish for "two sided", name.
== Career ==
=== Exhibition Wrestling: Mexico (2012-2020) ===
Doscara was trained in EW: Mexico by father and son duo Hugo and Nuno Galindo, having idolised luchadores since childhood. An unassuming, studious figure, Doscara became popular with management as the go-to for someone to put established stars over, or help add bodies to an on-going feud. His matches with Almavacia, who he'd go on to tag with in UNION Wrestling, around this time also won several accolades.
After eight years with the promotion, Doscara admitted during the lockdown in the UK around COVID that he didn't believe he'd make it back before his contract ended, and, indeed, he wasn't seen again before EW announced his release. He'd semi-retire shortly after this, in early 2021.
=== PWU/UNION Wrestling first spell (2014-2018) ===
Doscara would join up with PWU (later UNION Wrestling), alongside Almavacia, at Nuno Galindo's recommendation. The promotion had been looking for two such superstars to form the Los Luchadores trio, and after former BWF star Azteka had declined1, this was revised to a tag team.
Los Luchadores would, for most of the touring months in 2014 and 2015, feud with the likes of Team Bring It and The United Kingdom, in and around the UNION Tag Team Championship picture. They'd have similar feuds with HDMC and The Coalition once the touring days ended and UNION found a home in Newcastle.
Both members of Los Luchadores were released in 2018, with Almavacia returning to Mexico and Doscara staying in Europe.
=== Wrestling upLOUD! (2018-2020) ===
Doscara would make sporadic appearances for Dutch-based promotion Wrestling upLOUD! between 2018 and 2020, mostly when touring in the UK, usually to make up bodies in multi-person matches. He'd most notably take part in the 2019 Bloody Warfare Battle Royal, getting eliminated at #15 by Sidewinder.
It would be for upLOUD! that he'd make his last appearance as a full-time wrestler for, defeating Sergi Romero in a short contest in 2020.
=== UNION Wrestling (2022-present) ===
Doscara would return to UNION Wrestling in 2022, announced as a signing as part of their "Mask Monday" event, along with Hubris, Carita, El Jefe and Brody Shires. It was clarified shortly after that his deal, unlike those of the others, was on a part-time basis due to his semi-retirement2 in 2021, and his desire to become a wrestling coach.
He'd appear sporadically between this time and the end of 2023, including taking part in the "Lucha Celebration Triple Threat" on UNION Charged, where he competed against Piranha and El Jefe, being pinned by the latter.

== Trivia ==
* UNION founder and later Director of Wrestling Eddie Hamer pitched an unmasking storyline to Doscara, during his original run with the promotion. He'd decline, however, citing his personal sadness at seeing idols like Rey Mysterio, Jr. unmask when he was young.3
* Doscara began wearing face paint under the mask after an online attempt by a fan to determine his identity.4
== Behind-the-Scenes/Notes ==
# In truth, I just had trouble creating Azteka on the WWE series after using him elsewhere.
# His "retirement" was me deciding to stop using him... it being retconned to a "semi-retirement" was me getting cold feet and wanting to use him sometimes.
# This is actually an idea I had for a "mask vs. mask" angle, which I scrapped when I realised how integral to the character the mask was.
# There is a kernel of truth to this; while it was mostly because it looked cool, I did also need to do something to hide how generic his face was (as I didn't edit it due to him having no real identity), the other option being a different style of mask.
