Giant Gonzalez

**Giant Gonzalez** (born July 22, 1792) is a Columbian professional wrestler.

## A.W.A.C. Career (2016 - 2021)

Gonzalez made his official A.W.A.C. debut on July 16, 2016 on Anarchy #25 where he defeated Suicido and Vin Taylor in a Triple Threat Match. On July 28, on Anarchy #26, Gonzalez teamed with Brandon Wolfe and King to defeat Dolph Ziggler, Black Panther and Chiro. On August 13, on Fury #9, Vin Taylor defeated Gonzalez, handing him his first official loss in A.W.A.C.. On September 9, on Anarchy 29, Gonzalez competed in an Elimination Chamber Match but did not win; the match was eventually won by Luigi Largo.

For the rest of 2016, Gonzalez would split his time working dark matches for A.W.A.C.. On April 14, 2017, Gonzalez would bring his partner Bane to A.W.A.C. to form the Ministry Of Destruction. The team would already be paired up with each other in EWWE so the decision to bring Bane in was a no-brainer. It was on this same date on Anarchy #31 where the two defeated the Guardians Of The Galaxy (Star Lord & Groot). On April 29, on Anarchy #32, Gonzalez defeated Groot one-on-one. On May #26, on Fury #14, Bane and Gonzalez would defeat Largo (Luigi Largo & Pavi Largo). On July 29, on Anarchy #34, Giant Gonzalez fought Anakin to a double count-out. On August 15, at Summer Slamboree 2017, the two defeated the Deadly Saints (Firestar Hart & Johnny Gat) to become #1 contenders for the A.W.A.C. World Tag Team Titles. Sometime after this match, they gained Hugo Strange as their manager. On November 25, at Anarchy Rulz 2, the Ministry Of Destruction defeated The Force (Anakin/Luke Skywalker) to win the titles.

Bane and Gonzalez started 2018 as champions. On February 2, on Anarchy #36, the Ministry Of Destruction defeated The Force 2-0 in a NoDQ 2/3 Falls Match to retain the A.W.A.C. World Tag Team Titles. On March 27, at Smashlash, the lost the belts to The Movement (Chris Danger/James Falcon). On May 8, on Anarchy #40, Gonzalez defeated his partner Bane and Metallo in a Triple Threat Hardcore Match to win the A.W.A.C. Hardcore Championship. Afterwards, Gonzalez entered the Battle City Tournament where the winner would receive an A.W.A.C. World Title shot. On June 3, Gonzalez defeated the debuting Spot Monkey. On July 5, on Anarchy #42, Metallo defeated Gonzalez to advance to the quarter-finals of the tournament and also win back the Hardcore Title. On July 10, after Anarchy #44 went off the air, Gonzalez attacked Metallo backstage and pinned him to become a 2-time Hardcore Champion due to the 24/7 Rule. The same day, at Summer Slamboree, he would go on to drop the belt to King due to the 24/7 Rule. It was after this that Hugo Strange stopped managing Bane and Gonzalez as he accepted the role of general manager for the new Liberty brand that was set to debut. On August 15, Hugo Strange announced that his third draft pick was the Ministry Of Destruction. As a result, Bane and Gonzalez became part of Liberty.

On May 3, 2019, on Liberty #3, James Fatal defeated Giant Gonzalez, John Robertson and Nethaniel King in a Fatal-4-Way Match. On June 1, at Liberty's inaugural exclusive CPV, Proceed With Caution, Bane and Gonzalez entered the Monarch's Warfare Match alongside five other teams to crown the first-ever A.W.A.C. United States Tag Team Champions. Gonzalez entered first and eliminated more than half the field until he was eliminated by "Bastard" Matt Denton; the match was eventually won by The Age Of Gold (Nethaniel King & Stephan Zynda) who became the first-ever US Tag Team Champions. On August 11, on Liberty #4, Wrigley Dodger defeated Gonzalez and Jason Voorhees in a Triple Threat Match where the winner would receive a US Tag Team Title shot for their team. On December 21, 2019, AOD #4, A,W,A,C,'s Christmas Special, the Guardians Of The Galaxy (Groot & Rocket Raccoon) defeated the Ministry Of Destruction in a Miracle On 34th Street Fight.

Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic that dominated 2020, Giant Gonzalez stayed away from in-ring competition for the most part. On May 23, 2020, Gonzalez wrestled his one-and-only match in 2020 where he lost a 4-Man Over-The-Top-Rope Battle Royal where the winner would qualify for the Men's Match Beyond at Above And Beyond. Gonzalez started his 2021 on January 23, on Liberty #18, winning via disqualification against Metallo. On February 2, on Liberty #20 (the final Liberty episode produced by A.W.A.C.), Gonzalez laid out War Bacon backstage. As a result, War Bacon was taken out of his scheduled match. This would set up their match on Fury #42, night 1 of Anarchy Rulz 3 where War Bacon got his revenge and pinned Gonzalez. This turned out to be Gonzalez's last match in A.W.A.C. as he would be released following the event.

## Personal Life, Trivia

* Giant Gonzalez's name is lifted directly (and/or partially inspired from) the real-life wrestler Giant Gonzalez. The two are not meant to be confused with each other.
* Giant Gonzalez has only been pinned by a handful of people in his entire CAW career. The true amount is currently unknown but results confirm his losses by Dr. Doom in RCWE and both Metallo and War Bacon respectively in A.W.A.C. among a few others.
* Giant Gonzalez's origin is that of a Columbian half-giant from the "CAW Dimension" where original CAWs from multiple "universes" fight each other. While this explains his massive height, weight and age, this was omitted from A.W.A.C. broadcasts as A.W.A.C. is more reality-based (though A.W.A.C. accepts any superpower or enhancement to any character as long as it can be rationally explained in-universe and in-canon.)
* Giant Gonzalez was made by Alistor Morgan.
