## Early life

Bruno Natoli was born on April 17, 1997 in The Bronx, New York, the second child of Italian immigrant parents. Growing up, Bruno was always fascinated by the world of professional wrestling, thanks in large part to his grandfather, Santana Natoli.

Santana was a successful Italian professional wrestler in his own right, known for his larger-than-life personality and his impressive in-ring skills. He was a fan favourite, always fighting for justice and doing the right thing in the ring. Bruno was in awe of his grandfather's charisma and talent, and often begged to be allowed to watch him train and perform.

## Ascension to *Magnifico*

As Bruno grew older, he began to take heavy inspiration from his grandfather's style and persona, but with much more resentment in him. Whereas Santana was a classic babyface, Bruno developed a more hateful persona, declaring himself to be *Magnifico,* dehumanizing anyone without Natoli/Italian heritage in them. Disgusted at American crowds for their rejection of his Grandfather’s talent, Bruno would use his cocky attitude and brash behavior to draw the crowd's ire - wanting them to feel the same emotions Bruno experienced growing up and learning more about his Grandfather’s career.

Despite his brashness, Bruno was a skilled wrestler, thanks in large part to the training he received from both his grandfather and another old Russian professional wrestler named Dmitri Vasilev. Bruno had always been fascinated by Dmitri's no-nonsense approach to wrestling, and he spent countless hours training with the older man, learning the finer points of the art.

Santana and Dmitri had first met in 1985, when they faced off in a wrestling match that quickly became the stuff of legend in the European scene at the time. Though they were fierce competitors in the ring, the two men respected each other deeply, and their friendship only grew stronger over the years. Bruno was grateful to have such skilled mentors, and he worked tirelessly to live up to their expectations.

As Bruno made his way through the ranks of the wrestling world, he often found himself at odds with his grandfather's more traditional approach to the sport. Santana believed in the importance of sportsmanship and fair play, while Bruno was more focused on winning at any cost. Despite their differences, however, the two men remained close, and Bruno was always grateful for his grandfather's guidance and support.

Growing up in The Bronx, Bruno was no stranger to the rough-and-tumble nature of the city, and he often found himself getting into scrapes and altercations on the streets. Despite his grandfather's efforts to keep him on the straight and narrow, Bruno was a rebellious teenager, and he was constantly being disciplined for his attitude.

Despite his rebelliousness, Bruno was a skilled and talented wrestler, and he quickly began to make a name for himself in the industry. He was known for his hard-hitting style and his willingness to do whatever it took to win, and he quickly became one of the most popular wrestlers on the circuit.

## CPW

As Bruno enters his mid-20s, he is still wrestling at the top of his game, and he shows no signs of slowing down. Though he may have gotten into trouble in the past, he has learned from his mistakes, and he is determined to make his mark on the wrestling world. Whether he is facing off against his opponents in the ring or simply enjoying life in The Bronx, Bruno Natoli is a force to be reckoned with, and he has no intention of slowing down anytime soon as he prepares to enter the CPW birds nest.
