Nelson Rodriguez Erazo

Homicide, real name Nelson Erazo, is exactly the kind of wrestler I find compelling: a Brooklyn-bred grinder who built his name on the independent circuit rather than being handed a spotlight. His brawling, street-fight style matched a ring name that pulled no punches, and his runs in ROH and TNA in the 2000s made him a cult favorite for good reason. At 178 cm he was never the biggest man in the building, yet he projected a menace that bigger men couldn't fake. I have a soft spot for performers who earn every inch the hard way, and Homicide clearly did.
