Hot Stuff Hellraiser

While Mexico had its own wrestling devil in the form of Belcebu , who appeared in red tights, red boots and a devil mask, Arizona had its own version circa 1990.

Hot Stuff Hellraiser was a short, stocky wrestler in a red outfit and with the customary devil mask with cloth horns. He was not particularly talented when in the ring, but his garb was so bizarre, he was over with the public anyway. Though the promotion wanted to pass him off as a luchador, he was obviously an Anglo wrestler under the hood and had no clue when it came to executing lucha moves. Thus, when pairs up to face a real luchador from Mexico, he was pretty well lost in the ring and his actions bungled. The routine, reportedly created for the man by co-booker Bronco Lazar, didn't include much thought as to whether this spawn of Satan was supposed to be good or bad. When matched against the likes of Thrillseeker or Lance Ferraro he was booed, but when facing off with Sergeant Schultz, The Black Mamba or The Mad Monks. he was cheered loudly. In most cases, he did not win. regardless of the opponent.

One of the most memorable moments in his career came in a match where his sewn on devil tail came off his trunks and he ended up being choked with it.

In spite of his frequent botching of moves and the loss of his tail, Hot Stuff stuck around for some three years and then went back to the flames of Hell where he reportedly came from.

Never fear. Arizona would see an influx of bizarre routines even sillier than Hot Stuff's in the years to follow, such as Stinky The Garbage Man, Peter Pan and Chuckie El Munstro, a diminutive wrestler who dressed like Chuckie  from Child's Play.
