The Mad Monks 1&2 emerged in Arizona from Nogales in 1990. Though their wrestling ability was average at best, they did have the gear. That I have to concede.
The two dressed in hooded robes that came off when they wrestled, only to reveal brown singlets and bizarre masks with hair on the sides and nothing on top, to give them the Friar Tuck look. They entered the ring to Gregorian chants. They taunted their opponents in Spanish with suggestions they should repent rather than submit at difficult times.
Since the two wrestled in the lucha libre style, they were usually matched against fellow Mexican wrestlers, Amadeus and Fly Boy. The crowd hated the Monks with a passion, so their popular opponents usually ended up with a home stadium advantage. More often than not, the Monks went down to defeat.
The Mad Monks versus Fly Boy versus Amadeus feud wasn't exactly on par with The Comancheros versus Pancho Pico & Ben Justice, Ricky Romero versus Moose Morowski or Flair versus Sting, but it did draw well,
The show wrapped up when the Monks returned to Nogales, as they were only in the USA on limited work permits.
