You Are The Monster by Snack
This is the story of El Macho "The Monster" de la Caliente, or rather, Vee Cristina de la Caliente. He was named Cristina, because he was born to poor parents who wanted a beautiful daughter, but instead got an ugly son. He was so ugly, he was already born with a mustache.
Papa Papi: What an ugly son!
Mama Mami: I know. If only we had a beautiful daughter, who could be married off to the impossibly rich and handsome Illustrado!
Rich and Handsome Illustrado: I'm so rich I must regularly check my bank vault for swimming ducks.
El Macho: But Mama! Papa! Don't you love me? I am your son!
But his parents could only dream of a life that existed only in soap operas. To win their love, Cristina had to think big.
El Macho: I know I can win their love! I must simply buy it with a lot of money! But how?!
And that was when Cristina saw on his tv, a commercial for wrestling in the land of Los Baldos de Agila!
El Macho: That's it! With my disproportionate muscles and a mask to hide my face, I will wrestle as a Luchador, and win my parent's love!
And so, Cristina set off to the land of Los Baldos de Agila, to make honest money through dishonest sport!
Can you win every match without boring the audience?

The controls were a bit hard to grasp and I couldn't properly figure out what to do, even though I got through a few of the fights. The graphics were appealing though.

Honestly, the take to using The Monster like you did was rather creative, indeed fits the theme. However I didn't particularly enjoy the way the audience bar was implemented, I feel it gets in the way more than it helps. Which is a shame, the graphics in the game are interesting as heck, luchadores is quite a theme to play with, and if the bar didn't feel like it was randomly shooting from very low to high values and it was more obvious how it works, it would benefit the game immensely.
