Default Who is El Diablo?

Sorry if this is a newbie question but who is he? I know people are probably going to throw some joke answers here but I'd like to know the truth or at least a story or something [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

The story I heard from Clark was that ElD (before he was ElD obviously) was getting some joking nagging from family and friends about not being on "TV poker" yet. So he decided that he might try to make a final table appearance to appease them, but of course realized he needed one of those cool nickname things between his first and last name lest the world not remember him. So he had narrowed it down to either "The Hand of God" or "El Diablo" and was talking about it with Clark one day at the tables or over dinner or something. Clark was all for "El Diablo" and probablly said something like, "That's AWESOME." (If you've met Clark you should be able to hear this in your head.) A few days or weeks or whatever later Clark found the wrestler guy pic on the net and PM'd or emailed it to ElD saying how this would be the perfect avatar for the El Diablo persona. And thus our El Diablo.

Don't ask me how I remember this story, even though I'm not even sure this is even remotely how it goes.

PS. If anybody else wants me to make up a fictional yet plausible story of the origin of their username, let me know. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

yes I do know he is Ulysses. Is El Diablo a recognizable name in person though?

No. El Diablo is none other than The Pasadena Rose. He adopted the new name for its fearsome qualities.
