Luchador Wrestler Build

I've been toying with the idea of a Luchador themed hero this week (never seen any heroes running around in that costume set). I've seen a thread about what people would like in a wrestling/grappling power set. Since such a set doesn't exist I thought I'd see what I could put together from existing sets. I'm wondering if this is both a viable build and has the right powers thematically. I know that the Dragon powers in MA are more powerful, but the animations are less appealing for the theme. Suggestions much appreciated.

    Well can always think the knockback powers from Brick powerset as "throws". :tongue:

    I went with FotT instead of Enraged (got another guy who does that), so I didn't want to knock the bad guys out of range. Intensity at least provides a suitable "growl" look. Massacre I'm thinking of as a massive eye gouge. Not sure if I'll go with Back Hand Chop; other possibilities are Rising Knee or Elbow Slam.

    Personally, when I hear Luchador, I think more dextrous, fast, cruiserweight Mexican wrestling as opposed to power-oriented jacked-up freaks VKM would love. As such, I'd be far more inclined to go with DEX primary SS.

    Power-wise, can't imagine a lucha build without a kick or two. Rising Knee isn't perfect animation-wise, but pretty much the only thing I can think of for quick takedowns.

    Already got a few guys who rely on Dex and so wanted to try the Str route (he does have Dex as a SSS, though not a PSS). These lucha guys can also take a beating, so I wanted to use Juggernaut. Agree about the Kick, hence the Inexorable Tides. Really useful for small mobs.
