2006 - At the Wrestling Society X taping in Los Angeles, California, an angle was shot where Vampiro was attacked by a mysterious wrestler (Ricky Banderas) and had a fireball thrown in his face. The angle would end up causing problems with MTV, who felt the fireball shot was too graphic to show on television.
