Rafael Sanchez, better known as Jack Veneno, is one of the most famous figures in the Dominican Republic through his show International Professional Wrestling. His arch-rival Relampago Hernandez (The Chicken) added spice to the matches by using dirty tactics to cheat Jack Veneno or humiliate him in front of the fans. His long history of battles against the rudo (villain) stable included matches with international stars like Ric Flair, whom he defeated in Santo Domingo. Also known as the champion of the world (Dominican slang: el campeon de la bolita), he is a legendary cultural icon.

Rafael Antonio Sanchez, better known as Jack Veneno, is a legendary Dominican pro wrestler famously called the World Champion of the Whole Wide World (a Dominican idiom for the entire planet). He gained fame through his TV show on Color Vision, defined by his never-ending feud with the villains Los Broncos and his constant promotion of iconic sponsors like mesh-bagged salamis, Fortimalt, La Fuerza wine, and Bufalo shoe dye. (He is the ultimate Dominican folk hero, often compared to the status of Hulk Hogan in the U.S.).
Death-defying flips, men flying through the air, you only see this in international pro wrestling: Jack Veneno, the son of Dona Tatica.
A fraud or a charlatan who is bad at staging their deceptions or spectacles. (Jack Veneno was the iconic Champion of the World in Dominican professional wrestling, whose highly theatrical matches were sometimes mocked by skeptics for being poorly acted).
One time Relampago brought two Americans from abroad who supposedly did not speak a word of Spanish, even though in reality they were just two light-skinned guys from Constanza who agreed to that nonsense for a bottle of cheap wine and some salami. I will write the only thing one of the gringos said: a wor weslin Jack Veneno. Relampago would translate: oh you old bag of bones, Jack Veneno is going to kill you, he is going to destroy you. The blonde guy said it again: a wor weslin Jack Veneno, and Relampago translates again: oh Jack, they will not have mercy on you, you know English and you heard him say they will leave you as a nobody and you will not be the champion anymore. Then the other light-skinned guy who had not spoken forgot himself and let it slip in a high-pitched voice: I am going to kill you Jack Veneno. Wait, weren't they supposed to be gringos who did not speak Spanish? Haha.
Rafael Sanchez, known as Jack Veneno, is a legendary professional wrestler and a major Dominican icon from his show Lucha Libre Internacional. Much of the excitement of the show came from his rivalry with Relampago Hernandez (nicknamed The Chicken), a villain who used dirty tactics to cheat or humiliate him in public. His battles against the stable of heels often featured international stars like Ric Flair, whom he famously defeated in front of 15,000 fans. Also known as the Champion of the World (Campeon de la bolita del mundo), he is a national hero.
He was a real jerk who tricked a lot of people with his so-called wrestling show, which he used to make a ton of money, but now he is falling to pieces because someone else brought in foreign wrestling and put him in a deep hole. (Jack Veneno was a legendary Dominican professional wrestler and national icon whose local circuit collapsed when US wrestling broadcasts became popular in the country).
A comedy wrestler, a pot-bellied clown who is in terrible shape.
