Lucha Underground’s Weirdest Storylines

Famous B was a name many who followed the independent circuit in California might be familiar with. He popped up in companies like XPW, PWG, and Dragon Gate USA, just to name a few, but when he got to The Temple in Boyle Heights, he wanted you to do one thing and one thing only: call 423-GET-FAME. With a name like Famous B, he promised fame and fortune to anyone smart enough to call his number, which fans of the show at the time will remember, as 423-GET-FAME was a real number that anyone could call.

Over time, it became clear that Famous B was not the man he said he was. He oozed an energy that would make a used car salesman cringe, and an enthusiasm that would put someone like Jimmy Hart to shame, but he could never make anyone famous. The likes of Mascarita Sagrada and Son of Havoc were some of his original clients, but after Mexican icon Dr. Wagner Jr. debuted, Famous B did everything he could to make sure he was as close to Wagner as possible, especially after Wagner won $250,000 at the end of season two in a match against Son of Havoc. 

In the end, Famous B would just try and cosy up to whoever had the most going for them at any given time, and the promise of fame he made to everyone was a prime example of why you should never fully trust anyone who can make their own infomercial despite being broke. With that said, at least the fans chanted his own phone number at him.
