Why he might be annoying:

    Although he was billed as hailing from Tacula, Mexico his whole career and also being of Mexican heritage, he was really born in Texas.
    When his career faded in the early 90's, the WWE gave him the role of a bullfighter and called him 'El Matador.' He dressed as a bullfighter and redecorated his house to make himself look like he comes from a family with a tradition of bullfighting.
    He has the worst WrestleMania record ever, 2-7.
    His Mexican heritage was prime material for Bobby Heenan, who would constantly make jokes about Tito and his background.
    Since he was in ECW when it was known as Eastern Championship Wrestling, most people have no idea he's a former ECW Heavyweight Champion or even in the promotion.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He has the distinction of being in the first ever match at WrestleMania and the even bigger distinction of being the first ever winner of a WrestleMania match.
    He was The Iron Sheik's opponent in The Iron Sheik's only WWE Heavyweight Title defense.
    He was one of the most popular wrestlers of the 80's.
    He was a well-respected wrestler and although Bobby Heenan and Jesse Ventura would constantly bash him, they really loved Tito and would bash him to get the crowd behind him.
    He's one of very few wrestlers who retired when he knew the time was right.
    He owns a hair salon, teaches Spanish and coach's basketball at a junior high school.
    He and Ivan Putski were named Tag Team of the Year in PWI in 1979.
    He's a member of the WWE Hall of Fame.
