Nacho Libre Fan Sequel Idea Pitch

My idea for the “Nacho Libre” sequel is based around the idea that star Jack Black and writer Mike White where Nacho goes to Japan to wrestle. Since “Nacho Libre” was loosely inspired by the life of Fray Tormenta, I have an idea for a sequel that will be loosely inspired by the lives of three wrestling legends. These three wrestling legends are big in Japan and they’re names are Antonio Inoki, Rikidozan, and Big Van Vader. My idea is that Nacho and Steven go to Japan to further their careers and Nacho discovers he has a cousin living in Japan who is training to become a wrestler himself. Nacho’s cousin Taco trains under a legendary Japanese wrestler Bulldozan (loosely based on Rikidozan) at his dojo and there’s another student there who is Nacho’s cousin Taco’s friend and tag team partner Yoshi Toastiti (loosely based on Antonio Inoki). Now Nacho and Steven also train under Bulldozan. As Nacho, Steven, Taco, and Yoshi work the tag team scene in Japan. Elsewhere, Bulldozan hides a secret from his students about his true upbringing. Bulldozan is not Japanese but is North Korean. 

When Bulldozan falls behind on rent for his dojo, his landlord sends the yakuza (the Japanese mafia) to rough him up. As for Taco and Yoshi they lose a three-way match for the tag team championship to Nacho and Steven. Nacho and Steven celebrate the tag team championship victory at a bar where Yoshi shares to Taco that Bulldozan is going to shut down the dojo because he’s broke. Yoshi wants to go solo and breaks up the team. Now Taco, feeling rejected by his best friend Yoshi and ignored by his cousin Nacho, decides to turn heel and become a bad guy wrestler. Taco adopts a new gimmick of a big powerhouse masked wrestler named Big Damn Danger (loosely based on Big Van Vader). After Big Damn Danger defeats Nacho and Steven in a two and one match, the audience riots and gets the three wrestlers banned from the arena for four years. Taco reveals to Nacho and Steven that he is Big Damn Danger and apologizes to them for ruining everything. Nacho and Steven apologize to Taco for ignoring him. Luckily, an American wrestler Dashing Lar (loosely based on Ric Flair) saw what their match and offers to contact his promoter to see if they can wrestle for American Championship Wrestling. They three agree and go back to Bulldozan’s dojo to share the big news. 

Only Bulldozan’s dojo is burnt to the ground, and they discover Bulldozan was murdered by the yakuza and that the yakuza burnt down the Bulldozan’s dojo. Taco reunites with Yoshi who mourns his mentor and father figure Bulldozan. Taco shares that he, Nacho, and Steven might go to America to wrestle and that they might not be in Japan anymore. And that Taco got them banned from the local arena due to the riot he caused. Yoshi decides it’s time to continue his wrestling solo and he also decides that he should start his own wrestling promotion to compete with the monopoly wrestling promotion in Japan. With funding from his wealthy parents, Yoshi opens his own wrestling promotion, and it becomes a huge success. Nacho and Steven are off to America to wrestle for the American Championship Wrestling as they officially signed the contracts to become a part of their roster. Taco however decides to stay in Japan and help Yoshi grow his promotion by becoming Yoshi’s in ring rival. But before Nacho and Steven go, Yoshi announces to the group that he reached out to the promoter of American Championship Wrestling and that they decided to sign an agreement to cross promote and share talent with each other. Now Taco can go to America later to wrestle his cousin Nacho. But before Nacho goes, Taco shares a family secret with Nacho that changes everything. So that’s some idea notes I had for a possible “Nacho Libre” sequel. I don’t know if this will ever get made but just thought I pitch it. Thanks for reading!
