Hugo

Hugo Andore and several members of his family were prominent members of Mad Gear, although Cody outfought the elder members in a cage match in the West Side and Haggar humiliated him in the original Final Fight, which infuriated the wrestler to no end; it made him so mad that in Final Fight Revenge Andore attempted to give a televised broadcast to Haggar challenging him for the mayorship through a wrestling match, but unfortunately the broadcast was never aired. Andore and his family would continue to join Metro City’s most prominent gangs for years to come, including a revived, worldwide Mad Gear in Final Fight 2 and Mad Gear’s successor the Skull Cross gang in Final Fight 3. Even so, Haggar and his friends crushed each of these syndicates and Andore’s hopes of glory.

Deciding that the criminal lifestyle was not for him, Hugo entered the third World Warrior tournament in Street Fighter III: Second Impact, accompanied by his friend Poison. His goal through this action was to find a suitable tag team partner, due to his former one being mysteriously killed off by a rival. During the tournament, Hugo battled with Ryu, a traveler who is constantly perfecting his fighting skills. In that battle Hugo was hit by the Shin Shoryuken, Ryu’s most powerful move, but he was not knocked out by it and continued to put on an amazing performance. Ryu may have temporarily been his tag team partner anyway, but a permanent solution was not given and again Hugo needed a partner.

Eventually, Hugo and Poison decided to start their own wrestling promotion in Street Fighter III: Third Strike, the Huge/Hyu Wrestling Army (HWA). Their main objective is to take over all of pro wrestling.
