Article about a person whose notability as a professional wrestler is already covered off, in significantly more detail than even attempted here, by the existing article The Bravado Brothers — so it's an entirely unnecessary article on athletic notability grounds, because that basis for notability is simply duplicating another article that already exists. Which leaves us with the real reason why somebody though it warranted a spinoff: his as yet non-winning candidacy in a future state legislature election. As always, this is not grounds for a Wikipedia article: a person has to win the election, not just run in it, to be deemed notable as a politician, and the sourcing is depending entirely on primary sources rather than any evidence of a WP:GNG-satisfying volume of reliable source coverage in media. So no prejudice against recreation after election day if he wins the seat, but neither the substance nor the sourcing here offer any reason why he would qualify for a standalone biographical article about him separately from the duo article that already covers him in his correct notability context. Note as well that this is actually the second creation attempt by the very same WP:SPA, after their first attempt was speedied in March — so this isn't respeediable just because it was deleted before, because G4 requires that the previous deletion was via discussion and not speedy, but the creator clearly didn't understand the correct takeaway from the first attempt.
