Owner Bio

Cuervo (or alternatively, "Mr. Cuervo") started his career in business with the help of his Great Uncle Cuervo, who bestowed a generous amount of stock in his tequila factory upon Cuervo on his twenty-first birthday. Not one to sit idly by watching stock quotes (the idle sitting came much later), Cuervo sold the stock and used the profits to acquire the rights to old episodes of the popular show Sábado Gigante. "If Sábado can be gigante" Cuervo reasoned, "every day can be gigante!" Cuervo ran the episodes continuosly on his new cable channel, the All Sábado Station. It was a rousing success.

Now a player in the field of cable programming, Cuervo used what he believed to be the main draw of Sábado - pechos gigante - in establishing other channels. A series of hits from the Emanuelle Network to Naked Classic (featuring "Lost Nude classics" and "Nude Century", montages of selected actresses' nude scenes from throughout their career) further extended his programming empire.

Cuervo became the owner of the Las Vegas Lightning having been hand selected by previous owner NoMyths, who gave up the team - and all the rest of his material belongings - to embark on a spiritual journey in the mountains of Wyoming to "find himself" (not to escape pending illegal prostitution charges). In addition to running the Lightning and overseeing his programming empire, Cuervo contributes to many charities, and has recently established a home for B-movie actresses who are down on their luck and need help in getting back on their feet (and not to have them lay flat on their backs as some have alleged).

Franchise Lineage:
2013 to Present: Las Vegas Lightning -- Owner: George Ciervo (aka "cuervo72")
2001 to 2012: Las Vegas Lightning -- Owner: Bryan Penberthy (aka "NoMyths")
