Pimpinela Escarlata and Polvo de Estrellas

I was kinda shocked to see that the two most popular luchadors on this blog last month were Pimpinela Escarlata and Polvo de Estrellas.
It seems the Exoticos ruled here last month.
And never let it be said that I don't give the people what they want, so here they are again.

Pimpinela Escarlata - Lucha Libre AAA

Now for a luchador who is a bit different from the others I have profiled here in the past.
Mario González Lozano was born on April 18th, 1969 in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico.
He works as Pimpinela Escarlata, an Exotico for the Mexican Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) wrestling promotion.
Exoticos are ...well...different from the wrestlers we have here in the WWE or TNA, with the possible exception of the old Billy and Chuck tag team.

Exoticos are not new in Lucha Libre.
They have been around since the 1950s, with luchadores like Adorable Rubí, Sergio el Hermoso and Bello Greco, but Pimpinela Escarlata has helped give legitimacy to this style of luchador, having held the Pista Arena Revolucion Welterweight Title, the IWA Light Heavyweight Title, the National Light Heavyweight Title, the National Middleweight Title, and one half of the AAA Mixed Tag Team Titles with Fabi Apache.

He was trained by Halcón Suriano and Héctor López, and made his debut in Lucha Libre on June 15th, 1988 in Matamoros, Coahuila.
