La Sombra (The Shadow)

The Luchador La Sombra (The Shadow) that wrestles for CMLL is not the first to use that name.
The first La Sombra was Tony Lopez who wrestled in the 80s.
The second La Sombra was Hector Navarro who wrestled in the 90s.
And the current La Sombra's real name is unknown, other than his last name is Andrade and he was born on November 3, 1989 in Gómez Palacio, Durango, Mexico.
And we also know that he has one of the coolest masks in Lucha Libre.

The current La Sombra was trained by Moro III, Brillante Sr., Satanico, Stuka and Franco Colombo (the luchador, not the bodybuilder).
He made his wrestling debut on October 18, 2003 in his hometown of Gomez Palacio.
Before adopting the La Sombra idenity, he wrestled as Brillante Jr., Rey Azteca (II) , and Guerrero Azteca.

He has held the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) World Tag Team Championship with Volador, Jr., the Mexican National Trios Championship with El Sagrado and Volador, Jr., the NWA World Welterweight Championship and he won the Torneo Gran Alternativa in 2007 with Místico.

Pegasso

Pegasso (or Pegaso) was born on February 25, 1978 in Puebla, Puebla, Mexico.
He was trained by Gran Apache, Sombra Salvaje and Irasu.
Pegasso started out in the Indy wrestling promotions in Mexico until he caught the interest of Asistencia Asesoría y Administración.
He went to AAA in 2006 and joined a group called Real Fuerza Aerea.
Pegasso left AAA in 2008 and went to IWRG.
When Rey Cometa went to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Pegasso went with him.
By all accounts he is a sound technical wrestler, but really hasnt received a "push".
This may be because of rumored attitude problems backstage.

Here is a video from YouTube of Billy Boy, Pegasso and Super Fly wrestling Gran Apache, Gallego and Cóndor

Molotov

Molotov is a luchador that works for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).
He was born in 1979 in Mexico City.
Molotov is the cousin of luchador Olimpus, and he was trained by Olimpus and Jose Luis Feliciano.
He made his pro wrestling debut on May 11, 2004 at the Arena Coliseo.
Molotov has tag teamed with Sensei, Starman, Leono and Metalico.

Mistico Updates

Since the last entry I did on Mistico, thankfully he didn't go to WWE.
I say thankfully because I think Mistico is a great wrestler, and the WWE doesn't have a great track record with lucha libre stars.

Even though Mistico didn't go to the WWE, he and Hector Garza became CMLL World Tag Team champions by defeating Averno and Mephisto on March 10, 2008.
But they did turn around and lose the titles in December 2008.

In July 2008, Místico had a huge opportunity as he went to China and participated in the Beijing International Martial Arts Training Camp.
The event was covered by Televisa and shown during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Mistico made his debut for New Japan Pro Wrestling at Wrestle Kingdom III on January 4, 2009.

Negro Casas took Mistico's CMLL Welterweight Championship on March 20, 2009.

Dragon Rojo Jr.

Luchador Dragon Rojo Jr. was born on November 3rd, 1982 in Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico.
He is the grandson of Dragón Rojo.
Rojo was trained by Raúl "Loco" Díaz, Dandy Garcia and Satanico and made his lucha libre debut in June of 2001.
He wrestles for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) in Mexico.
Dragón Rojo, Jr. has held the # Mexican National Trios Championship with Sangre Azteca and Black Warrior and won the CMLL Torneo Gran Alternativa with Último Guerrero in 2008.

Luchador: Rocky Romero

Luchador: Rocky Romero

John R. Rivera was born on October 28, 1982 in Havana, Cuba.
He is better known by his wrestling name Rocky Romero and as the fourth Black Tiger.
In 2003, Rocky began working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).
Rocky became the first ever CMLL World Super Lightweight Champion after beating Volador Jr. in a tournament final on September 12, 2003. He has gone on to hold the belt 3 times and is the current champion.
Which is a little awkward because on October 5, 2008, Rocky jumped from CMLL to rival promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) while still holding the CMLL belt and became a member of Sean Waltman's D-Generation MEX stable.
So what happens to the belt?

Nicho el Millonario / Psicosis

What's in a name?
Well when you follow luchador Psicosis, a name can get a little confusing.
Is it Psicosis?
Or Psychosis?
Or Psichosis?
Or is he Nicho el Millonario?
Either way he was born Dionicio Castellanos Torres on May 19, 1971 in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.
Psicosis was trained by Fobia and Rey Misterio, Sr.
He made his pro wrestling debut as El Salvaje on March 10, 1989 in his hometown Tijuana.
Nicho El Millionaro is the name he is wrestling under now in Asistencia Asesoría y Administración.
The name began when he was working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).
He had to take it because when Psicosis left AAA originally and went to the WCW, AAA booker Antonio Peña claimed ownership to the Psicosis name and gimmick, creating Psicosis II.
In Lucha Libre, he has had feuds with El Hijo del Santo, Rey Mysterio, Jr., La Parka, Juventud Guerrera, and Fuerza Guerrera.

Dark Cuervo / El Cuervo

Jaime Ignacio Tirado Correa was born on January 4, 1974 in Toluca, Mexico State, Mexico.
He is a Mexican Luchador better known under his ring name El Cuervo and now Dark Cuervo.
Cuervo was trained by Dos Caras and Impala.
He made his pro wrestling debut on February 28, 1996 at the Arena Naucalpan.
Cuervo wrestles for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) and has been part of The Black Family since Charly Manson formed the stable.
He has been a member of Lucha Libre Latina (LLL),and La Secta Cibernetica (later Secta De Mesias).
Cuervo has held the Mexican National Atomicos Championship (three times with Ozz and Escoria, twice with Chessman and once with Espiritu) and the AAA World Tag Team Wrestling Championship (with Ozz).

Lucha Libre: Anubis

I mentioned Anubis in my last entry, well here is the second Anubis that looks way cooler.
I wonder if they got this idea from "The Mummy".
This Anubis has wrestled under different names, Black Jack and Corsario Negro Jr. besides Anubis.
He was born on February 27, 1988, and his father is Luchadore Black Demon.
Anubis was trained by Indio Chamula,Leopardo Negro, Viento Negro, Shu el Guerrero, El Dandy ("Who are you to doubt El Dandy?") and Negro Navarro.
He made his pro wrestling debut on April 30, 2002.
Anubis wrestles for the International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) in Mexico.

Mexico's El Hijo del Santo fights outside the ring

Mexico's El Hijo del Santo fights outside the ring
By Reed Johnson, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
August 14, 2007

MEXICO CITY -- During his long, sweaty career as a lucha libre wrestler and occasional B movie actor, El Hijo del Santo has grappled with borderland outlaws, green-faced vampire assassins and such fearsome adversaries as Negro Casas and Heavy Metal.

Now he's battling opponents that are as hazardous and hard to pin down as any foe he has faced in the ring, including environmental radiation, child poverty and a system that he believes neglects the needs of many of his fellow stretchy-panted warriors.

Rey Bucanero

Arturo García Ortiz is a Mexican professional wrestler currently working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre under the ring name Rey Bucanero (Spanish for "Buccaneer king").

After being trained by his uncles and spending several years working undercards for independents and undercards for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre, he got his first push in late 1996 after winning the Gran Alternativa tournament with Emilio Charles, Jr. In March 1997, he won the CMLL World Trios Championship with Satánico and Emilio Charles but the group were transitional champions to take the Trios championship off the Héctor Garza, who was preparing to leave the promotion. The push quickly cooled down and Bucanero began work on World Wrestling Federation's short lived Telemundo project, Los Super Astros, without his mask and under the name "Rey 'Pirata' Ortiz."

He returned to CMLL in 1999 and feuded extensively with Olímpico and the build up pointed to a mask vs. mask match between the two. However, Bucanero teamed with Shocker, another up and coming rudo (heel), in a "Ruleta de la Muerte" tournament where the losers advance and the final losing team has to fight amongst themselves in a mask vs. mask match. Shocker and Bucanero lost in the last round and Shocker took Bucanero's mask. At this time he also started teaming with Último Guerrero and the duo were recruited by Satánico for his new stable, Los Nuevos Infernales. The team of Bucanero and Guerrero was pushed in 2000 with a tournament win for the vacant CMLL World Tag Team Championship.

In 2001, Guerrero and Bucanero turned on Satánico by costing him a match with Tarzan Boy and the trio of Guerreo, Bucanero and Tarzan starting calling themselves "Los Infernales." Satánico recruited Averno and Mephisto, two undercarders with new gimmicks, for his own Infernales group and the two groups feuded over who could use the name. Injuries kept Bucanero and Tarzan out at times so Máscara Mágica was brought in as an alternate member of the group. Bucanero's group lost a seven man cage match and they settled on the name Los Guerreros del Infierno. They spent the rest of the year feuding with Negro Casas and El Hijo del Santo over the CMLL World Tag Team Championship. After a match with an inconclusive finish in October, Los Guerreros lost to Santo and Casas on November 2.

In 2002, Guerrero and Bucanero regained their tag team titles from Santo and Casas in May. The team successfully defended their titles against Damián 666 and Halloween of La Familia de Tijuana in July. Los Guerreros spent the rest of the year feuding with Vampiro Canadiense and Shocker. Los Guerreros successfully defended their tag team titles against the duo but Bucanero lost his hair to Vampiro in a singles hair vs. hair match in December to close out the year. In 2003, they defended their titles successfully against Vampiro & Lizmark, Jr. and Negro Casas & Perro Aguayo, Jr. but were defeated in December by the team of Shocker and the newly arrived L.A. Park.

Los Guerreros regained their tag team titles in early 2004 but Bucanero suffered a knee injury and was temporarily replaced by Black Warrior. Los Guerreros lost the tag titles to Atlantis and Blue Panther on June 25. Bucanero and new Guerreros member Olímpico challenged Atlantis and Panther for the tag team titles on the first Arena México show of 2005 but they lost and Olímpico injured his neck while attempting a dive. He teamed with Guerrero in a feud with newcomer Místico and recently turned Dr. Wagner, Jr. early in the year, losing a main event tag match on March 11. In September, Bucanero and Olímpico teamed up again to unsuccessfully challenge the visiting Hiroshi Tanahashi and Shinsuke Nakamura for the IWGP World Tag Team Championship. After Atlantis turned heel and Los Guerreros became known as Los Guerreros del Atlántida, it was teased that Bucanero would break up with Guerrero but Bucanero stayed and Los Guerreros feuded with Perro Aguayo, Jr.'s Los Perros del Mal faction into 2006. At the end of April, he teamed with Tarzan Boy to win a double hair vs. hair match against Mr. Águila and Damián 666 in the main event of an Arena México show.

The following week, he teamed with Atlantis against Último Dragón and Keiji Mutoh but his team lost after Atlantis hit him by accident. For the following weeks, Bucanero kept having trouble with his teammates and magazines hinted at a possible face turn. Later that month, Averno and Mephisto turned on him during an Arena México match. Shortly afterwards, Tarzan Boy and Guerrero turned on him as well, ripping his tights, signifying he was no longer a member of Los Guerreros. On July 14, he defeated Guerrero for his CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship, ending Guerrero's three and a half year title reign. Actually, he is teaming with Dos Caras jr. and Hijo de Lizmark as a tecnico; he has a notorious feud with Kenzo Suzuki and Ultimo Guerrero.

Outside of Lucha Libre, he has also worked in Japan for New Japan Pro Wrestling, Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling, Toryumon and Dragondoor.

Real name Rito Romero Loza
Nicknames Rayo Mexicano
Name history Fideo Romero (debut - ??), Rito Romero (?? - death)
Family Pablo Romero (brother), Kiko Van Dick (father-in-law)
Trained by: Diablo Velazco
Born: March 19, 1927 - Tepatitlán, Jalisco
Died: January 18th 2001
Pro Wrestling Debut 1942 - Arena Nilo - Guadalajara, Jalisco
Signature wrestling moves: Romero Special/La Tapatia
Titles: Pacific Coast Heavyweight Title, NWA Texas Heavyweight Title (3), NWA Texas Junior Heavyweight Title (2), NWA Texas Tag Team Titles (8, with Black Guzmán three times, with Carlos Moreno, with Sugi Sito, with George Drake, with Pepe Mendieta, with Pepper Gomez)

Rito Romero Loza was a successful luchador who wrestled in Mexico and in the NWA territories of Texas and Los Angeles. In common with a number of luchadors, he appeared in several films in his native country. He is perhaps best remembered for his innovation of the Romero Special submission manoeuver, also known as the Surfboard.

Romero was trained as a luchador by Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame member Diablo Velasco, a man also responsible for the training of Mil Máscaras and Gory Guerrero. His early career was spent in Mexico, making his debut in Guadalajara at aged just 15, having been in training for the previous 3 years.

He began finding title success upon becoming a regular in NWA Texas (which would become World Class Championship Wrestling. With tag-team partner Miguel "Black" Guzmán (brother of El Santo) he would win the NWA Texas Tag Team titles 3 times, winning the same belts a further 5 times with different partners. He would also co-hold the NWA World Tag Team Championship (Texas version) twice (the belts being recognised as World Championships by WCCW and Dory Funk's Amarillo territory. As a singles competitor he had the distinction of being the inaugural NWA Pacific Coast Heavyweight Champion of the Los Angeles territory in 1953 as well as being a two-time NWA Texas Jr. Heavyweight Title back in the region in which he remained a perennial star. In between his first title reign in 1949 and his retirement there was only one year (1960) during which Rito Romero did not enjoy at least some time with a championship.

During his career he became friends with the legendary Lou Thesz (against whom he had his biggest match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at a time when he was NWA Texas Heavyweight Champion) and travelled Europe with him. Thesz esteemed Romero so highly as to rate him as a better performer than his contemporaries El Canek and Gory Guerrero.

Romero was married to Yolanda and had 4 children: Diana, Sandy, Yolanda Verónica and Rito Alberto, none of whom became involved in professional wrestling.

Rito Romero suffered a fatal heart attack on January 18th 2001. He had gone into hospital in his hometown of Guadalajara on the 16th with high blood-sugar levels where it was discovered he was suffering from appendicitis. Bored of being in hospital he decided to check himself out on the 18th. While remonstrating with the hospital workers who were trying to make him return to his bed he collapsed.

Manuel Ortiz Partida is a professional wrestler who is currently wrestling the Independent Circuit in Mexico, particularly in the Tijuana area. He is better known by his stage name Halloween.

Manuel Ortiz Partida, debut in the pro's in 1990, spent his time in the Independent Circuit. He wrestled as "Halloween" for most of his career but switched to "Ciclope" in 1996 when he went to World Championship Wrestling. Ciclope was neglected in WCW, even compared to other luchadors. His biggest moment in wrestling was part of the feud between Chris Jericho and Dean Malenko. Malenko, who had been inactive for a few months prior, dressed up as Ciclope to win a Cruiserweight battle royale to determine the number one contendership to Chris Jericho's Cruiserweight Title. Jericho had been refusing to grant Malenko contendership, making the disguise necessary. All Ciclope got out of the deal was a singles match with Jericho on Nitro, which he lost.

After his time there was over, he lost the Ciclope mask to Antifaz del Norte early in 1999. He quickly reverted back to his Halloween character but lost his mask again on December 24, 1999 in a match against Super Parka. He has wrestled in many United States promotions over the years including for USA Pro Wrestling, FCW and Luchamania. In 2002 he along with La Familia de Tijuana (a group consisting of himself, Damián 666, Nicho el Millionario and Rey Misterio, Sr. although Rey did not come for the tour) came to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre in Mexico City. The trio won the National Trios title but Nicho had a falling out with management and La Familia soon left entirely. They continued to work for independent promoters until CMLL called them back in 2005 to wrestle against Negro Casas, Heavy Metal and Felino on a show celebrating Negro's 25 years of wrestling. Perro Aguayo, Jr. recruited him and Damián for his Los Perros del Mal group. However, Halloween suffered a leg injury and his role was minimalized. After Universo 2000 used the illegal martinete on Damián 666, Halloween challenged Universo to a hair vs. hair match on the December 2 show. After losing the match and his hair, Halloween underwent knee surgery that would put him out of action for several months.
