<br />
== Lucha Television Info ==<br />
<br />
I don't know if it really qualifies as lucha libre, but there is now a show called "100% Lucha" on Teléfe Internacional from Argentina. It features absurd GLOW-like gimmicks (surfer, delivery boy, pharaoh, ninja, Scottish Highlander, snake, chiropractor) on luchadores that are supposed to be from different parts of the world (Cairo, Milan, Chicago, Istanbul, etc.). The wrestling is vaguely lucha libre-style when it has any style at all. --[[User:DaClyde|DaClyde]] 19:54, 26 Mar 2006 (CST)<br />
<br />
It would appear that "100% Lucha" is the successor to previous Argentine lucha libre shows "Titanes en el Ring" and "Lucha Fuerte" from the 1980s. Twenty years later, it even features some of the same talent.--[[User:DaClyde|DaClyde]] 09:24, 29 March 2006 (CST)<br />
<br />
Added to the list. Thanks! --[[User:Nkhan|thecubsfan]] 15:07, 31 March 2006 (CST)<br />
<br />
::Greetings, I just wanted to say this is a great site! I've been working on a similar project for proffessional wrestling in general. You can find my webpage at [http://www.smashmania.com www.smashmania.com]. Good luck with everything! --[[User:Smashmania| Smashmania]] 10:20 20 April 2006 (EST)<br />
<br />
== CHIKARA? ==<br />
<br />
I'm not totally sure if this really IS lucha libre, but there's this small indy in Pennsylvania that's lucha libre-influenced called CHIKARA. Would this count, and if so, would I be allowed to write an article on it? [[User:Pyroflame|Pyroflame]] 16:34, 18 April 2007 (EDT)<br />
<br />
We've discussed this sort of thing internally back when we were setting up the site (and I wish I had those e-mails in front of me at the moment.) I can see the value of adding of CHIKARA as a promotion page, because we've got enough eligible bios of guys who've worked in Mexico and for that group ([[Mike Quackenbush]], [[Skayde]], [[Chris Hero]]) that you could make a case for a category of people who have worked there.<br />
<br />
The problem is doing a CHIKARA page would seem to open the door for people to post bios of everyone's who ever worked for that promotion once and, by extension, eventually every US indy wrestler ever. It wouldn't actually open that door, because I'd be removing those pages as soon as I see 'em, but then we'd have other people wasting time making pages (new people to ignore the rules) and me wasting time deleting them, all for one promotion's page.<br />
<br />
It'd be nice if there was a way to add CHIKARA without causing issues, but I don't see one right now. --[[User:Nkhan|thecubsfan]] 11:03, 19 April 2007 (EDT)<br />

not related to Blue Demon and he wasnt adopted by Blue Demon. Was what Blue Demon only real son said in and interview with a lucha libre magazine.<br />

<br />
Updating the Main Page is high on the priority list.<br />
<br />
== More Lucha Television Info ==<br />
<br />
While viewing wrestling on justin.tv, I came across a channel for XEJTV Canal 5--Cuidad Juarez. Turns out it's official since the official site-- http://www.xejtv.com --also has a link to the justin.tv site under "en vivo". Anyway, both CMLL and AAA are shown on Saturday (CMLL) and Sunday (AAA). The time tends to vary depending on if it's preempted by NFL or something. However, it is viewable online. Preemption of shows were usually by an hour to an hour and a half. [[User:SWIFT|SWIFT]] 21:52, 30 October 2010 (UTC)<br />

== Featured profile ==<br />
<br />
I edited in content for the current featured profile template (Template:MainProfile43) but it is not showing up for me on the page - am I the only one that cannot see it? Cache issue?[[User:MPJ-DK|MPJ-DK]] ([[User talk:MPJ-DK|talk]]) 22:17, 22 October 2012 (UTC)<br />
:Nevermind it was apparently a caching issue, I see it now [[User:MPJ-DK|MPJ-DK]] ([[User talk:MPJ-DK|talk]]) 23:12, 22 October 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Date format ==<br />
<br />
I was just wondering if there is some code or something that would automatically change all dates into a single consistent date format (like autocorrect). So that when someone writes 01/05/27 it automatically turns into 2001.05.27. Is this even possible? --[[User:LuchaBoy619|LuchaBoy619]] ([[User talk:LuchaBoy619|talk]]) 01:30, 18 March 2015 (CDT)<br />
<br />
First, thanks for all the date fixes you've done of late. It's appreciated.<br />
<br />
There is this add in code - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Date_Formatter - where if you put the date in a series of tags<br />
<br />
On <date>January 1, 2007</date>, which is the same day of the<br />
year as <date>1 January 2006</date> was, at least, in respect of<br />
being <date>January 1</date>..<br />
<br />
It doesn't quite do what you're looking for though - it turns words into numbers, but doesn't seem like it'll work if we already have it numbers.<br />
<br />
What I think we need to do is have someone make a script that just looks thru all the profile pages, checks for those dates, and converts them. That person is usually me, but I haven't ever figured out how to make a bot that'll consistently work here. Not sure who else to get it. I will give it another try when I get a chance. --[[User:Thecubsfan|Thecubsfan]] ([[User talk:Thecubsfan|talk]]) 14:05, 26 March 2015 (CDT)<br />

== Overview of Candidacy For The Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame ==<br />
<br />
<font face="Verdana">1. Was he ever regarded as the best draw in the<br />
world? Was he ever regarded as the best draw in his<br />
country or his promotion?<br />
<br />
No and no. He had periods where he was considered one of the top draws in<br />
his promotion (more to this later), but in that period there was people like<br />
[[Canek]], [[Konnan]], [[Perro Aguayo|Aguayo]], [[Cien Caras]], who were clearly ahead of him in terms of drawing.<br />
<br />
2. Was he an international draw, national draw<br />
and/or regional draw?<br />
<br />
He is a national draw, and a regional draw. In fact, perhaps one of his<br />
biggest strengths was his ability to draw in the most remote of places.<br />
During years, his gimmick and nickname was that he was "the idol of the<br />
kids", and this was actually true as his popularity was amazing. As I said,<br />
he had an ability to easily fill out small to medium sized arenas (2,000 to<br />
5,000, more or less) that could not afford bringing the top tier guys that<br />
would rather work somewhere else where there was more money.<br />
<br />
3. How many years did he have as a top draw?<br />
<br />
I'd say he was a top draw from [[1988]] to [[1991]]. In [[1992]] [[AAA]] entered the game,<br />
and he didn't jump ship. Other than that, he did have good drawing periods<br />
building up to his mask vs. mask matches with [[Mano Negra]] (Oct 93) and<br />
[[Villano III]] (selling out [[Arena Mexico]] - in the last five years the only<br />
other times it has been sold out have been for [[Cien Caras]] vs. [[Perro Aguayo|Aguayo]], [[Perro Aguayo|Aguayo]] retirement vs. [[Universo 2000|Universo]], [[El Hijo del Santo|Santo]]/[[Negro Casas|Casas]] vs. [[Scorpio Jr.|Scorpio]]/[[Bestia Salvaje]], [[Rayo de Jalisco Jr.|Rayo de Jalisco]] vs. [[Steel]], all of them hair or mask matches). After AAA, and not<br />
counting those times, he has not really been a draw, but there is periods<br />
where nobody in the promotion really has been.<br />
<br />
Before that "drawing prime", he was many times on top of the cards and<br />
headlined some of them which were sellouts. He is a guy that during<br />
virtually all of his career, first based on work and charisma, and now on<br />
reputation, has been on top of the cards and he's always been counted on to<br />
headline "anniversary cards". His anniversary card record has all of the<br />
following cards selling out except for [[1992]] (11,500, weak card w/ a poor,<br />
thrown out, [[Dandy]] vs. [[Satanico]] hair vs. hair match in the semi that nobody<br />
wanted to see - this match is not to be confused with their previous classic<br />
bouts) and [[1999]] (15,000) but everybody knew neither Villano or Atlantis was<br />
going to lose.<br />

<br />
When he was not headlining, he could be found several times in the semi-main<br />
event of those cards (90, 97, 99). Other sellout drawing matches were his<br />
mask winning matches vs. [[Kung Fu]], and [[Hombre Bala]].<br />
<br />
One good conclusion would be saying that when put on big matches expected to<br />
draw, he delivered, but in the Mexico City arenas, except for a relative<br />
short period, he was not a week-in-week-out huge draw like [[Perro Aguayo|Aguayo]], [[Konnan]],<br />
[[Vampiro]], [[El Hijo del Santo|Santo Jr.]], Misioneros, etc. who people paid to see no matter who<br />
they faced. But to make up for it, he had the regional arena draw level.<br />
<br />
4. Was he ever regarded as the best worker in the<br />
world? Was he ever regarded as the best worker in<br />
his country or in his promotion?<br />
<br />
No to both. The first one is out of the question. Atlantis' best year<br />
work wise was [[1989]], and even then there was several guys ahead of him: [[El Dandy]], [[Pirata Morgan]], [[Emilio Charles Jr.]], [[Javier Cruz]], [[Fuerza Guerrera]],<br />
Satanico and that's only counting [[EMLL]] natives. If we add [[UWA]] and the indy<br />
guys, we could come up with a few extra names.<br />
<br />
The only period where I can really imagine a very strong argument for<br />
Atlantis being the best worker in his promotion is 84 to 86. [[Emilio Charles Jr.|Charles]] was not<br />
as good and [[Dandy]] had not grown as much (by 87 I'd put both over Atlantis).<br />
I'd put [[Satanico]] above him and maybe [[Lizmark]], though during those years<br />
Atlantis was more inspired than [[Lizmark]] and I know some would put Atlantis<br />
over [[Satanico]] as well. [[Fuerza Guerrera|Fuerza]] was not EMLL, but indy who worked for both [[UWA]]<br />
and EMLL, so I am not counting him, or I'd put him above Atlantis too. Ditto<br />
[[Negro Casas|Casas]] and [[El Hijo del Santo|Santo]] who also worked some [[Arena Mexico]] cards.<br />
<br />
5. Was he ever the best worker in his class (sex or<br />
weight)? Was he ever one of the top workers in his<br />
class?<br />
<br />
He's been a middleweight during the first half of his career and and a<br />
borderline Light Heavyweight during the latter half. When he was very young,<br />
he was a welterweight, but soon became a middleweight.<br />
<br />
That being said, except for perhaps the period mentioned above, there's<br />
always been better workers in his class like [[Emilio Charles Jr.]], [[El Dandy]]<br />
when he became a middleweight (late 86/early 87), [[Negro Casas]] (in reality he<br />
was a welterweight who also held several welterweight titles, but he<br />
regularly faced the middleweight guys). That is only counting Mexico.<br />
<br />
By 1991, while he was still very good, his work was already passed by<br />
several other guys in the Middleweight ranks. When he was "officially" a<br />
Light Heavyweight (early 93), there also was several better guys such as<br />
[[L.A. Park|Parka]], [[Jerry Estrada]] or [[Lizmark]] who were having great matches in AAA.<br />
<br />
6. How many years did he have as a top worker?<br />
<br />
His debut date is universally listed as 1983 (though I heard once, but never<br />
confirmed, that he had been under other name and mask at least two years<br />
earlier, [[1981]]). In [[1983]], he already was very good. His work was clearly down<br />
by [[1996]], though he had that last hurrah vs. [[Villano III]]. Nowadays he can<br />
still have good matches, but only with top opposition.<br />
<br />
7. Was he a good worker before his prime? Was he a<br />
good worker after his prime?<br />
<br />
As said before, his prime being [[1989]] would tell us the answer to both<br />
questions is yes. Nowadays he is not bad by any means, but he is really<br />
predictable and his matches are bland and by-the-numbers unless motivated by<br />
his opponent or by the situation (i.e. title match or a big tournament). A<br />
huge feud would do wonders for him. But reputation takes you a long way and<br />
he still has got the rep, and it helps that he is very easy to work with.<br />
<br />
8. Did he have a large body of excellent matches?<br />
Did he have a excellent matches against a variety of opponents?<br />
<br />
Yes. Excellent singles matches vs. [[Blue Panther]] (best lucha match of the 90s<br />
that nobody ever seems to talk about), [[Villano III]], [[Emilio Charles Jr.]],<br />
[[Jerry Estrada]], [[El Dandy]], [[Satanico]], just to name a few. Also, a wide variety<br />
of trios matches were his performance was an important part in making the<br />
match excellent.<br />
<br />
9. Did he ever anchor his promotion(s)?<br />
<br />
He was, with [[Lizmark]] and [[Rayo de Jalisco Jr.|Rayo Jr.]], the main tecnico star of the promotion during the last years in the 80s through [[1990]]. By [[1991]] we had [[Octagon]]<br />
getting over from lowcard attraction to main event superstar fast, [[Perro Aguayo|Aguayo]]<br />
wrestling more at [[Arena Mexico]] as a tecnico, [[Konnan]], [[Anibal|Anibal's]] return to lose<br />
his mask. By [[1992]], we also had [[Vampiro]] and [[Love Machine|Love Machine's]] push. In all<br />
fairness, Atlantis was still there, sometimes main eventing, but he was far<br />
from an anchor. He "took back" his spot when by May, everybody and their<br />
mothers had left to [[AAA]]. When [[AAA]] started the main tecnicos for La Empresa<br />
were Atlantis, [[Rayo de Jalisco Jr.|Rayo]], [[Lizmark]] and [[Vampiro]]. And not too much after, Lizmark and [[Rayo de Jalisco Jr.|Rayo]] left.<br />
<br />
10. Was he effective when pushed at the top of<br />
cards?<br />
<br />
Yes. He played his roles well (more later), made a good champion when given<br />
a belt AND booked to look like a fighting champion (you can not blame him for<br />
[[CMLL]] not caring about some of their titles), and when given the chance he<br />
rarely let anybody down by not being good or charismatic enough.<br />
<br />
His hardest career test perhaps was starting it off with a nice push in the<br />
market with the toughest fans, but he didn't let anybody down even then.<br />
<br />
11. Was he valuable to his promotion before his<br />
prime? Was he still valuable to his promotion after<br />
his prime?<br />
<br />
Yes and yes. Before his prime he was an amazing young worker who could be<br />
used on top if needed and was a natural successor for [[Lizmark]]. He was given<br />
the chance to headline several big shows, and through work and charisma he<br />
was seen as a big star. Years later, [[Mogur]], who was a similar prospect<br />
(though not as good in the ring) was given a similar push and he failed. And<br />
also [[Angel Azteca]] was given a push as an Atlantis/[[Lizmark]] kind of guy, and<br />
got over well enough, but was never seen on the level.<br />
<br />
After his prime, he had several big and huge matches. Nowadays he's still<br />
useful to the company as a "young legend" that can still go. He is still<br />
used in main events, both trios and singles, and currently is 1/3 of the<br />
[[CMLL]] Trios champions with [[Mr. Niebla]] and [[Black Warrior]].<br />
<br />
12. Did he have an impact on a number of strong<br />
promotional runs?<br />
<br />
During the 80s, [[UWA]] was the number one promotion, and [[EMLL]] had good business<br />
but not strong promotional runs.<br />
<br />
In one of those funny things, I think by 1989 guys like Atlantis, [[Satanico]],<br />
[[Dandy]], [[Pirata Morgan]] with their work, and others like [[Cien Caras]] and [[Rayo de<br />
Jalisco Jr.]] with their mask match a year later, along with the decline of<br />
novelty value in the [[UWA]] cards after [[Francisco Flores|Francisco Flores']] death, were key<br />
pieces in making la Empresa the #1 promotion in Mexico again. But by 1991-92<br />
with the TV boom caused by TV personalities like [[Konnan]], [[Octagon]], [[Vampiro]],<br />
Brazos, etc., and legends like [[Perro Aguayo|Aguayo]], caused the guys that had been pulling<br />
the wagon during the last few years (except for [[Cien Caras]]) to be pushed<br />
back. Not to say it was a bad thing to do business wise, but I always think<br />
Peña never really knew how to use either Atlantis or [[Satanico]].<br />
<br />
13. Was he involved in a number of memorable<br />
rivalries, feuds or storylines?<br />
<br />
Yes. His rivalries with [[Mano Negra]] and [[Villano III]], even if it was just<br />
because of the value of the fallen mask, would be talked about in 30 years.<br />
Especially the [[Villano III]]. But they made them actually very interesting<br />
feuds, with one of them ending in one of the few memorable matches of the<br />
last five years, and the other one actually had a disappointing mask vs.<br />
mask match but was a very good feud overall.<br />
<br />
Him feuding with [[Kung Fu]] is considered memorable because of [[Kung Fu|Kung Fu's]]<br />
nostalgia value to Toreo fans, but I hated it. I'm putting the blame 100%<br />
here on [[Kung Fu]] as Atlantis did what he could. No way their matches could be<br />
memorable.<br />
<br />
The [[Angel Azteca|Azteca]]/Atlantis vs. [[Dandy]]/[[Satanico]] rivalry was not long lived because of Dandy turning, but it was a hardcore lucha libre fan dream and matches were<br />
memorable. The Atlantis vs. [[Emilio Charles Jr.|Charles]] feud was great, too, but not memorable<br />
even though some of their matches were.<br />
<br />
14. Was he effective working on the mic, working<br />
storylines or working angles?<br />
<br />
Mic work is almost irrelevant in Mexico (but he is not good at it - during<br />
years he would endlessy stammer when in front of the mic, even though he<br />
didn't have a stammer). Working storylines, I think he always was very<br />
effective. Realistically, nobody with some vision of the business thought<br />
he'd ever lose against [[Kung Fu]] or [[Mano Negra]] as both were past their prime<br />
as workers (not that [[Kung Fu]] was ever great) and they were played out acts<br />
with no drawing power left outside of a big mask match. But he played the<br />
sympathetic babyface so well, that he made you doubt. Now, [[Villano III]] is<br />
another subject. We (as in the English language lucha community) had been<br />
hearing for months rumors about [[Villano III|Villano]] wanting to drop the mask, but the<br />
feud was built so well that we were in the edge until the day of the match.<br />
I can honestly say that even though I had Atlantis as the winner I was not<br />
too confident of my choice because it was close to a 50/50 chance pick.<br />
<br />
15. Did he play his role(s) effectively during his<br />
career?<br />
<br />
Yes. He was a good "hungry young tecnico who can hang around with the vets".<br />
He played this role successfully during his early years by outworking<br />
veterans with a good worker rep, and not getting smoked when he was put in<br />
the same team than a [[Lizmark]] or a [[Mascara Año 2000]] level tecnico (don't<br />
laugh, this guy used to be pure awesomeness).<br />
<br />
As a champion, I guess he's a bit like Kobashi or Toyota, who makes a better<br />
challenger than champion, but he had credibility during his most important<br />
title reign (his third NWA Middleweight title) as he made a good fighting<br />
champion that defeated top challengers like [[Fiera]], [[Blue Panther|Panther]], [[Emilio Charles Jr.|Charles]], [[Javier Cruz|Cruz]], [[Dandy]] or then up-and-coming young rudo [[Bestia Salvaje]].<br />
<br />
His other major role, which has been played on-and-off since 1988, was of<br />
the "top star who is the partner of hot young tecnico prospects". By teaming<br />
with him, he helped get [[Angel Azteca]] enough credibility to look like a<br />
threat to top workers like [[Dandy]] and [[Satanico]]. Of course this also has got<br />
to be credited to [[Dandy]] and [[Satanico]] for making [[Angel Azteca|Azteca]] look strong, and to<br />
[[Angel Azteca|Azteca]] for being good to keep up, but Atlantis played his role well. He's<br />
also had a somewhat similar role with [[Mr. Niebla]], and [[Octagon]] was put in<br />
matches with him, [[El Hijo del Santo|Santo]] and others when [[Octagon]] was started to get<br />
recognition as the "new hot prospect that is on the level of the stablished<br />
stars". Also to his credit, Atlantis many times put his young partners over<br />
in pre or post match interviews.<br />
<br />
16. What titles and tournaments did he win? What was<br />
the importance of the reigns?<br />
<br />
National Middleweight Title: His first title. Can't say much on it, but he<br />
had several very good matches.<br />
<br />
NWA World Middleweight Title x 3. First two reigns was hot potato title<br />
exchanges with [[Emilio Charles Jr.]], so little meaning, but the wrestling was<br />
very good. He eventually took back the title in 1990 from [[Dandy]] in his last<br />
reign, which is the one I already talked about.<br />
<br />
National Tag Team Titles w/ [[Angel Azteca]]: This did more for [[Angel Azteca|Azteca]] than for<br />
Atlantis. Very good tag matches vs. [[Dandy]] and [[Satanico]].<br />
<br />
National Trios Titles w/ [[Octagon]] and [[Mascara Sagrada]]: Again, Atlantis & hot<br />
prospects win titles to give credibility to the "new" guys.<br />
<br />
CMLL World Light Heavyweight Title: First reign was more than a year and a<br />
half long, but was not much. No strong title defenses that I can recall.<br />
Second reign was a very good use of the title, as it was an extra to the<br />
[[Villano III]] vs. Atlantis feud. [[Villano III]] took it back, but strong title<br />
defenses all over (DF, Puebla, Cuernavaca) including V3 winning the title in<br />
a show with a very good 5,500 crowd in Tampico.<br />
<br />
CMLL World Tag Team Titles x2 w/ [[Rayo de Jalisco Jr.]], w/ [[Lizmark]]: Few title<br />
defenses in each reign.<br />
<br />
CMLL World Trios Titles x2 w/ [[Mr. Niebla]] & [[Lizmark]], w/ [[Mr. Niebla]] & [[Black Warrior]]: Ditto for the first reign. Second one is still going, but has not<br />
amounted to much so far.<br />
<br />
As for tournaments I can only recall the copa Victoria. Tournaments don't<br />
mean much in Mexico unless it's the Leyenda de Plata. [[Rayo de Jalisco Jr.]]<br />
loves to win lot of the small tournaments, so maybe Atlantis was in his team<br />
for some.<br />
<br />
17. Did he win many honors and awards?<br />
<br />
WON Match Of The Year 2000 vs. [[Villano III]].<br />
<br />
Back in the early 90s, the English speaking lucha community was the<br />
subscriber list of Lucha Libre Weekly (Steve Sims' newsletter) and Viva la<br />
Lucha (Kurt Brown's fanzine). The latter gave year end awards/polls from<br />
89-94, while the other one usually had Steve's opinions only (IIRC). The<br />
Mexican magazine awards are way more markish and political than the PWI<br />
awards of the era, and they are hard to track down anyway, so I'm not<br />
counting them.<br />
<br />
VLL Babyface of the year: 1989, 90 and 93.<br />
VLL Wrestler of the year: 1989<br />
VLL Tope/Move of the year: 1990 (for his Quebrada)<br />
<br />
18. Did he get mainstream exposure due to his<br />
wrestling fame? Did he get a heavily featured by the<br />
wrestling media?<br />
<br />
No and no.<br />
<br />
19. Was he a top tag team wrestler?<br />
<br />
Not really, but tag team wrestling has not been really big in Mexico in the<br />
last 16-17 years. Now we see a lot of it with the team of [[Ultimo Guerrero|Guerrero]] and<br />
[[Rey Bucanero|Bucanero]], though, which is good, and El Toreo's golden years featured mostly<br />
tag team matches on top, but Atlantis was a Coliseo/Mexico guy.<br />
<br />
20. Was he innovative?<br />
<br />
The Atlantida backbreaker seems to be his creation. Up to 1991, while not<br />
innovative, his flying was state-of-the-art. In 1991 the new generation of<br />
[[Volador]], [[Oro]], [[Misterioso]], etc. passed him in that aspect. And around that<br />
time, he was smart enough to start dropping some of his crazy moves while<br />
still young and healthy.<br />
<br />
21. Was he influential?<br />
<br />
He's not a [[Lizmark]]-like influential figure, though because of him being<br />
popular, I guess many kids wanted to be like him. But I don't think that<br />
makes you HOF worthy unless you are Santo and those kids were half a<br />
country. :)<br />
<br />
22. Did he make the people and workers around him<br />
better?<br />
<br />
Nowadays he just goes through the motions, but in the past he could look<br />
good himself with a limited opponent, and he could make that opponent look<br />
strong by selling and bumping well. During years, [[Pierroth Jr.]] and Atlantis<br />
were the favorite rudo and tecnico (respectively) for the touring foreigners<br />
because how easy was to work with them.<br />
<br />
23. Did he do what was best for the promotion? Did<br />
he show a commitment to wrestling?<br />
<br />
He's considered the ultimate pro by his peers and the promoters, and he's<br />
got dedication. He's a guy that rarely, if ever, no-shows without telling<br />
the promoter in advance, and he's one of those guys that arrives to the<br />
arena early. I have never heard any complaints about Atlantis' attitude.<br />
<br />
Nowadays, he rarely loses cleanly, but he puts people over when needed and when he has got big mask vs. mask programs he puts his opponent over really strong. Of course he will end up taking the mask, but he does a good job of making it work. In fact, it's not too uncommon to see fans that are not all that knowledgeable about the worked side of the business, cite how Atlantis took the masks of [[Villano III|Villano]] and [[Mano Negra]] "with fluke wins" and "being an inferior wrestler" (in [[Villano III|Villano's]] case one can understand, but no way with [[Mano Negra]]).<br />
<br />
24. Is there any reason to believe that he was<br />
better or worse than he appeared?<br />
<br />
He's always been really protected by [[Paco Alonso]], probably due to loyalty. During his prime years, as good as he was, he was always facing the top rudo workers in the promotion so he looked even better. But to be fair, those rudos also looked better and stronger when facing Atlantis too, so it was more of a mutual help deal.</font><br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
<br />
After being a career tecnico, Atlantis was changed to a rudo in [[2005]]. It did not appear to be his idea or even the promotion's idea, but the fans forcing a change. [[CMLL]] had been building up Atlantis, including weekly ''Seccion Azul'' features trumpeting his work with kids or focusing an award being given to Atlantis, to push him as the ultimate good guy. The build was the setup for a [[Dr. Wagner Jr.]]/[[Atlantis]] mask match, the culmination of a long rivalry. <br />
<br />
Unexpectedly to the promotion, once the fans realized the long teased mask match would actually happen, they turned on Atlantis and threw their support vocally behind Dr. Wagner Jr. Wagner had turned tecnico in 2004 when the crowds adopted him as a new hero following the death of his [[Dr. Wagner|father]]. The Doc was riding the wave of new tecnico support at the time, while Atlantis was the same unchanged man he'd been for years and had slowed down as a worker. <br />
<br />
Some of the anti-Atlantis anger has also been attributed to [[Arena Mexico]] fans becoming more rebellious and more pro-rudo. The rudo [[Perros del Mal]] faction became popular at the same time by pushing those buttons, and Atlantis was the polar opposite. <br />
<br />
While Atlantis was booed, Dr. Wagner grew stronger as a tecnico and a ticket seller. Even more than the fan reaction, the increased value of [[Dr. Wagner Jr.]] (and his mask) caused the planned mask match not to happen. Wagner may have agreed to drop his mask to Atlantis at a certain price, but by the time it came to sign the contracts, the price Wagner now wanted to lose his mask was more than CMLL was willing to pay (so much that [[CMLL]] couldn't pay him and hope to make a profit on the show in an arena the size of [[Arena Mexico]].) The mask match, despite having been verbally agreed to by both parties in front of the crowd at the end of an Arena Mexico, was quietly discarded.<br />
<br />
This left Atlantis in limbo; he was still being booed, and he was going to get the payoff. With no mask match, Atlantis and CMLL gave into the boos. They acknowledged the boos, and had Atlantis react angrily to them. The anger turned into jealously directed at fellow tecnico [[Mistico]], and Atlantis turned on him. The feud progressed thru the fall of 2005, with [[El Hijo del Santo]] helping out Mistico, and Atlantis allying himself with [[Ultimo Guerrero]]. Atlantis became a full rudo, and a member of Ultimo's [[Guerreros del Infiernio]], renamed [[Guerreros del Atlántida]] in honor of their new member. (His entrance into the group would eventually lead to [[Rey Bucanero]]'s departure.)<br />
<br />
The rudo turn, and the sequence of events leading up to it, seemed to reawaken Atlantis. He changed his look, replacing the white with black, and often substituting his trademark tecnico blue for red or other colors. In the ring, and after he went completely rudo, he seemed to relish the opportunity to use every dirty trick that was ever used against him. As a rudo, Atlantis has an over the top, bordering on cartoon-ishly evil personality, like a mix of a crazy old man and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snidely_Whiplash Snidley Whiplash].<br />
<br />
Despite being a rudo, he still considers himself the idol of the kids, and he still has many fans among them. <br />
<br />
In lead up to the aborted mask match, Atlantis won the [[NWA LH|NWA Light Heavyweight Championship]] from Dr. Wagner, and the title has been as visible as titles get in CMLL (though he doesn't always wear it to the ring.) He's virtual co-leader of GdI and still in a high profile position within the promotion.<br />

== Biography == <br />
<font face="Verdana"><br />
<br />
Tinieblas was born on June 8, 1939 (not 1945 like he'll tell you) in Mexico City. Even though his family name shouldn't be revealed at this point, he's the brother of a famous Mexican bullfighter of the past.<br />
<br />
From the 60s to the early 90s, there was a very popular magazine in Mexico called "Lucha Libre", run by Valente Pérez (though it was renamed "Lucha Libre Mundial" when Benjamín Mora Jr. took over, and not coincidentally, the magazine didn't last a lot with Mora in charge). LL also had a bodybuilding sister magazine called "Muscle Power", whose editor also was Valente Pérez. Pérez, who was well liked and respected in the business and had a very good relationship with the Lutteroth family, had a special talent to come up with names and personalities for new luchadores, the most successful one being Mil Máscaras.<br />
<br />
At the same time, a young man who had entered "Mister Jalisco" contests in Guadalajara, was scouted by [[Black Shadow]] and [[Dory Dixon]]. Both saw a future star in the youngster, especially because he was very tall for a Mexican. Shadow and Dixon convinced him to get into pro wrestling and he went under training with EMLL's maestros Rafael Salamanca and Dick Medrano.<br />
<br />
Before wrestler, he was an actor and extra, participating in films with capulina, [[El Santo | Santo]] and [[Blue Demon | Blue Demon]] in movies such as Frankenstein, ''Satanas'' and was one of the mummy's in Las Momias de Guanajuato. He made his debut as Tinieblas in the movie Los Campeones Justicieros (1970. A year later made his debut as luchador. He also participated in these films:<br />
<br />
<br />
#[[1982 El puño de la muerte]] as Tinieblas <br />
#1982 [[La furia de los karatecas]] as Tinieblas. <br />
#1975 [[El investigador Capulina]] as Tinieblas. <br />
#1975 [[Las momias de San Ángel]] (as Tinieblas 'El Gigante') .<br />

#1969 [[Santo y Blue Demon contra los monstruos]] (as Franquestain) .<br />
#1963 [[Kings of the Sun]] (uncredited) .<br />
<br />
Also, he filmed Las Aventuras de Capulina with [[Alushe]] in the 70s and 80s.<br />
<br />
In 1968, Pérez came up with a new character that had money written all over it. He thought about an ultimate heel nemesis for Mil Mascaras, and what better for that than the subject of darkness? He had even designed the perfect mask for this wrestler - a faceless hood. That's how Tinieblas was born, but in the end, he made his debut (and spent the rest of his career) as a tecnico and not as a rudo. In his first match, he teamed with [[Dory Dixon]] and [[Black Shadow]] to face [[Dr. Wagner]], [[El Solitario]] and [[Renato Torres]] in the main event of the August 20, 1971 Arena Mexico card.<br />
<br />
In a way, Tinieblas can be seen as a disappointment, because even though he has had a very respectful career and nobody can deny that he is a legend, it was thought that through the movies he'd eventually reach the legendary status of [[El Santo]] and [[Blue Demon]] just like [[Mil Mascaras]] did.<br />
<br />
He made a few movies (he had actually been a stunt man and an "extra" in many films before his lucha debut, with perhaps his most relevant work being in the Tarzan TV series of the 60s), and he was often used as a villain due to his size (he was Dr. Frankenstein in the 1973 "Santo y Blue Demon contra el Dr. Frankenstein") but he never really became a successful movie star. However he became a pioneer of an alternative art form that is still strong today - the weekly comic books. At their peak of popularity, those small books released issues on several stars, but he was the first one, other than Santo, to get his own weekly comic. He had a series released from 1976 to 1979, which is considered the best and most successful one. In the early 90s (1991 and 1992 to be more concrete) there was a "lucha magazine boom", as more than 20 WEEKLY publications were released in the country. But the one that easily was the largest selling magazine of them all, was the little comic booklet called "Sensacional de Luchas a Color". This book, published by Editorial Ejea, featured an history with a masked wrestler every week. While [[Rayo de Jalisco Jr.]], [[Misterioso]], [[Atlantis]], [[Octagon]] and others were heavily featured on those, the only wrestler that had his own comic was Tinieblas. This series called "Tinieblas, El Hijo de la Noche" (Son of the night) lasted from 1991 to 1995 (when the boom was long dead, economy went down and production costs went up). The comic was relaunched in the year 2000 by Editorial Shilbalba, but now it had a bigger page format and far better production (so not to look cheap and outdated compared to the Japanese and American comics). At this point, he's the last wrestler to have the honor of having his own comic book. In Japan, Tinieblas is described as a "Modern Comic Hero"<br />
<br />
The lack of titles and big singles main events during his career tells us that Tinieblas' biggest strength wasn't his ringwork. It was adequate, though, but as he had a very late debut, age caught him faster than it does with other luchadores.<br />
<br />
Either way, Tinieblas was a big draw and achieved huge success as a "lucha embassador" in countries like Panama, Guatemala and many of the Caribbean islands. He also was one of the first luchadores to tour Japan when he came for an August of 1974 tour as "El León Tinieblas", but he didn't return to Japan until 1991, when he was used by the W*ING promotion in a tag team with his son, [[Tinieblas Jr.]]<br />
<br />
As mentioned before, there's a general lack of big trophies in Tinieblas' career. In March of 1980, he won the Junior Heavyweight Title in [[Jose Azzari]]'s Guatemalan UWA, defeating La Furia and losing it back in Guatemala to Edgar Echeverría after 15 successful defenses. He also briefly held the WWA World Heavyweight Title (defeating [[Bill Anderson]] on January 31, 1987 in Los Angeles) until losing it to [[Super Halcón]], but that's about it, as he has never been in a big "lucha de apuestas".<br />
<br />
He also was one of the very first men that left EMLL in December of 1974 to form the UWA. Since then, he has spent the rest of his career as an independent contractor. He had long runs in Tijuana with Mora but he was loyal to the UWA until it was in its last legs. In June of 1992 he jumped to AAA. Other than some work for EMLL in 1996, he stayed with AAA until he and his son left in August of 1997. The junior jumped to Promo Azteca and the senior became a true freelancer again (though he now had ties with Promo Azteca). Today, he can often be seen competing for EMLL and the IWRG.<br />
<br />
Tinieblas' popularity is still high today among kids. In order to keep his name strong, in 1988 he added his "mini-mascot" [[Alushe]] to his act, and in the late 80s and early 90s he appeared in the Capulina TV show for kids. Nowadays he follows the Mil Mascaras routine of wrestling everywhere, but just a few dates to avoid burning out.<br />
<br />
It's not known how long will Tinieblas stay in the business. He has little athleticism left but he has shown no signs of retirement and it looks like he will be able to get work at almost all the big arenas for a few more years, relying on name value and Alushe's comedy.<br />
<br />
As a fun fact, one of Tinieblas' nicknames is "El Gigante Sabio" (The Wise Giant). In the Lucha Libre magazine, and more recently in Luchas 2000, there was a "Pregúntale a Tinieblas" (Ask Tinieblas) section where people would supposedly send him general culture questions and he'd answer them. After reading Tinieblas' answers and seeing how accurate they are, you can bet that an encyclopedia was used to answer those, but in reality, Tinieblas is a very intelligent man with a tremendous cultural knowledge!<br />
<br />
During 2010 he made a retirement tour in AAA CMLL and independients arenas. Later he changed his mind and continued wrestling. He said in an interview by [[El Hijo del Santo | El Hijo del Santo's]] program that he might retire in 2012 or 2013. After 45 years wrestler, he finally retired. He says won about 10 masks and 15 hairs matches. </font><br />
<br />
=== not [[Dr. Alfonso Morales]] ===<br />
<br />
On the week Tinieblas debuted, lucha announcer [[Dr. Alfonso Morales]] was absent. Dr. Morales missing a show is a strange event, he's a tall man, and Tinieblas is a tall man, so some believed the announcer was actually under the mask. <br />
<br />
This is not true. Morales is not Tinieblas, and has done commentary on his matches. Still, the rumor persists and is running joke among the announcers.<br />

He said in an interview by [[El Hijo del Santo | El Hijo del Santo's]] program that he might retire in 2012 or 2013. After 45 years wrestler, he finally retired. He says won about 10 masks and 15 hairs matches. </font><br />

=== not [[Dr. Alfonso Morales]] ===<br />
<br />
On the week Tinieblas debuted, lucha announcer [[Dr. Alfonso Morales]] was absent. Dr. Morales missing a show is a strange event, he's a tall man, and Tinieblas is a tall man, so some believed the announcer was actually under the mask. <br />
<br />
This is not true. Morales is not Tinieblas, and has done commentary on his matches. Still, the rumor persists and is running joke among the announcers.<br />

== Biografía ==<br />
Arturo Díaz Mendoza, mejor conocido como Villano III, nació el 23 Marzo de 1952 en la Ciudad de México como tercero de los ocho hijos del legendario Ray Mendoza y Guadalupe Mendoza.<br />
<br />
Desde que eran niños, su padre tenía a todos sus hijos varones participando en varios deportes, para evitar que malgastaran su tiempo en las calles sin hacer nada. Arturo fue buen luchador amateur, y en Julio 1962 cuando tenía solo 12 años de edad, ganó torneo amateur local en división de los 27 kilos .<br />
<br />
Siguiendo los pasos de su padre y sus hermanos mayores quienes ya eran luchadores, el comenzó a entrenar en el gimnasio de la Arena Naucalpan con Felipe Ham Lee y su padre. Ray Mendoza no quería que ninguno de sus fuera luchador porque el no quería que terminarán lastimados como el. Aunque finalmente el aceptó; sin embargo hubo a condición. Mendoza primero quería que sus hijos terminarán una carrera para que tuvieran algo en caso de lesionarse o que tuvieran retirarse. Arturo estudió en la Escuela Superior de Educacion Fisica donde obtuvo un grado en Educación Física, como su hermano José de Jesús (Villano I) consiguió años atrás.<br />
<br />
Un día, un luchador faltó en un una preliminar en la Arena Neza donde el se encontraba , y los luchadores en los vestidores querían que subiera como suplente. Arturo no estaba seguro, porque creía que aun no estaba listo, pero todos lo animaron y al final el subió. Sin máscara y con nombre de Ray Rosas, hizo su debut el 29 de enero de 1970. El un novato, pero aquellos que lo vieron lo catalogaron como alguien con mucha clase.<br />
<br />
A partir de ahí, uso varias identidades como El Pulpo Blanco, Mancha Roja, Búfalo Salvaje - el cual el nombre que usaron sus hermanos mayores, pero el que el uso en esa era fue el de Rokambole (el cual seria usado por Villano V años después en sus inicios).<br />
<br />
En enero de 1973 fue considerado para tener ya el nombre de la familia, por lo que asumio la identidad del Villano III, debutando como tal en la Arena Naucalpan, la cual de alguna forma ha sido simbólica para la familia por años ya que cada uno de los cinco hermanos pasaron por esta arena. En 1974 el capturo el Campeonato Welter del Estado de Mexico el cual fue el primero de muchos triunfos.<br />
<br />
Como rudo el Villano III fue considerado "natural" desde el comienzo. Para 1975 el obtuvo una gran oportunidad cuando su padre su amigo, René Guajardo y Karloff Lagarde, junto con muchos otros luchadores de renombre unieron fuerzas con el promotor Francisco J. Flores comenzando el movimiento independiente. <br />
<br />
En Diciembre de 1975, se convirtio en el primer campeon mundial welter UWA venciendo al legendario Huracán Ramírez. El rivalizo con Solar I por el cinturon por dos años hasta que en mayo de 1977, perderia ese cinturon ante Solar I. <br />
<br />
Durante esos años, su más grande logro fue desenmascarar a Los Escorpiones (Raul Reyes y Benny Romero), un equipo famoso que no solo lucho en Mexico sino también en Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico. Esa noche del 13 de Agosto de 1978, junto a Bobby Lee, el joven y talentoso luchador quien mas tarde en ese año seria de las ultimas victimas de El Santo. <br />
<br />
En 1981 él ya estaba luchando en El Toreo, donde el hacia equipo con su padre Ray Mendoza y/o con sus hermanos los Villanos I and II. Mientras el luchaba como rudo, el era un rudo que la los fans les gustaba apoyar y aun más cuando el luchaba junto a su padre. El atrapo la atencion de todos cuando el primero de marzo de 1981 el derroto a Fishman en El Toreo para ganar el Campeonato Mundial Semicompleto UWA el segundo campeonato más importante del país en esta división. Fishman era el eterno campeón semicompleto UWA en la época dorada de El Toreo. Posteriormente el Villano III ganaría el campeonato mundial semicompleto de la WWF y protagonizaría luchas ante el Perro Aguayo y el Brazo de Oro catalogadas como luchas del año tanto por las revistas “Lucha Libre” y “El Halcon” respectivamente.<br />
<br />
El 1 de Agosto de 1982 el Villano III vence al Signo en frente de una localidad agotada de 18, 000 asistentes despojandolo de su mascara. Dos semanas despues el Texano caeria ante el Villano III el 15 de Agosto, en el Palacio de los Deportes con una asistencia de 15, 000 personas.<br />
<br />
Despues de estos grandes triunfos Villano III fue a New Japan a enfrentar a Tiger Mask en Fudoka por el Campeonato Mundial Completo Junior de la WWF, cayendo ante el Tigre Enmascarado en solo 7 minutos en una gran lucha pese al tiempo que duro. Luego tuvieron en una revancha en Noviembre de ese año en El Toreo, una lucha mas larga que fue a dos de tres caídas donde Tiger Mask se llevaría la victoria nuevamente.<br />
<br />
Luego de su regreso de Japon formo una tercia junto a El Solitario y Anibal y se hicieron llamar "Los Tres Caballeros" En 1984 Dos Caras tomaría el lugar del Solitario.<br />
<br />
El 20 de Marzo de 1983, el capturó el Campeonato Mundial Semicompleto de la WWF que estaba en manos del Perro Aguayo generando una rivalidad con el. Lo cual llevaría a una serie de luchas donde el Perro Aguayo destronaría al Villano III en la revancha, posteriormente una lucha en Super Libre donde fue un baño de sangre y finalmente el 21 de Agosto raparía al Perro Aguayo.<br />
<br />
3 años después, El Villano III y el Perro Aguayo se unirían para desenmascarar a los Black Powers I y II. Ademas del Perro Aguayo, otros dos grandes rivales para el Villano III en los 80s fueron Sangre Chicana y Rambo.<br />
<br />
En el Aniversario de El Toreo el 25 de septiembre de 1987. El Villano III desenmascaro a Rambo, Jose Luis Mendieta. Esta lucha sangrienta fue reconocida como una de las mejores del año. El 14 de Agosto de 1989, Sangre Chicana vence al Villano III por el Campeonato Mundial Semicompleto WWF, pero antes de esa lucha ambos se enfrentaron por todo el país protagonizando grandes batallas y llenos totales especialmente en Monterrey y Nuevo Laredo. <br />
<br />
En 1991, Villano III, comenzó a rivalizar en contra de un joven canadiense conocido como Pegasus Kid, enviado a México por la New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) para entrenar y ganar experiencia. Pegasus Kid gano el campeonato semicompleto de la WWF al Villano III el 3 de marzo de 1991. Sin embargo, Villano III gana en la lucha de Apuesta, lo que le obligó a desenmascarar y revelar el verdadero nombre de Pegasus Kid: Chris Benoit... <br />
<br />
El séptimo y último reinado del Villano III con el Campeonato Semicompleto WWF comenzó el 18 de julio de 1994, cuando derrotó a El Signo. Retuvo el título hasta Enero de 1995, cuando la UWA había cerrado sus puertas y el Villano dejó vacante el título que con el que había estado relacionado por más de diez años. En marzo de 1996 Los Villanos derrotaron a Cien Caras, Heavy Metal y Latin Lover para convertirse en los titulares por primera vez del campeonato de trios de las Américas AAA. Los Villanos también se convirtieron en los primeros campeones nacionales atómicos, haciendo equipo con Pierroth Jr. A principios de 1999, Villano III comenzó a trabajar para Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).<br />
<br />
El 25 de diciembre 1999 Villano III y Súper Astro se unieron para luchar contra Lizmark y Fishman en Relevos Increibles con Final Suicida. Cuando Villano III y Súper Astro perdieron se vieron obligados a luchar unos contra otros en una lucha de Apuestas. Al final Villano III ganó el encuentro, obligando a Súper Astro a desenmascararse. El 22 de noviembre 1999 Villano III derroto a Atlantis para ganar el Campeonato Mundial de Peso semicompleto del CMLL. El cambio de título fue sólo uno el principio de una larga rivalidad entre Atlantis y Villano III, una que también incluía a sus hermanos Villano IV y V. El 17 de marzo de 2000, en el evento La Historia Nunca Se Repetira, Atlantis logró su mayor victoria de apuesta hasta la fecha al vencer y desenmascarar al Villano III en una lucha que fue votada como la mejor de año por el Wrestling Observer.<br />
<br />
Un Villano III todavia rudo agradecio a los aficionados y a su padre por todos esos grandes momentos en su Carrera. Pierroth quien en ese tiempo tenia su facción de los Boricuas lo echa del grupo luego de que el Villano se rehusara a seguir sus ordenes. Pierroth y los Boricuas le dieron la espalda creyendo que se habia vuelto blando. El 28 de Abril del 2001 Arturo debuto como técnico haciendo equipo con dos de sus más grandes rivales, Atlantis y el mismísimo Perro Aguayo contra Pierroth, Shocker y Mascara Año 2000.<br />
<br />
El 4 de Agosto del 2001 en la primera versión de Infierno en el Ring de CMLL Villano III rapo por primera vez a Máscara 2000 en una lucha en jaula donde estuvieron el Perro Aguayo Pierroth. Tiempo después del fallecimiento de Ray Mendoza, Los Villanos regresaron al circuito independiente.<br />
<br />
El Villano III posee un record de alrededor de 140 mascaras y 100 cabelleras quedando solamente detrás del Super Muñeco y de Estrella Blanca en cuanto a cantidad de luchas de apuestas. El únicamente perdió 2 encuentros su mascara ante Atlantis y su cabellera a manos de LA PARK. En febrero del 2012 celebro 40 años de Carrera. En el 2015 el Villano III anuncio su retiro de los cuadrilateros. En el 2017 Villano III fue reconocido en Homenaje a Dos Leyendas en CMLL. <br />
<br />
== Biography == <br />
Arturo Díaz Mendoza, Villano III, was born on [[March 23]], [[1952]] in [[Mexico City]] as the third oldest kid of the eight children that lucha libre legend [[Ray Mendoza]] had with his long time wife Guadalupe "Lupita" Mendoza.<br />
<br />
Since they were little kids, their father had all the boys in the family participate in several sports, so they'd not be wasting their time doing nothing in the streets. Arturo was a good amateur wrestler, and in July of [[1962]], when he was only 12 years old, won a local amateur tournament in the under 27 kilos (60 pounds) division.<br />
<br />
Following the steps of his father, and his two older brothers who already were wrestlers, he started training at the [[Arena Naucalpan]] gym with [[Felipe Ham Lee]] and his father. Mendoza did not want any of his sons to be wrestlers because he did not want them to be hurt all the time like he was, but ended up accepting it since they were living inside the business from a young age. However, one condition that he put on them is that he wanted them to finish a career of their choice, so they'd have something to do if they got injured or had to retire early. Arturo studied at the Escuela Superior de Educacion Fisica (Physical Education High School) where he got a P.E. degree, like his older brother José de Jesús ([[Villano I]]) had gotten a few years before.<br />
<br />
One day, a wrestler no-showed an undercard spot at [[Arena Neza]] where he was hanging out and training, and the wrestlers at the locker room suggested Arturo to work as a replacement. He was not sure of it, because he was far from ready, but since everybody was cheering him on it, he did it. Using no mask, and the name Ray Rosas, he made his debut on that [[January 29]] of [[1970]]. He was green, but those who saw him labeled him as having so much class for somebody at his level.<br />
<br />
From then on, he used several names like Pulpo Blanco (White Octopus), Mancha Roja (Red Stain), Búfalo Salvaje (Wild Buffalo - which was the name his two older brothers used in a tag team), but he the one he used the most during that era was Rokambole (which was the name his brother [[Villano V]] would use several years later during his rookie years). The name refers to a fictional French adventurous character named Rocambole.<br />
<br />
In January of [[1973]] it was considered that he was ready to pick up the family name, so he switched to Villano III, debuting as such at Arena Naucalpan, which has been sort of a family base for years as that's the arena where each and every one of the five brothers got their seasoning and their first push. In [[1974]] he captured the Welterweight division titles of Mexico State and Naucalpan, getting his first, and definitely not last, taste of gold in the business.<br />
<br />
As a rudo, V3 was considered to be a "natural" for the business and a good worker from the start. By 1975 he got his first big break in the business when his father and long time friends [[René Guajardo]] and [[Karloff Lagarde]], along with many other major stars, joined forces with promoter [[Francisco Flores|Francisco J. Flores]] and started the independent movement. One of the reasons why Mendoza left [[EMLL]] was that the new office (Lutteroth had stepped out and let his son [[Salvador Lutteroth Jr.|Salvador Jr.]], and nephew [[Paco Alonso]] run the office by themselves) was not very interested in pushing [[Villano I|Villanos I]] and [[Villano II|II]], and probably III had he been working for them more often. Still, Villano would go on and debut at [[Arena Coliseo]] on [[November 19]], [[1975]] and at [[Arena Mexico]] on [[March 2]], [[1976]], but he never had continuity in EMLL's major arenas.<br />
<br />
In [[1975]], because he was very affordable and he was such a good worker, many of the smaller arenas of the [[UWA]] network used him as a headliner for many profitable shows where they'd build to mask vs hair or mask vs mask matches with the local stars, who would lose to the new independent sensation. The most famous of his opponents were [[Memo Ventura]], [[La Cobra]], [[The Corzo Brothers]] and [[Lobo Rubio]], the later being his foe in a mask vs. hair opener at the big supershow at [[Plaza Mexico]] that was headlined by [[Mil Mascaras]] vs. [[Lou Thesz]] (and that tanked badly because of a huge rainstorm).<br />
<br />
By the end of the year (December), his hard work (and why not, a bit of family connections) paid off and he became the initial [[UWA World Welterweight championship|UWA World Welterweight champion]] by defeating legendary welterweight [[Huracán Ramírez]] (and not [[Solar I]] like some title histories say). He feuded with Solar I around the belt on and off for two years until May of [[1977]], when he was beat for it by the young up-and-comer.<br />
<br />
During these years, and until he became a bigger star later, his biggest archievent was taking the masks of [[Los Escorpiones]] ([[Raul Reyes]] -not the L.A. one- and [[Benny Romero]]), a famous team that worked not only in Mexico, but also in the USA and Puerto Rico. That night, [[August 13]] of [[1978]], his tag team partner was [[Bobby Lee]], the young and talented performer who months later became famous as [[El Santo]]'s final major singles opponent... and who ended up being a "what could have been" as his career was ended way short by injuries.<br />
<br />
Even though he already had won several ones in the past, this was Villano's first major (realistically, semi-major) "lucha de apuestas" win.<br />
<br />
Villano III teaming up with other young superworkers, such as [[Matematico]], was a thing you could often see in the main event of some of the small or mid-sized venues of the network of independent promoters in Mexico. This helped him build a reputation as one of the top workers in the country, at a time when in Mexico there was more and better wrestlers than at probably any point in lucha libre history.<br />
<br />
He became a much bigger star in the early 80s, to be more exact, 1981. He had already been working at [[El Toreo]] for some time, often teaming with his father Ray Mendoza or his brothers Villanos I and II. While he worked as a rudo, he was a rudo that fans liked to cheer... even more so when he was teaming with his father, who due to his legendary status just would not get booed. But he really caught everybody's attention on [[March 1]], [[1981]], by defeating [[Fishman]] at [[El Toreo]] to win the [[UWA World Light Heavyweight Title]]. This win was a huge deal, because of several things.<br />
<br />
First, the Light Heavyweight Title was the second most important title in the country. Second, it was "his father's title". During years and years, Mendoza had been the reigning [[NWA World Light Heavyweight championship|NWA World Light Heavyweight champ]] at [[Arena Mexico]], and while it was not the same belt, it symbolically had been continuing that tradition (and either way, Mendoza was a three time former UWA LHW champ). And last but not least, he had beaten a major star cleanly for it. Back then, Fishman was much higher than Villano III at the totem pole and was a highly regarded technical wrestler. Villano lost the title just four months later, on [[July 19]] at the same venue, but the point had been already made.<br />
<br />
While during El Toreo's golden years Fishman was the eternal UWA World LHW champion or challenger, V3 would become the dominant face of the [[WWF World Light Heavyweight title]], born out of the association of [[LLI]] and the [[World Wrestling Federation]]. Due to the excellent matches around that title with people like [[Perro Aguayo]], [[Gran Hamada]], Villano III and Fishman himself, that title actually surpassed in importance its equivalent with the UWA name. During years (and realistically, almost until the death of the promotion), the belt was the centerpiece of most of the greatest matches ever seen in [[Naucalpan]], including bouts against Perro Aguayo ([[1983]]) and [[Brazo de Oro]] ([[1984]]) that were voted "Match of the year" by the magazines "[[Lucha Libre (magazine)|Lucha Libre]]" and "[[El Halcon (magazine)|El Halcon]]", respectively.<br />
<br />
But let's get to what really was the turning point in Villano III's career. Ever since the Fishman win, after proving himself time after time to the fans, and with the public recognition of being the son of a legend who was living up to his father's standards (and many said, even surpassing them, in terms of work quality), he started getting cheered time after time.<br />
<br />
The gameplan of bookers Francisco J. Flores and [[Carlos Maynez]] was simple, but worked like a charm. Villano was put in week after week against the hottest rudo trio at the time (and probably ever), Los Misioneros de la Muerte: [[El Signo]], [[Negro Navarro]] and [[El Texano]]. They would beat him up badly week after week, tearing up his mask and making him bleed. In fact, he got some of those ugly scars all over his body from those wild days, because to cause a more dramatic effect, in a technique he copied from his father, he would blade not only his forehead, but his arms and chin as well. He eventually got fed up with the Misioneros' treatment, and challenged the trio's leader, El Signo, to a hair vs. hair match.<br />
<br />
On [[August 1]], [[1982]], he defeated Signo in front of a sold out crowd of 18,000 (apx.), and after the win, the babyface reaction he got was nothing short of deafening. Right after Signo's loss, El Texano, who was the youngest member of the team, challenged Villano and suffered the same face two weeks later, on August 15, though this time the match was at the nicer looking [[Palacio de los Deportes]] in [[Mexico City]]. It was reported in the magazines to be a classic, and the crowd was said to be very healthy, in the 15,000 range, even with a major Toreo show the same day with the return of [[Abdullah the Butcher]] to Mexico, teaming with Perro Aguayo against Ray Mendoza and [[Carlos Colón]] in what was pushed in the magazines as a sure-to-be bloody showdown.<br />
<br />
That's right, the same company put out two major shows the same day and in the same market, and both were a success at the gate. Because business was so hot, major stars like Villano III, Perro Aguayo, Texano and attractions like Abdullah were able to drag a huge number of the same fans to both shows. This was far from being a weekly happening, but they often had "must see" matches at Palacio on Sunday, while having the usual loaded Toreo show (whose weekly average for normal shows would be around 11,000), and if the cards were special enough the fans would go to both venues because they could not afford missing either show.<br />
<br />
Those two major wins were followed up with Villano III going to [[New Japan]] (back when this was considered a huge deal by the fans) to wrestle [[Tiger Mask]]. Actually, this was his second tour there. On [[September 3]] he challenged Tiger in Fukuoka for the [[WWF World Junior Heavyweight Title]], falling victim to the legendary Japanese flyer in only seven minutes. It was a hot match with very good action, though way too short. But they worked well together and some months later, in November, they had another match together at El Toreo. This one was longer and went three falls, but the result was the same.<br />
<br />
Him coming back from a Japan tour sealed the deal, and he now "officially" was a tecnico. It also helped that he was put in a team with [[El Solitario]] and [[Anibal]] (two of the biggest masked stars ever in Mexico) as his partners or "godfathers", named "Los Tres Caballeros" (The Three Gentlemen) with the gimmick of being super hero scientific masters who never cheated and defeated their enemies with grace, class and technique. In [[1984]] there was a second version of this team with [[Dos Caras]] replacing El Solitario.<br />
<br />
But now Villano III being a top tecnico meant that he was bound to feud with Perro Aguayo, the company's top singles light heavyweight rudo (and top overall rudo along with [[Canek]]). On [[March 20]], [[1983]], he captured the [[WWF World Light Heavyweight Title]] from Aguayo, building a bitter rivalry with the [[Zacatecas]] native. By August things had heated up so much that they had a three match series that did amazing business at the Naucalpan bullring. The 7th, Aguayo defeated V3 for the WWF LHW title. A week later, they faced in a super libre match, that ended up being a bloodfest. And the 21th, V3 defeated Aguayo in a mask vs. hair match.<br />
<br />
In [[1984]] he continued on the same road, drawing greatly for title matches against a variety of opponents, to the point the promotion considered him the MVP in their year end awards.<br />
<br />
Measuring who drew and who didn't at El Toreo is a very hard task. The promotion had access to a varied collection of native stars (both homemade stars and 60s and 70s legends who were still around) and foreign attractions ([[Tiger Mask]], [[Antonio Inoki|Inoki]], [[Andre the Giant|Andre]]...). They also had some of the fastest workers Mexico had ever seen until then, in people like [[Matematico]], [[Black Man]], [[Super Astro]] and other small guys who did things that had never been seen before and drew the "workrate" audience. The promotion could choose from, and I'm not exagerating here, a "pool" of 25 or 30 different wrestlers, put them in the main event, load up the rest of card and draw 10,000 to 12,000 easily.<br />
<br />
For instance, there was shows that were so loaded, that the man who is considered to be the biggest star from those days, Canek, would be in the third match of a five match card, and Ray Mendoza would be in the opener. It's a very clear case of a "promotional package" being the draw, rather than "individuals". However, you could see how the true draws would be in special matches and up the attendance to 14,000 or more for title matches, and 17,000 or more for hair or mask matches. And when Aguayo and Villano were on top against each other, the attendance always was visibly up from the average.<br />
<br />
The Aguayo-Villano feud carried on for most of the decade, and when at one point in 1988 they teamed together to feud and unmask the Black Power tag team (standard American rudo gimmick... one of them later was [[El Indomito]] a.k.a. [[Coco Amarillo]] from the AAA Payasos), it was a huge deal because the alliance was a true arch-rival dream team.<br />
<br />
Besides Aguayo, the other two biggest opponents for Villano in the 80s were [[Sangre Chicana]] and [[Rambo]].<br />
<br />
José Luis Mendienta was a really talented second generation wrestler with a good look, who had a nice run with EMLL in the late 70s. Even though he was given the [[National Middleweight Title]] (who had a lot of tradition as El Santo's title) and given big profile title defenses against major stars like Anibal and [[Enrique Vera]], he seemed to lack the charisma needed to be a top star and draw. The company had sort of given up on him and he pretty much disappeared, returning back home and working only in his home state of [[Sonora]], and sometimes in Arizona or Texas, until his friend [[Kahoz]] (formerly Astro Rey, who had been repackaged as a rudo with a weird and unique white mask with black details and yellow or white hair sticking out) convinced him to get a new gimmick, with the promise of a spot in El Toreo. He became Rambo, named after you know what movie, wearing military clothes and wearing either a dark green or a camouflage mask. Mendieta and Kahoz teamed with [[Cuchillo]], and later [[Zandokan]] (who had a masked pirate gimmick), as [[El Triangulo de la Muerte | "El Triangulo del Terror" (Triangle of Terror)/El Triangulo de la Muerte(Triangle of Death)]] and became one of the top old school rudo trios around the country. He eventually engaged in a feud with Villano over the masks, losing his' at El Toreo's "Lucha Libre birth" anniversary show on [[September 25]], [[1987]]. The match was heated, bloody, and got rave reviews as one of the best matches of the year.<br />
<br />
Chicana was one of the 5 major stars at Arena Mexico and Arena Coliseo, and a wild brawling rudo along the lines of [[Cavernario Galindo]] and Perro Aguayo, though probably a better worker than either. He had even represented EMLL at shows at El Toreo, and teaming with [[Cien Caras]] or [[Satanico]], and gone over major stars like Aguayo, Fishman and Canek. So, added to the curiosity of two major stars clashing, you had a little interpromotional flair. On [[August 14]], [[1989]], Chicana defeated Villano for the WWF LHW title, but after and before that match, both had battled all over the country, having great brawls and drawing nice numbers, especially in the Northern Circuit ([[Monterrey]] and [[Nuevo Laredo]]) working for [[Carlos Elizondo]], as Chicana was a huge star there. The only thing that this feud lacked to be remembered as one of Villano's high career points was a mask vs. hair match, but Chicana was too busy losing his hair to Aguayo for bigger payoffs (since the matches, even though not as good, were bloodier and the rivalry seemed more natural).<br />
<br />
The most remarkable feud he had during the last Toreo days was with [[Pegasus Kid]] ([[Chris Benoit]]) who is considered one of the best workers ever by practically everybody in the business. The masked Pegasus, now a WWE headliner with his real name, was a world nomad who would regularly work in Canada, Europe, Japan, the U.S. and Mexico. Benoit was put right away in a feud with Villano III, who he defeated on [[March 3]], [[1991]] at El Toreo for the WWF World Light Heavyweight Title.<br />
<br />
Thinking that it was not likely he'd come back, Pegasus lost his mask to Villano III on [[November 3]], [[1991]]. But Benoit liked wrestling at El Toreo, and he caused such a good impression with the office that they called him back some months later (he had other commitments in Japan) so they could revive the feud. Other remarkable Toreo bouts during the rivalry were the [[January 19]], [[1992]] dream match where Villano teamed with [[El Hijo del Santo]] to defeat Pegasus and [[Negro Casas]], and Pegasus retaining the WWF belt a week later in the main event of the "17th Anniversary Show" of the promotion. By the end of it, the feud had turned into a trios feud, as Villanos would face Pegasus and his team partners Los Cowboys ([[Silver King]] and [[Texano]]). It basically culminated on [[September 13]], [[1992]] when Arturo gained back his WWF title.<br />
<br />
Arturo was a top star and headliner at El Toreo until nearly its demise, but after Francisco Flores' death, booking and management got to bad that everybody who just stayed working there got lost in the shuffle: and that includes Dos Caras, Canek, Signo and Navarro (Texano was smart and/or lucky enough to get his career going in Japan teaming with Silver King). Some loyalists who were big (but not legendary) names and stayed until the end, never worked anywhere else at the same level again, like Enrique Vera. So Villano tried to keep his name fresh, working spot shows at Arena Mexico and Coliseo, and then jumping to [[AAA]] on January of [[1993]].<br />
<br />
In AAA, Villano always worked main events and semi-main events, except in rare occasions (like [[Triplemania]], where even Santo Jr. was in the first half of the card), and feuded with Rambo, this time building to a hair vs. mask match that was hold at Mexico City's [[Gimnasio Juan de la Barrera]], on [[September 24]], [[1993]]. As a weird trivia data, the two first Villano III vs. Rambo "lucha de apuestas" (there was a third one on June [[2001]] in Naucalpan, this one hair vs. hair) were main eventing shows that commemorated the "anniversary of Lucha Libre", which is another way of saying "the birth of EMLL", but neither match was on EMLL and instead happened in the company's direct competitor at the time.<br />
<br />
Soon after that match, Villano III quit because he was not happy with his push, and worked UWA again even though the place was a sinking ship and even drew a really sad 1,750 attendance for the January 1994 [[UWA]] Anniversary Show, headlined by Villanos 3 & 5 and [[Yamato (UWA)|Yamato]] (Tiger Chung Lee/Kim Duk) vs. Canek, [[Transformer]] (Kendo) and Gran Hamada, and with a rest of the card so uninteresting and not even worth of [[Arena Neza]] B-show status.<br />
<br />
The promotion, however, started co-promoting with AAA and it revitalized business when they held matches like Villano and Canek vs. [[Konnan]] and Perro Aguayo (drawing 7,500 at El Toreo on May 94), and popped up business again at Arena Neza, getting regular attendances of 3,000 when the interpromotional concept was on.<br />
<br />
But this relationship died off quickly, because the Toreo guys weren't "up to do business" (a few of the top wrestlers did not want to be jobbed out with "nothing in exchange" even though without the AAA guys, attendance would have been bad). So the Toreo promotion instead co-promoted with AAA's main rival, CMLL (formerly EMLL), that probably would be more open to "business", because they also needed the help. Villano worked a couple of shows for CMLL, but it was more of the same. UWA was practically dead and eventually ceased operations, not having a single show in January 95. Many of the guys jumped to CMLL, but as "CMLL guys" so to speak, not as "UWA guys". Others, like Villano III and his two younger brothers, jumped to AAA after a short stay in the ill-fated [[PROMELL]].<br />
<br />
PROMELL was the first time ever where the three younger sons of Ray Mendoza became a regular team, because during the whole Toreo run (except for some special matches, mostly during the 92-94 bad period) the team was Villanos I & IV & V, while III was positionited higher on the cards as a singles wrestler. The three brothers had teamed up quite often at El Toreo during [[1994]], but Villano III most of the time still was slotted in the cards higher than his brothers were.<br />
<br />
In AAA, the Villanos were positioned right into the main events, often teaming with Fishman as a symbolic "Team Toreo" (though never billed as such) against Santo, Konnan, Aguayo, and the other top main event tecnicos that Peña's promotion had to offer. They had a good run and some nice feuds and matches, but nothing like in the "glory days". During periods of time the team had no contiuity due to injuries, and that hurt them in the end, as they never really had the chance to have a stand-out feud during their AAA run. Their two major feuds were vs. [[Los Hermanos Dinamitas|Dinamitas]] and [[Los Payasos|Payasos]], and neither was impressive. And even though they were given the [[AAA Americas Trios titles]] (defeating the makeshift team of [[Heavy Metal]], [[Latin Lover]] and [[Cien Caras]] on [[March 8]], [[1996]] at [[Arena Neza]]), they left the promotion with the belts after having never defended them (even though they lated defended them in [[IWRG]]). They were also AAA Atomicos (eight men) champions with [[Pierroth Jr.]], with those belts suffering a similar fate.<br />
<br />
On January 96, the three brothers jumped to [[Promo Azteca]] with the promise of more money and a spot for the two younger brothers in [[WCW]], but this was even worse. Though the whole promotion was a mess and there's not a lot of good to remember from it. When his brothers left for the US on July of [[1997]], Arturo kept basically wandering around Promo, and teamed with them when they were back home in between working for WCW. And again, he did nothing there, because the promotion only seemed to throw together eight guys in a match, with no rhyme or reason. Even though each and every one of those main eventers was either a draw or a great worker (and sometimes both), the matches did not draw and most of the time were as terrible and disorganized as lucha libre can get.<br />
<br />
On July of [[1998]], Villano III joined CMLL. The month before that, he'd been on a long Japanese tour with [[FULL]], mostly working with CMLL talent. Villano's jump was something that back in the mid 80s nobody would have imagined, but since years had gone by, there was no major impact. He worked as a main event rudo as part of Pierroth's Boricuas stable, with [[Fuerza Guerrera]] and others.<br />
<br />
In a major shock, Villano III unmasked [[Super Astro]] on a 1999 Christmas card at the [[Auditorio de Tijuana]]. The news was quite a surprise both because there had been no major build up for a match of such magnitude between two of the 80s biggest Toreo stars, and because the actual match was [[Fishman ]]and [[Lizmark]] vs. Villano III and Super Astro in "relevos suicidas", and everybody was sure Fishman would be the one losing, as it was common knowledge he was willing to drop the mask for a big paycheck.<br />
<br />
During the Summer of [[1999]], Villano started his famous feud with [[Atlantis]]. The feud had been started around September of the previous year, but nothing happened at the time. There was a several months long build-up, featuring many matches around the [[CMLL World Light Heavyweight title]] that Atlantis had, and Villano eventually captured, as well as a hint of a mask vs. mask match on the company's 66th Anniversary Show on [[September 24]], [[1999]], where Atlantis and Villano III defeated [[Mr. Niebla]] and [[Shocker]] (with the latter finally dropping his mask).<br />
<br />
They eventually faced each other on [[March 17]], [[2000]] at Arena Mexico in a classic máscara contra máscara bout that Atlantis won, revealing Villano III to be Arturo Díaz Mendoza. The bout, which was the feature match for CMLL's first PPV event, sold out Arena Mexico and won WON's Match of the Year honors. The match had incredible drama and heat, and super work and psychology, as well as one of the best major match finishes in recent lucha libre history, and it truly is one of the 10 biggest mask vs. mask matches ever in Mexico.<br />
<br />
It's interesting to note that Villano III was originally thought to be losing his mask vs. [[Anibal]] in the late 80s, at the [[Monumental de Monterrey]] under Carlos Elizondo, but apparently, he was asking for a money sum out of this world, which reading between the lines tells us that he realized it was not the right time to lose the hood.<br />
<br />
Villano III's unmasking revealed a facially old and beaten up man, who resembled his father during his latest run at El Toreo. After a series of TV skits, where Villano, still a rudo, thanked the fans and his father for all the great moments in his career, a turn could be seen coming a mile away. Pierroth then "fired him" from the Boricuas as, for weeks, Villano refused to get involved in massive post-match tecnico beatings, even though he did not help either. So Boricuas eventually turned on him, with the claims he'd turned "soft". So we had Arturo debuting as a tecnico on [[April 28]] teaming with none other than his two former nemesis, Atlantis and Perro Aguayo, against Pierroth, Shocker and [[Mascara Año 2000]].<br />
<br />
This gave a new life to Arturo's career, and during the first months he had in fact came out as the major winner of the mask vs. mask match. Had a several months long feud with against Pierroth and Máscara 2000, teaming with Aguayo, and eventually taking out Jesús Reyes' hair in a cage match on [[August 4]].<br />
<br />
By this point Villano still was a good worker, but his skills were diminishing quickly due to age and all the injuries he'd suffered due to working a highly demanding style during decades. The family also suffered a major blow when the older brother, José de Jesus, who worked as Villano I, died on [[January 4]], [[2001]], with the cause of death being a brain hemorrhage. This was the third major loss in the family, after the deaths of mother Lupita in [[1986]], and the [[1989]] death of brother José Alfredo (Villano II), which was publicized as being due wrestling injuries but during years has been rumoured to have been a suicide.<br />
<br />
A few months after Ray Mendoza's death, The Villano family had a bitter departure from CMLL, citing their non existant push as the reason for it. During interviews, they claimed that they weren't even getting enough dates to sustain their families, so they became independent contractors. The brothers instead worked all over the Republic, even though they weren't such stars any longer, nor were they the superworkers they used to be, though the younger ones still are very competent wrestlers. Villano III can still work a good mat-based match, but due to age and injuries, he's lost his famous quickness and explosive timing.<br />
<br />
CMLL brought back [[Villano IV]] & [[Villano V]] in 2007, and III joined them to reunite trio. It initially appeared the younger Villanos had been brought back for mask matches with bigger CMLL stars as a last hurrah, but injuries delayed their feud plans. The Villanos continue to hang around CMLL, but are involved nothing of note.<br />
<br />
Villano III, sadly, looks like somebody who is overstaying his welcome, and would have put on a classier end to a fantastic career should have retired after a year or year and a half-long tour as an unmasked babyface. Villano III should announce his retirement and get a retirement cermony before his use to CMLL exhausts again, but he appears to be a guy who will continue wrestling until no one books him anymore.<br />
<br />
Villano III said have won about 140 mask and 100 hairs. He has only lost 2 matches, the mask vs Atlantis and his hair shaved vs LA Park. In february 2012 there is a program scheduled to celebrate his 40 years of wrestling. His 2 sons are going to make their debut in a demo olimpic wrestling<br />

Most of his career was working at Pavillón Azteca during 1980s. He was upper midcard and main eventer at Pavillón Azteca. His long career ended in 1986 due to an injury. He was trainer of luchadors such as [[Super Niño]], [[Al Rojo Vivo]], [[MS-1]], [[El Símbolo]], [[Marduk]] and more. He had a longtime feud with el [[Mercenario]]. Even if he could not reach a championship belt, he is remembered for his superb wrestling technique and good quality matches.<br />
<br />
In a biographical report for '''Lucha Libre de Ayer, Hoy y Siempre''' he said:<br />

== Biography == <br />
<font face="Verdana"><br />
<br />
<br />
There's a lot of mystery, especially for those English speakers that live outside of Mexico, surrounding the death, life and career of Villano II. He's seen by many as the unknown Villano. There's not a lot information of him around, but that's even in the Mexican media. This profile, is going to try to solvent that to a minor extent.<br />
<br />
Jose Díaz, better known as [[Ray Mendoza]], got married to Lupita Mendoza and they had a big family. Their children were José de Jesús ([[Villano I]]), José Alfredo ([[Villano II]], affectively known by close friends as "Pepe"), Arturo ([[Villano III]]), Rita Marina, Leonor, [[Villano V]], Lupita and [[Villano IV]], in that order.<br />
<br />
Wishing to be pro wrestlers like his father, the two older brothers started training with him and [[Bobby Bonales]], who actually did the workload since Ray was wrestling a full schedule. Both had a solid base behind to start training as both were accomplished amateurs, especially José Alfredo who always was involved in local tournaments and won several, one of them on July of [[1962]] defeating none other than [[Adolfo Bolanes Jr.]] in the finals. As a funny thing, that same day Arturo, or may I say Arturito, won the under 27 kilos (60 pounds) tournament by defeating a kid called [[Alfonso Moreno]] in the final match.<br />
<br />
José had his first rivalry against, of all people, [[Chavo Guerrero]], son of none other than the great [[Gory Guerrero]]. Both wrestlers were very green and in the first stage of their careers, but it was an interesting feud in the minor circuits because their fathers had been rivals at [[Arena Mexico]].<br />
<br />
The future Villano II and his older brother went through several names, including Las Bestias Negras and Los Bufalos Salvajes, until under advice of [[Jorge Allende]] and the original [[Fantasma de la Quebrada]] (not the AAA one) they changed to Los Villanos.<br />
<br />
The Villanos started making some noise at the arenas in Mexico State, outside Mexico City, especially Naucalpan which was considered to be their home base. They got their seasoning and eventually worked for [[EMLL]], mostly at [[Arena Coliseo]].<br />
<br />
Since by late [[1974]] the power heads in EMLL changed and Ray Mendoza was not too happy about that, the whole Mendoza-Villano family (at that point just Ray and the first three Villanos) left and moved onto the brand new [[UWA]] promotion where due to political reasons they all got a push to several degrees, though in all honestly they deserved and were more than ready for it and in fact they didn't deceive anyone.<br />
<br />
But the career of Villano II seemingly went unnoticed, as he disappeared without much of a reasoning ever being given, though actually it was due to some legal problem. He wrestled some here and there, when he had a chance, but died a very mysterious death on [[April 17]], [[1989]]. I believe the "official" cause of his death was the [[El Solitario|Solitario]] thing of dying because of his wrestling injuries, though he had actually fallen on a terrible depression and hung himself in his house in Naucalpan because of that.<br />
<br />
The death of José Alfonso left a very sad mark in the family, and we can see that looking at details like Villano I never being the same worker again (not to say he ever was bad, in fact he was always great) and even though he was involved full time with the UWA promotion and was training tons, and I mean tons, of young wrestlers in the [[Felipe Ham Lee|Ham Lee]] gym, there was talk that he was there only out of loyalty. And every time Villano III is having an interview and the subject of his deceased brother (or now brothers) pops up, he loses his voice and starts visibly crying.<br />
<br />
Villano II was a very good worker, as one may expect coming from that family. It is hard to rate the five brothers among themselves, because even though it's almost universally agreed that Villano III was in his good years the best worker and biggest star, all of them are so similar in style. But many times I have talked to people familiar with all five brothers and they have agreed with me that he was right in the middle of a brothers ranking. Though in all reality, as said before names are interchangeable because style and size is basically the same.<br />
<br />
To end this sad note with a funny curiosity, in his free time Villano II was a talented freelance artist.</font><br clear=all><br />

== Notes ==<br />
<br />
Brazo de Oro is ending his career. He's announced plans to retire on [[October 5|October 5th]], and has requested no special notice of this event. Most of his [[CMLL]] matches are in [[Arena Coliseo DF]], working a midlevel match or filling in for a tecnico who didn't show. He doesn't have the charisma of his brother [[Brazo de Plata]], but has been a solid worker.<br />
<br />
Brazo de Oro has held many behind the scenes roles during his career. Brazo de Oro is the head of the wrestler's union, continuing on that role during his retirement. Brazo de Oro's acknowledged son, [[La Mascara]], has received a strong push since his debut under that name, and it is speculated that Brazo de Oro's influence may contribute to his push, or at least explain the reasoning why Mascara's pushed and similar talented wrestlers are not.<br />
<br />
In [[2006]] it was confirmed that Brazo de Oro is indeed a member of the [[CMLL]] booking team and remains a member to this day. Previously, he was the booker for the Japan based [[UWF]] promotion. <br />

== Biography == <br />
<font face="Verdana"><br />
<br />
<br />
Villano I (José de Jesús Díaz Mendoza, some sources mix up the order of the surnames and have Mendoza Díaz which is wrong, as [[Ray Mendoza]] actually got the "Mendoza" part from his wife's name as he thought that it had a better sound for wrestling) was 49 years old, which is younger that one may expect, as Arturo himself is just a year younger.<br />
<br />
He died around 12:00 PM in his house, located at the Oriente St. 154, number 227, at the Delegación Venustiano Carranza of El Distrito Federal ([[Mexico City]]), while recovering from the brain surgery he had on [[December 13]], [[2000]] to fix a coagulum. He was doing fine and even though he had a relapse, he seemed to be alright now. He was happy, and was working hard to get into shape so he could have a retirement match at [[Arena Mexico]] teaming with his three brothers.<br />
<br />
The official cause of the death is a heart attack caused by a cerebral haemorrhage. Doctora Guadalupe Ramírez from the ambulance UM 536 of the urgencies squad confirmed the news.<br />
<br />
He's surivived by his widow, Delia Valero (who is the daughter of [[Héctor Valero Meré]], a legendary lucha magazine writer/owner of the past), his two daughters Alma Delia and Blanca Olivia, plus his brothers and father.<br />
<br />
His corpse was at the funerary Gayosso Sullivan until today ([[January 5|5th of January]]) around 12:15 PM when they carried him to the Panteón Francés de San Joaquín. Dozens of wrestlers (including [[Los Brazos]], [[Perro Aguayo]], [[Cien Caras]], [[Universo 2000]], [[Mascara Magica]], [[Fantasma]], [[El Signo]], [[Felino]] and [[Ringo Mendoza]]) attended the funerary services and were there to say the last goodbye to their good friend. As requested by the family, he was buried with his mask on and wearing his Villano cape with the [[UWA]] logo.<br />
<br />
This is quite ironic, but yesterday ([[January 4|4th of Jan.]], [[2001]]), Ray and the other three Villanos gave an speech at the Hospital Obregón (located at Colonia Roma) about the risks of the sport, after [[Villano V]] had had successful knee surgery there a day before. They also spoke about Villano I's brain surgery as a side-effect of the years of head bumps in the ring. When they arrived home, they were told the bad news. They apparently had plans to film a TV documentary about the risks of lucha (Ray and the Villano's have suffered TONS of career threatening injuries), but I don't know if those plans will still go on.<br />
<br />
The Villanos I and [[Villano II|II]] started trained together in [[1961]] with [[Bobby Bonales]] at different venues in the districts of La Lagunilla and Tepito. During his youth, Villano I studied at the Escuela Superior de Educacion Fisica (Physical Education High School) and got a degree. He eventually became a P.E. teacher there too.<br />
<br />
Villano wanted to be a part of the wrestling team for the Mexico '68 Olympics, but he couldn't get into the team so he and V-2 turned pro during sometime the first three months of [[1969]]. Apparently Ray didn't want them to become wrestlers unless they had a degree, so they wrestled as the masked Bestias Negras I/II (Black Beasts) without their father knowing. Now I don't know if I should believe this history of them being wrestlers and their father not knowing, however all the Villano wrestlers have degrees.<br />
<br />
Anyway, he also wrestled as Toro Bill (Bill the Bull) and El Villano, until at some point during late-[[1970|70]] or early-[[1971|71]] when they finally switched to Los Villanos I and II. At the start they mainly wrestled out of [[Naucalpan]] until they signed with [[EMLL]] where they competed mostly at the [[Arena Coliseo]] and became [[Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship|Arena Coliseo Tag Team champions]].<br />
<br />
All the Mendoza's departed to the newly created [[UWA]] in [[1975]] where the Villanos, especially [[Villano III]], became big stars. During the "trios" boom in the early 80s there wasn't a regular Villano trio though, as Villano II "disappeared" and Villano III was a singles star. Villano I mostly teamed with his father in tag team competition until [[Villano IV]] started to wrestle with that name in early [[1983]]. They were [[El Toreo]] regulars, but mostly competed the undercard (with the huge amount of talent and foreign imports they had, it wasn't uncommon to see [[El Hijo del Santo]] or Los Villanos in the first or second match of the night).<br />
<br />
The only major singles title he had during his career was the [[UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship|UWA World Light Heavyweight title]] he captured on [[August 10]], [[1986]] defeating [[Fishman]] at El Toreo. He lost the title on [[January 17]] of the following year in the same place to [[Loco Zandokan]] (the original one, not the current one who is his brother [[Huichol]]). During his career he also won several masks, the most important being the ones of [[El Cóndor]], [[Scorpio|Scorpio Sr.]], and [[Los Brazos]] ([[El Brazo]], [[Brazo de Oro]] and [[Brazo de Plata]]).<br />
<br />
After the death of his brother in [[1989]], he lost his heart about lucha, though he still was an active wrestler because he was a company man and the UWA needed him. However, he didn't wrestle a full time schedule and spent a lot of time as a P.E. teacher, and as an amateur wrestling teacher in a lot of gyms, like the Arena Toluca gym, Deportivo Oceanía, Centro Social de Aragón, and especially the Baños Gloria gym at the Tepito district. Most of the new talent of the early 90s in the UWA, was indeed trained by the Villanos.<br />
<br />
When the UWA fell apart, Villano I went into semi-retirement though from time to time he appeared at a few small shows here and there.<br />
