Bio

Felino is an uppercard tecnico in CMLL. He's not pushed as strongly as his two brothers, Negro Casas and Heavy Metal, but is used as a veteran who can go with the younger wrestlers lower on the card.

In that role, Felino held the National Trios Titles with Volador Jr. and Safari, and defended in against midcard rudos often. They held the belts thru 2004, and did a good job of raising the value of the championship after it had been vacant for months. Felino most recent CMLL World Welterweight Title reign wasn't as successful, with few high profile defenses. As of June 2006, he's seeking a match for the title against, versus current champion Mephisto.

Felino has at least subtly acknowledged his relationship to his son, IWRG's Kid Tiger, by wearing Kid Tiger tights on at least one occasion although at the time they pretended that Kid Tiger was a nephew and not a son.

In the middle of 2008, Felino became a rudo to join his brothers and Mr. Niebla in La Peste Negra. Felino changed his look, and his wife Princesa Blanca turned as well.

In an interview, it was revealed that Puma King and Tiger Kid are not Felino´s son, but part of the family from other brothers or sisters. The kids explained they have cat characters because they're fans of Felino. The whole family kept the charade going until the June 7th SuperLuchas (#367), where Felino revealed what many had suspected: he was Puma and Tiger's father. Felino had been keeping it quiet so the boys would succeed or fail on their own merits, not because they were "Felino Jr." and "Hijo de Felino".
