Profile
A remarkable unknown wrestler, given he lost his mask in 1978's EMLL Anniversary show. A bio explains his lack of Mexican history: he was actually a Guatemalan luchador who feuded with Mexicans when they came into his country and wrestled slightly in Mexico earlier in his career. He traveled to Colombia in 1972 for a promotion run by Tigre Colombiano and was based there for a few years. That promotion started bringing in Mexicans (like Babe Face) which helped build his image and get him into Mexico. Dr. Wagner eventually recommended him to EMLL and Salvador Lutteroth, who brought him in to the promotion in 1977. He became the second Guatemalan wrestler to wrestle in Arena Mexico, following Jose Azzari. He returned in 1978, under the Dragon Rojo name and impressed, leading to his mask match with Sangre Chicana at the 45th Anniversary show.
Dragon Rojo Jr. was billed as the grandson of this Dragon Rojo to explain his name change from Diamante Negro, which also happened to tie in to a pre-produced animated movie. Negro/Rojo had noted at other times that he'd make in to CMLL without any family connections, and it's believed the grandfather/grandson relationship is a worked one.
