Notes
After a mostly forgettable tecnico period - big push to start, but got lost in the shuffle - Black Warrior returned to the rudo side in 2006. Warrior, at least under that name, had much more career success as a rudo, and actually stepped out of character and requested the promotion allow him to go rudo in the pages of the Box Y Lucha magazine in 2005.
Warrior turned rudo after two failed chances at the Averno's & Mephisto's CMLL World Tag Team Championship with partner Mistico early in 2006. In the first match, Mistico accidently collided with Black Warrior on a dive in the third fall of the match, causing Warrior to get eliminated. Warrior was still angry about that weeks later, during the second title match, and ended up snapping on Mistico during the match, costing his team the match.
Black Warrior was able to snatch the NWA World Middleweight Championship from Mistico (on the second try). They would feud for the better part of a year, culminating in a mask vs mask match. At the CMLL 73rd Anniversary show, in Septermber 2006, Black Warrior would lose his mask to Mistico.
Black Warrior's signature bullet tope - fast and hard - is as self-identifying as any move in CMLL. Everyone does topes, but Warrior clearly has the best. The rest of Warrior's work is inconsistent as best; he seems to be a fine trios wrestlers, but has problems keeping the story of a singles match together.
Warrior was CMLL World Trios Champion twice as a tecnico, but neither reign had much value. The Leyenda de Plata win was part of his tecnico turn, but the final was a disappiontment. The NWA World Middleweight Championship reign is still too new to tell, but the program with Mistico has main evented cards and a mask match would be a big event.
Black Warrior claimed to be born in 1971 at the time of his unmasking.
