Notes
By the end of 1970s and early 1980s the Mexican Lucha libre had its own Yoko Ono. Her real name was Martha Flores Tapia, who was born on August 21, 1963 in Veracruz. She was trained by Antonio Cruz, until her debut on 1978.
Antonio Cruz saw in Martha certain resemblance with Yoko Ono for this reason he named her after the Japanese artist. Sometime after Yoko began her career, she married with Antonio Cruz and had a child.
They moved to Guadalajara. Besides of Lucha Libre, Antonio Cruz worked at a gas station where he unfortunately, he was murdered. Yoko Ono continued wrestling and attending a beauty salon in Guadalajara. Along with her two brothers opened a bakery but it did not work.
One of the biggest goals of Yoko was wrestling at El Toreo de Cuatro Caminos, the favorite venue of all independent wrestlers. Yoko Ono wrestled as tecnica.
In an interview for Box y Lucha Magazine (August 17, 1984) Yoko stated that she also trained with Diablo Velazco at some point. Her most difficult match was against Las Viudas Negras, her best match was against Teresa Hernández Andrade, La Esclava, and her worst match was her debut, due to her nerves.
Although Yoko Ono worked for a while in Promociones Mora, little ia known about what was her fate in lucha libre and when and where she retired.
