Historia

Victor Gabriel Peralta was born on May 6 in Xalapa, Veracruz. Trained by Chucho Monroy. His early days in lucha libre were difficult, but with his mat skills and agility earned the respect of fellow wrestlers. Began masked under the name of Electro Fog (sometimes mispelled as Electro Foco) he lost that mask agaisnt Full Contact. After his mask loss he went under several gimmicks such as Piel Canela, Chivo Pérez, one of Los Galgos, and Sr. Misterio. His most recognizable gimmick was as Gabriel o Gabriela, that name and exotico concept was given by El Tiranes. The Gabriel o Gabriela persona was seemly based on Ed Wood's film Glen or Glenda. Curiously Gabriel and Glen start with G. As the unmasked exotico made his debut in AAA during 2002 and resulted as a success as part of the exotico stable. After his AAA stint he went back to the independent circuit.

Had Rosa Salvaje (Saúl Salas) as his padrino, and his biggest rival was El Perro Mocho but beyond the ring they were best friends. At some point in his career was a distinguished referee nicknamed el Tallarín (due to his slim complexion) endorsed by the H. Comisión de Lucha Libre. His career spanned for 38 years.

Victor Gabriel had a fast food stand at Mercado Jáuregui attended by his mother and he helped. Outside his exótico gimmick he was married and had children. Unfortunately, Victor Gabriel was hospitalized, having elevated costs hard to cover up, it was published that he had Covid-19. Victor Gabriel Peralta passed away on July 17, 2020.
