Atlantis (wrestler)
Atlantis (born September 28, 1962) is a Mexican professional wrestler, working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) where he performs as a técnico (face or "good guy" character) and is one of the longest-tenured wrestlers in CMLL history. Atlantis was trained by Diablo Velasco, made his in-ring debut in 1983 and has always wrestled under the ring name Atlantis, named after the sunken city of Atlantis. Atlantis has held a large number of professional wrestling championships over the years, both in Mexico and in Japan, both individually and as a tag team. He has also won the mask of several prominent wrestlers through his career including Kung Fu, Villano III, Último Guerrero and La Sombra.
Atlantis earned the nickname El idolo de los Niños (the "Children's Idol") as he was always a favorite with the younger fans. He even retained the nickname when he worked as a rudo (heel or "bad guy" character) for several years. Atlantis's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. In the 1990s Atlantis starred in a couple of lucha films, including one in which he costarred with the celebrated wrestler Octagón: Octagón y Atlantis, la revancha ("Octagón and Atlantis, the rematch").
Atlantis made his professional wrestling debut on June 12, 1983, after training under world-renowned Mexican wrestling trainer Diablo Velazco for under a year. He adopted the masked ring persona of "Atlantis", a supposed warrior from the lost city of Atlantis, complete with a mask that had the image of two fish on it. After working for various Mexican promotions during his debut year, Atlantis became a regular for Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL), Mexico's oldest professional wrestling promotion. On November 30, 1984, Atlantis defeated Jerry Estrada to win the Mexican National Middleweight Championship, the first wrestling title of his career, holding it for 457 days until losing it to Talismán on March 2, 1986.
By 1988, he had formed a regular tag team with Ángel Azteca; on March 6, the duo defeated Los Infernales (Masakre and MS-1) to win the Mexican National Tag Team Championship. Three months later Atlantis became a double champion when he defeated Kung Fu to win the NWA World Middleweight Championship, the highest championship in the middleweight division; his 37 day reign ended when he lost to Emilio Charles Jr. in his first defense. He quickly regained the title from Charles Jr. on July 20, holding it for two weeks before losing the title back to Charles Jr. On May 25, 1990, after an 811-day reign, Atlantis and Azteca lost the Mexican Nation Tag Team Championship to Pierroth Jr. and Bestia Salvaje. The loss of the title was used as a storyline motivation for Azteca turning rudo (villain or heel) by attacking Atlantis. The feud between the two continued off and on over the years until Azteca's death in 2007; they remained close friends backstage.
Atlantis was one of the key figures in the "rebranding" of the EMLL to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) in 1990. In 1991, Atlantis starred in a movie called La Fuerza Bruta ("The Brute Power") and soon after began filming another movie where he teamed up with Octagón called Octagón y Atlantis, la revancha ("Octagón and Atlantis, the revenge") that opened in 1992. On April 4, 1991, Atlantis, Octagón, and Máscara Sagrada, a team nicknamed "Los Movie Stars" defeated Los Thundercats (Leono, Panthro, and Tigro, a team of masked wrestlers patterned on the Thundercats cartoon) to win the Mexican National Trios Championship. The trio held the title for 94 days before losing it to Los Hermanos Dinamita (Cien Caras, Máscara Año 2000 and Universo 2000) on August 11. Not long after the title loss, Octagón and Máscara Sagrada left CMLL for the recently formed Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) promotion, jumping ship before the "Atlantis y Octagón" movie opened in theaters. Atlantis was also offered a contract by AAA, but chose to stay with CMLL.
On March 3, 1993, Atlantis lost the NWA World Middleweight title to Mano Negra, as part of a long-running storyline between the two. It culminated with Atlantis unmasking Mano Negra by defeating him in a Lucha de Apuesta (bet match) in the main event of CMLL's 60th Anniversary Show. On March 2, 1994, Atlantis defeated Dr. Wagner Jr. to win the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship, which he held for 655 days, officially moving from the Middleweight to the light heavyweight division. In 1995, he began frequently teaming with his recently debuting brother Atlantico, losing to Wagner Jr. and Astro Rey Jr. in the second round of the second annual Gran Alternativa tournament. On November 3, Atlantis and Rayo de Jalisco Jr. won the CMLL World Tag Team Championship from The Headhunters. Despite them losing the title in August 1996, Atlantis and new partner Lizmark won the titles back from La Ola Blanca (Spanish for "the White Wave"; Gran Markus Jr. and El Hijo del Gladiador), holding them for 12 days before they were vacated following an inconclusive match with the Headhunters.
In 1997, they were joined by Mr. Niebla to form La Ola Azur ("The Blue Wave"), a reference to the fact that all three wrestlers mainly wore blue. La Ola Azur won the CMLL World Trios Championship from Rey Bucanero, Emilio Charles Jr. and El Satánico, defending it for over 500 days until October 1998, when an injury to Mr. Niebla forced the team to give up the title. On May 10, 1999, Atlantis defeated Wagner Jr. to become only the second man to ever hold the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship twice. Over the next 196 days Atlantis' CMLL World Light Heavyweight title defenses headlined several shows in Mexico City before he lost the title to Villano III on November 22, 1999. The title change was just one of the highlights of a long-running feud between Atlantis and Villano III, which also included III's younger brothers Villano IV and Villano V. On March 17, 2000, at CMLL's Juicio Final event, Atlantis won his biggest Apuesta victory to date as he defeated and then unmasked Villano III in a match that was voted the Wrestling Observer's 2000 Match of the Year. On June 16, 2002, Atlantis, Mr. Niebla, and Black Warrior defeated Blue Panther, Fuerza Guerrera and Wagner Jr. to win the CMLL World Trios title, a title the team held for 278 days. In 2003, Atlantis travelled to Japan to work for Michinoku Pro, where he won the Tohoku Junior Heavyweight Championship from Dick Togo on August 26, 2003, before losing it on March 28, 2004 to The Great Sasuke, returning the belt to Japan. On June 25, Atlantis and Blue Panther defeated Los Guerreros del Infierno ("The Warriors of Hell"; Último Guerrero and Rey Bucanero) to win the CMLL World Tag Team Championship. By this time, Atlantis' role as a career tecnico (face or "good guy" character) was stagnating, leading to Atlantis turning on Panther during a match and ending their 280-day reign with the titles, turning rudo for the first time in his career.
The rudo Atlantis joined up with Los Guerreros del Infierno, renaming the group Los Guerreros de la Atlantida (The Warriors of the Atlantis) out of respect for their new co-leader. Shortly after his turn, Atlantis won the 2005 International Gran Prix by eliminating Rey Bucanero and Perro Aguayo Jr. to be the only survivor in the match. Soon after, he defeated Dr. Wagner Jr. to win the NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship. 2005 turned out to be Atlantis' strongest and most successful year as he also won that year's Leyenda de Plata tournament, as well as teaming up with La Máscara to win the 2005 Gran Alternativa. On September 29, 2009, Los Guerrero de la Atlantida won the vacant CMLL World Trios Championship by defeating Perro Aguayo Jr., Héctor Garza and Shocker in a tournament final. On November 2, Atlantis won his fourth CMLL World Tag Team title, this time teaming with Último Guerrero to defeat Místico and Negro Casas for the championship. Later in the year, it was rumored that Los Guerreros de la Atlantida had split up, but these rumors were debunked when Atlantis and Último Guerrero teamed up on CMLL's Sin Salida show.
