About Ángel Blanco

Lived 1938 – 1986 (aged 47). Ángel Blanco was a Mexican professional wrestler.

La Ola Blanca In early 1966 Ángel Blanco began teaming with another white clad wrestler, Dr. Wagner to form the team La Ola Blanca ("The White Wave"). La Ola Blanca began headlining cards all over Mexico, drawing full crowds whenever they faced the top local talent. In late 1969 the team won a several weeks long tag team tournament to earn a shot at the Mexican National Tag Team Championship held by El Santo and Rayo de Jalisco, a team that was virtually unbeatable up until that point in time. La Ola Blanca defeated Santo and Rayo in three very closely contested falls to take the championship. The team were voted Box y Lucha magazine's "Tag Team of the year" in 1966 and again in 1967. Early on in their career La Ola Blanco became a trio when they added El Enfermero but the trio did not last long as El Enfermero was too old to keep up with the intensity of Wagner and Ángel Blanco. On November 13, 1983, Ángel Blanco became the inaugural Mexican National Cruiserweight Champion when he defeated El Insólito in the finals of a 16-man tournament.
