Apocalipsis

Juan Carlos Contreras Uribe (born January 16, 1975), better known by his ring name Apocalipsis, is a Mexican professional wrestler, who works for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). He previously worked under the ring name El Koreano.

Professional wrestling career Juan Contreras made his professional wrestling debut on February 11, 2000, after training under Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) wrestling trainers Tony Salazar and Jose Luis Feliciano. Sangre Azteca soon became the leader of the group, that besides El Koreano, also included Ramstein, Hooligan, Nitro, Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max and Doctor X. In June 2005, Contreras wrestled his last match under the "El Koreano" name.

Apocalipsis (2005–present) A month later, Contreras made his debut as the enmascarado ("masked wrestler") character "Apocalipsis" (Spanish for "Apocalypse"), a character not associated with Pandilla Guerrera at all, with CMLL not publicly acknowledging that it was Contreras under the mask. He made his debut as Apocalipsis as part of the 2005 Gran Alternativa tournament, where a novato (or rookie), teamed up with a veteran for a tag team tournament. As Apocalipsis, he teamed up with Damian 666 for the tournament. The tournament was held on July 1, 2005, and featured a battle royal between the eight rookies to determine the seeding for the tournament. Doctor X won the battle royal to earn the top seed for Universo 2000 and himself. The order of elimination in the battle royal was: #1 El Texano Jr., #2 Nitro, #3 Apocalipsis, #4 Máximo, #5 Sangre Azteca, #6 La Máscara, #7 Misterioso Jr. The team lost to eventual tournament winners La Máscara and Atlantis in the first round of the tournament. A few weeks later, Apocalipsis was one of 8 wrestlers in a torneo cibernetico elimination match that was part of CMLL's G1 Junior Climax tournament. Apocalipsis was eliminated early in as La Máscara won the match. Originally the focus of the storyline was on the conflicts between Los Rayos and Dragon Lee, playing off Los Rayos feeling that Dragon Lee was an arrogant rookie who had not "paid his due", but when Dragon Lee was injured, plans had to be changed. After playing a supporting character in the "Veterans vs. Generacion 2011" storyline, Apocalipsis continued to work as a low-card rudo worker whose primary purpose is to help rookie tecnicos gain in-ring experience.
