Apolo Dantés

Professional wrestling career Amezuca trained for his professional wrestling career under his father, his uncle Alberto Muñoz, and renowned Lucha libre trainier Diablo Velazco. Dantés lost the title to Rayo de Jalisco Jr. on April 14, 1996. A year later he made it all the way to the finals of the 1998 version of the Gran Prix and defeated Rayo de Jalisco Jr to win the tournament. In 2003 Apolo Dantés last in-ring highlight saw him earn a match for the CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Mr. Niebla but was defeated in three falls. In his first match, which was taped on November 16, 1998, Dantés defeated El Merenguero. His last Super Astros match took place on May 25, 1999, where he defeated Funaki. In his last match for the WWF, he, Pantera, and Papi Chulo lost to Los Boricuas (El Merenguero, José Estrada Jr., and Miguel Pérez Jr.) in match that took place before WWF's Shotgun Saturday Night show. Following his dismissal from Arena Coliseo Dantés formed his own wrestling school and promotion called "Dantés' Lucha Factory", based in Guadalajara, Jalisco. Apolo Dantés owned and operated the Dantés Lucha Factory from 2009 until 2011, at which point his brother César took ownership the company, as Apolo replaced Soria to become the CMLL Guadalajara booker once more when Soria retired. By 2015 Dantés was once again replaced as the booker for CMLL. Since Dantés began working more behind the scenes he has only wrestled on a very limited schedule, with records of one match in 2011, 2013 & 2016, with his last known matches being a short spurt in early 2017.

Other media Amezcua was one of several wrestlers interviewed for the documentary "50", chronicling the first 50 years of Arena Coliseo in Guadalajara, Jalisco.
