Misterioso

Roberto Castillo (born May 26, 1966) is an American professional wrestler working on the independent circuit in Mexico and Southern California under the ring name Misterioso (Mysterious). Together with Volador, Misterioso formed one of the most popular and talented teams in Mexico in the early to mid-1990s.

Biography Castillo was born in Los Angeles in 1966, son of Mexican emigrants. Growing up he was a big fan of the Lucha libre movies starring El Santo, Blue Demon and Mil Mascaras. When he was old enough he joined the Marine Corps. On August 29, 1993, Misterioso defeated Huichol to become the first ever IWC World Middleweight Championship. Triplemanía II-B saw the trio defeat Volador, Rey Misterio, Jr. and Rey Misterio. and finally at Triplemanía II-C Volador teamed with Tinieblas, Jr. and Lizmark, Jr. to finally gain a victory over Misterioso as he teamed up with Love Machine and Miguel Pérez, Jr. During this time Misterioso became a part of Los Gringos Locos, filling in when members wrestled in Japan. On November 27, 1994, Misterioso lost the IWC Middleweight title to Rey Misterio, Jr. The storyline between Misterioso and Volador played out over a long period of time, culminating in a Lucha de Apuesta match on July 15, 1995, where both men put their masks on the line. The event drew a crowd of 16,000 people to El Torero de Tijuana for a very profitable show. During the match Misterioso's cornerman Blue Panther attempted to injure Volador (in storyline terms) with a Martinete (piledriver). Misterioso came to the aid of his former friend, saving him from Blue Panther but ended up knocked out by a chair shot to the head. Out of respect for his former partner and in appreciation of what he had just done Volador dragged the unconscious Misterioso on top of himself and allowed the referee to count to three. Following the match Misteriosos pleaded with Volador not to remove the mask but Volador was a man of his word and unmasked.
