Profile:

The son of former wrestler, Pepe Casas, Negro debuted in March, 1979. He won his first gold in January, 1984, defeating Black Terry to capture the UWA Lightweight Title. Perhaps his greatest ever match came against Santo in Los Angeles in July, 1987, Casas losing his locks in an epic Hair vs. Mask Match. He made his first trip to Japan in March, 1990, competing for Gran Hamada's UWF promotion and feuding with Yoshihiro Asai (Ultimo Dragon) while there. He made his first appearance for New Japan in December, 1990, developing a rivalry with Jushin Thunder Liger. He moved to the CMLL promotion in Mexico in June, 1992, where he has reigned as a top star for years and is a high ranking matchmaker. This lucha legend also runs his own wrestling school in Mexico named Groupo Cibernetico.
