Vangelis (wrestler)

Vangelis, sometimes spelled Vangellys (born September 7, 1981) is the ring name of a Mexican luchador, or masked professional wrestler, currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) portraying a rudo ("bad guy") wrestling character. He has formerly worked for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) in Mexico and Dragon Gate in Japan. Also, Vangelis is the winner of the 2013 En Busca de un Ídolo tournament.

Professional wrestling career

Vangelis trained under El Torero, Dick Angelo and Huracán González before making his professional wrestling debut in 1999

Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (1999–2004, 2006)

He quickly began working for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), training at their school while only occasionally wrestling on their television shows. Vangelis was teamed up with Jimmy Boy and Billy to form a boy band inspired group called Los Spice Boys. At Triplemanía VII Jimmy Boy, Billy and Vangelis defeated Los Payasos (Coco Amarillo, Coco Rojo and Coco Verde) in one of the undercard matches. At the 2000 Guerra de Titanes event Los Spice Boys lost to Los Vatos Locos (Espiritu, Nygma, Picudo and Silver Cat). In 2001 Vangelis was given a new ring character, that of a Nazi soldier, complete with swastika armband and the Nazi salute that naturally made him a rudo, a heel or bad guy character. Vangelis formed a group known as Los Warriors along with Kevin (a sailor), Brandon (Aztec Warrior) and Uri (Viking) although Uri only worked with the group for a few months. Los Warriors had a long running storyline feud against Los Barrio Boys, former partners Billy Boy and Alan (Jimmy Boy using a new name) as well as Decnis. The feud between the two factions saw Vangelis win his first ever Luchas de Apuestas, or bet match, when he defeated Alan in a Steel cage match that involved all members of Los Warriors and Los Barrio Boys.
