Sensei (born September 16, 1978) is a Mexicanluchadorenmascarado, or maskedprofessional wrestler, working forConsejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). He previously worked forInternational Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) asFantasy where he won several titles. Sensei's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans.[3]
Initially the wrestler who would later work as Sensei used thering nameKundalini when he made his debut in 1995. He was one of the first wrestlers to work forInternational Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) when it formed in 1996. In IWRG he was given the nameFantasy along with a colorful outfit andmask.[2] In 1999 Fantasy went toToryumon Mexico to participate in the Young Dragons Cup, but in the first round he lost toYasushi Kanda. The year 2000 became his break-out year as he teamed withBlack Dragon to reach the finals of a tournament to crown the first everIWRG Intercontinental Tag Team Champions but lost to Yasushi Kanda andSusumu Mochizuki on January 2, 2000. Two months later Fantasy teamed withStarboy to defeat Kanda and Mochizuki to win the tag team championship.[4] Fantasy and Star Boy lost the tag team titles toLos Megas (Mega andUltra Mega) in October, 2000 but regained them a year later.[5] The team lost the titles toLos Megas once again and then split up in 2002.[6] Fantasy quickly found singles success as he defeatedCerebro Negro for theIWRG Intercontinental Welterweight Championship on October 27, 2002.[6] On November 3, 2002, Fantasy lost aLuchas de Apuesta toEl Hijo del Diablo and was forced to unmask per Lucha libre tradition.[2] Fantasy held the Welterweight title for 301 days before losing it back to Cerebro Negro on August 24, 2003. In 2004 Fantasy competed in and won IWRG's annualRey del Ring (a multi-man battle royal similar to theRoyal Rumble); with the win he also won theIWRG Intercontinental Middleweight Championship that had been vacant up until that time.[7] Fantasy held the title for 70 days before losing it to Cerebro Negro.[7]
In 2005 Fantasy left IWRG and joinedConsejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), changed his gimmick toSensei and made his debut on June 15, 2005.[1] In 2008 Sensei teamed withNeutron to participate in the CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Title Tournament. In the first round they lost toNitro andSkandalo. Sensei still work for CMLL, but has not found the success he had in IWRG as he still wrestles in the low card matches, unlike IWRG where he worked the mid-card matches. Ángel de Plata was one of 12 men who put their masks on the line as part of a 12-mansteel cage match in the main event of the 2010Infierno en el Ring.He was the fourth man overall to escape from the cage, keeping his mask safe. In the endÁngel de Oro defeated Fabián el Gitano in theLucha de Apueta (bet match) portion of the match to unmask him.[8] On November 28, 2012, Sensei won both the Intermediate category and the overall category in CMLL's annualBodybuilding contest.[9] In March 2013 Sensei was one of 18 wrestlers who competed in the annualTorneo Sangre Nueva ("New Blood Tournament"), a tournament for primarily for young wrestlers but also included the 18-year veteran Sensei. He competed in qualifying block B on March 5, 2013, for a place in the finals, the other wrestlers in Block B included Genesis,Robin,Oro, Jr.,Super Halcón Jr.,Disturbio,Guerrero Negro, Jr.,Inquisidor,Taurus andZayco who competed in atorneo cibernetico, multi-man elimination match. Sensei eliminated Inquisidor but was eliminated himself by finalist Taurus.[10] In late March, 2013 Sensei was announced as one of theNovatos, or rookies, in the 2013Torneo Gran Alternativa, or "Great Alternative tournament". TheGran Alternativa pairs a rookie with an experienced wrestler for atag team tournament. In Sensei's case the "rookie" aspect of the tournament was ignore as he was part of theNovato group[11] Sensei was teamed up withRush, who was actually less experienced than Sensei. The team competed in Block B that took place on the April 19, 2013Super Viernes show. The team defeatedEl Cholo andRey Bucanero in the first round, but lost toSoberano Jr. andLa Sombra in the second round to be eliminated from the tournament.[12]
