Atlantis is a Mexican masked wrestler (masked professional wrestler), working for World Council of Wrestling (CMLL) where he performs as a Technician (face or "good guy" character). Atlantis was trained by Diablo Velasco, made his in-ring debut in 1983 and has always wrestled under the ring name Atlantis, named after the sunken city of Atlantis. Atlantis has held a large number of professional wrestling championships over the years, both in Mexico and in Japan, both individually and as a tag team. I've also won the mask of several prominent wrestlers through his career including Kung Fu, Villano III, Ultimate Warrior and The Shadow. Atlantis earned the nickname The idol of the Children (The idol of the children) as I was always a favorite with the younger fans. I have even retained the nickname when he worked as a Rudo (a wrestler who portrays the bad guy) for several years. Atlantis' 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. In the 1990s Atlantis starred in a couple of Struggle films, including one where he teamed up with Octagón called Octagón and Atlantis, la revancha ("Octagón and Atlantis, the revenge").
