Aigle Blanc is a French masked professional wrestler who is primarily known for his work in the German professional wrestling promotion Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw) where he is a former wXw World Tag Team Champion. He is also known for his various tenures with promotions from the European independent scene. [3] A masked wrestler, Aigle Blanc's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Lucha Libre where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. Aigle Blanc means "White Eagle" in French, which is reflected in several white eagles both on his mask and his gimmick.
