El Coyote (born November 1, 1997, in Villa Mainero, Tamaulipas [2] ) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado , 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. His 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. [1]

Contents

His ring name, El Coyote, is inspired by an incident when he was a kid, when at his grandparents' ranch, he witnessed a coyote ate his grandmother's chickens. [3] [4]

Career

Born in Villa Mainero, close to Ciudad Madero in northeastern Mexico, Coyote started his wrestling career in 2010, at 12 years old. [5] As a kid, he also played football, basketball and volleyball and describes himself as a very restless, mischievous kid. [4] Initially when he got in through wrestling, through his first professor Mr. Lince, he was working under the ring name Antaris, as a tecnico ("Good guy") character [2] [5] in Monterrey, Nuevo León where his trainer was based, as well as in his home state of Tamaulipas. [3] He knew from the beginning that he wanted to perform as a heel, and thus switched his ring name to El Coyote during 2012. [6] In 2013, he left for Mexico City to pursue his dream of becoming a professional. In interviews he stated he initially didn't know anyone and spent several days staying overnight outside the subway and not having money to eat. [3]

Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (2016–present)

Eventually he would start training at Arena Mexico under Tony Salazar and Arkángel de la Muerte. [3] [4] He graduated from the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre school on a Sunday show August 2016 [7] and started working regularly for the promotion in the opening matches. [2] [8] Right after his debut, he suffered a serious forearm injury, that kept him out of wrestling for most of late 2016 and early 2017. [3] [8] During late 2020 and 2021 he rose up in the rankings from an opening match wrestler to a midcard performer. [8]

On Christmas Day 2021, El Coyote together with Euforia won the CMLL Torneo Gran Alternativa, an annual tag team-tournament where a rookie teams up with a more experienced wrestler. In the finals, they defeated Atlantis Jr. and Sangre Imperial to claim the trophy. [9] [10]

In 2023, he forms part of the group Los Chacales Del Ring with Pólvora and Shigeo Okumura with the ambition of challenging for the Mexican National Trios Championship. [11] He has also worked singles matches with the likes of Audaz, Magia Blanca and Fuego to name a few. [8]
