Encyclopedia
Genaro Vazquez Nevarez is a Mexican
professional wrestler currently working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre
, better known by his ring name
Blue Panther. The "Blue" part of his ring name
is an homage to Aníbal
, a wrestler he looked up to growing up who wore a blue mask.
in the late 1970s before getting noticed by René Guajardo
in Monterrey
. Guarjardo got Panther booked in Universal Wrestling Association
and Panther made his debut in their main building, El Toreo de Cuatro Caminos in Naucalpan
, in 1981. He wrestled on the undercard as a rudo (heel)
before getting his first push
in 1984 by winning the UWA World Welterweight championship from veteran worker Matemático at the end of the year. He had a feud
with Black Man that saw him lose his UWA Welterweight title but win Black Man's mask in 1986. During the remainder of his UWA career, he won the UWA World Junior Light Heavyweight Championship
from Gran Hamada
and traded the title back and forth with Solar I and won the mask of Kendo.
In 1991, he jumped to Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre
and began a feud with Atlantis
over the NWA World Middleweight Championship
. Although Blue Panther was unsuccessful in his August title challenge, the feud established him as a top rudo in EMLL, leading to him defeating El Satánico
to become the first CMLL World Middleweight Champion
when the company changed names and created new titles. In late 1991, he began feuding with the American
Love Machine
. Their April 1992 "Mask vs. Mask" mask, where Love Machine was disqualified for using an illegal Martinete (piledriver)
, sold out Arena México
and 8,000 fans watched the match on big screens outside the arena. The following month, he jumped to Antonio Peña's
new AAA promotion
and continued his feud with Love Machine with a "hair vs. mask" match win in July 1993. The match featured a double turn which led to Love Machine becoming a rudo and forming Los Gringos Locos
with Eddie Guerrero
.
Much of his time in AAA was spent in programs based on the National Middleweight Championship
. He worked programs with Ángel Azteca
, Super Astro, Solar I and Octagón
. After the downturn of the Mexican economy
, he started his own promotion with several business partners called PROMELL (later Promo Azteca). When the promotion failed, he returned to AAA briefly in 1997 but he was unhappy being programmed with Máscara Sagrada, Jr. and jumped to CMLL by the end of the year. In 1998, Panther teamed with Dr. Wagner, Jr.
and his real-life nephew Black Warrior
to form "Los Laguneros." The team won a tournament to win the vacant CMLL World Trios Championship
. In 1999, Panther and Wagner teamed to feud with Negro Casas
and El Hijo del Santo
for the CMLL World Tag Team Championship
with an unsuccessful title challenge in September of that year. In 2000 and 2001, Los Laguneros successfully defended their titles against Los Villaños (III
, IV
and V
) and the team of Negro Casas, Emilio Charles, Jr.
and Tarzan Boy
while Blue Panther had a singles feud with Olímpico
.
In 2002, Black Warrior left Los Laguneros and the trios titles were vacated. Fuerza Guerrera
replaced Black Warrior and they won another tournament for the CMLL World Trios title but they reigned for only three months before dropping the titles to Black Warrior, Atlantis and Mr. Niebla
. Over time, Blue Panther was getting booked more as a técnico (face)
and began to team with former rivals, Atlantis, Lizmark, Jr.
and Mr. Niebla as La Ola Azul in a feud with Los Guerreros del Infierno
. In 2004, Atlantis and Blue Panther defeated Último Guerrero
and Rey Bucanero
to win the CMLL World Tag Team Championship. Three months after successfully defending the titles against Olímpico and Rey Bucanero, Atlantis and Panther lost the titles to the team of Averno and Mephisto
in April 2005. When Atlantis turned rudo, Panther feuded with him off and on and the two often ripped at each other's masks
, hinting at a possible mask vs. mask match. On September 19, 2008, he lost his mask to Villaño V
in Mexico
. He was unmasked as Genaro Vazquez Nevarez.
