Joel Bernal Galicia better known under the ring name
Olímpico is a Mexican
Luchador
, or professional wrestler
. Olímpico is sometimes Anglicised
as "Olympico", and means "Olympian" in Spanish
. From his debut in 1992 until late 2008 Olímpico worked for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre
(CMLL), since then he has worked for Promociones Perros del Mal
, International Wrestling Revolution Group
(IWRG), World Wrestling Alliance
(WWA) and the Mexican independent circuit
before returning to CMLL in mid-2010 as part of Los Invasores
. For many years Olimpico's real was 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. He was unmasked on September 3, 2010 and had to reveal his real name.
for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre
(CMLL). It was rare for CMLL to have a wrestler actually made his debut on in their "home venue", but they were in need of young talent after a large number of young wrestlers had left CMLL for rival promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración
(AAA) in early 1992. In his first match he used the ring name
Popoca, Jr. but after the match it was decided that he needed a different ring persona. CMLL Owner Paco Alonso came up with the concept of "Olímpico", "the Olympian", inspired by the 1992 Summer Olympics
in Barcelona
, Spain
. Olímpico wore a white mask with the Olympic Rings on it, a white Olympic wrestling style singlet and white boots. Later on he would change the Olympic rings to five lines with the colors of the Olympic rings as CMLL had not gotten permission to use the official Olympic symbol. Initially Olímpico worked in the first and second matches of the show, improving his skills while continuing to train under Hijo del Gladiador
at the CMLL Gym. In 1996 he was finally given a chance to stand out from the other low card wrestlers when he was placed in a storyline
feud with Damián El Guerrero. The feud saw Olímpico win his first Luchas de Apuestas match (a "bet match" where both competitors put their mask on the line), unmasking Damián El Guerrero.
On September 16, 1998 Olímpico won the CMLL World Welterweight Championship
from Karlof Lagarde, Jr., the first singles title of Olípico's career. On October 23, 1998 Olímpico headlined his first CMLL show ever, losing the CMLL Welterweight title to Halcón Negro. A week later Olímpico once again faced Halcón Negro in the main event, this time defeating Negro in a Luchas de Apuesta, winning the mask of his opponent. On February 27, 1999 Olímpico made his first trip to Japan, losing the CMLL Welterweight title to Super Delfin. Back in Mexico Olímpico worked a feud against Rey Bucanero
, a feud that involved mask ripping every time the two were in the same ring, building to a Luchas de Apuesta between the two. But the match never happened, instead Rey Bucanero lost his mask to Shocker leaving the Olímpico / Bucanero storyline unfinished. On March 30, 2000 Olímpico, Mr. Niebla
and Safari
defeated the team of Blue Panther
, Fuerza Guerrera
and El Signo to win the Mexican National Trios Championship
. In 2002 CMLL decided to create a Mini-Estrella
version of Olímpico called Pequeño Olímpico
, a short wrestler who wore an outfit patterened after Olímpico's outfit at the time. On June 23, 2003 Olímpico, Mr. Niebla and Safari lost the Trios title to Los Nuevo Infernales
, the team of Averno, Mephisto
and Satánico. After working as a tecnico (a good guy character, called a Face
in wrestling) since 1992 Olímpico turned rudo (villain or Heel
) in the fall of 2004, joining a group called Los Guerreros del Infierno
, Último Guerrero
, Rey Bucanero
and Tarzan Boy
. While his rudo turn was surprising, it was soon overshadowed when Atlantis
turned rudo and joined Los Guerreros in early 2005, relegating Olímpico to the secondary trios teams, working with Tarzan Boy and other Los Guerrero's associates while the team Último Guerrero, Rey Bucanero and Atlantis was the main Guerreros del Infierno team. On September 30, 2005 Olímpico and Atlantis were chosen to challenge Hiroshi Tanahashi
and Shinsuke Nakamura
for the IWGP Tag Team Championship, when the Japanese duo made a trip to Mexico; Tanahashi and Nakamura successfully defended the title. Over the next three years Olímpico worked the semi-main and sometimes main event Trios matches but never got the "big" match or won any championships.
and his group Los Perros del Mal
left CMLL, citing their unhappiness with their position in the promotion and the lack of attention they were given. Aguayo left CMLL and formed his own professional wrestling promotion
called Perros del Mal Producciones
, one of the first "Non-Perro" wrestlers they announced was Olímpico, who had left CMLL for the same reason as Aguayo. Since then Olímpico has been a regular on Perros del Mal shows, as well as working for International Wrestling Revolution Group
and various Independent wrestling promotions
all over Mexico. On March 20, 2009 Olímpico defeated Angel Blanco, Jr. to win the vacant WWA Middleweight Championship
, although some confuses exists as a different WWA Middleweight Championship is used around the Monterrey area. Olímpico later claimed that he was never actually given the championship belt after the match, putting the legitimacy of the title victory further in doubt.
. Five days later CMLL held a press conference where Olímpico was presented as part of the Los Invasores
group, a group portrayed as an "invading force" from the independent scene to fight against CMLL wrestlers. On July 12, 2010, at the Promociones Gutiérrez 1st Anniversary Show
Olímpico participated in a match where 10 men put their mask on the line in a match that featured five pareja incredibles teams, with the losing team being forced to wrestle each other with their mask on the line. His partner in the match was Atlantis, facing off against the teams of Místico
and El Oriental
, La Sombra
and Histeria
, El Alebrije
and Volador, Jr., Último Guerrero and Averno. Olímpico and Atlantis was the last team that escaped the match, levaving El Oriental and Místico to wrestle for their masks, which ended with Místico defeating El Oriental. A few months after returning to CMLL Olímpico teamed up with his old Guerreros del Atlantida partners Atlantis and Último Guerrero for a number of matches. During a trios tournament on the August 13, 2010 Super Viernes Olímpico caused his team to be disqualified and then attacked his former team mates, ending their tenetative relationship. As a result of his actions after the match Olímpico, Último Guerrero and Atlantis were all added to the main event of the CMLL 77th Anniversary Show
, a 14-man steel cage Lucha de Apuesta, mask vs. mask match. The match came down to Olímpico and La Sombra after the other 12 men had escaped the cage, following just under 10 minutes of one-on-one wrestling La Sombra pinned Olímpico to force him to unmask. After the match Olímpico announced that his name was Joel Bernal Galicia from Mexico City
, that he was 44 years old and had been wrestling for 19 years. On September 20, 2011, Olímpico, Psicosis II
and the new leader of Los Invasores, Volador Jr., defeated Ángel de Oro
, Diamante and Rush
to win the Mexican National Trios Championship.
