Atlantis (born September 28, 1962) is a
Mexican luchador enmascarado (masked
professional wrestler), working for
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) where he performs as a
Técnico (
face or "good guy" character). Atlantis has held a large number of professional wrestling championships over the years, both in Mexico and in
Japan. 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. Despite having worked as a
Rudo for several years Atlantis is still very popular with young kids, retaining the nickname
El idolo de los Niños (The idol of the children) after turning
Rudo. 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.
