► The history of mystical
«Mystic had been fighting for years in preliminary fighting under the name of Astro Boy. The promoter decided to create a new star, with a story in which he was a homeless boy from the orphanage of Fray Torma, the cultural figure and priest on whom the movie “Nacho Libre was based”.
Astro Boy had disappeared from the CMLL shows approximately one month before, and for weeks they promoted the mystical debut, on June 18, 2004, in the Mexico Arena. In the second fight of the poster, mystic team with Flying Jr. and Felino to beat Averno, Mephisto and Olympic. Five of those six, 21 years later, remain regular of the CMLL, and mystical, flying Jr. and Averno have become three of the main stars of the company for decades. Mystic and Averno have headed numerous events this year, including fantastic Mania in Japan and fighting for titles with exhausted tickets. A typical end of a Friday night show would be a trios fight where mystic uses to make Averno.
Mystic quickly became the most popular starworshiped by a group of fans and despised by others for being a green fighter who gave a character and promoted him as almost invincible. For a part of the fans, his nickname was “the loaded”, with the idea that he was always taken by fighters like Dr. Wagner Jr. and last warrior. But the business shot in the following years and became the greatest attraction in Mexico, and from the point of view of live shows, in the greatest attraction of all wrestling. Without exaggeration, I worked ten functions a week, sometimes more, often up to four in Sundays, all in the metropolitan area of Mexico City. He was so requested that his brothers worked under the mask for promoters who wanted him when he already had commitments. He was one of the best paid fighters in the world and was only twenty -seventh. His boom was compared with the historic gusts of entrances exhausted in the Mexico Arena as that of the Konnan vs. rivalry. Dog Aguayo in 1991 and the golden age of El Solitario in 1971.
Although mystical would have been considered too small to be a star in WWE, His power of convocation was so great and his reputation in the business so strong that they signed him, they made it clear that he was the famous mystical, and gave him the name of Sin Face. It was a disaster for all the reasons that anyone who knew something about him or about WWE would have planned, with the predictable resentment, stories that he did not know how to fight, and that he acted as if it were a great star when he was not in WWE. He had a little chance when it was revealed that he was one of the three most used characters in WWE's video game, but was finally fired.
His failure in the international scene affected him in Mexico for years. First he went to AAA, like Myzteziz. It was not very successful. CMLL had already created a new mystical during his absence, the younger brother of the star Rush. So he returned as caristics. It was a star, without a doubt, but not at the level he had before, or the one he would have later. Mystical and caristic were a very popular duo as technical. The second mystic ended up being fired, along with his brothers Rush and Dragon Lee. ANDNto was the decision that Carista was mystical.
And it worked. At first, the nostalgia of the return of the original mystic with his old name attracted people. That was on August 27, 2021, when Luis Urive's return to the mystical name attracted a great crowd – not exhausted tickets – and He received what was described as the strongest ovation that any fighter had received in that enclosure from the pandemicTeam with sorcerer and brave to beat the last Guerrero, Atlantis Jr. and Gran Guerrero. This was like the return of Hogan red and yellow on WWF, and nostalgia was strong for a month or two. Four years later, the CMLL is at its highest point in 19 years, it is the second company with the greatest assistance in the world (and not far from the first), and there is no discussion: Mystic is the main star and the greatest attraction for a completely new audience. Instead of Hogan's return after his rude stage, this was like Sammartino's return for his second reign as WWWF champion ».
