Black Terry Biography

Black Terry is one of the most popular and richest Professional Wrestler who was born on September 3, 1952 in Guadalajara, Mexico. Esteban Mares Castaneda (born on September 3rd 1952) is a Mexican luchador, also known as a professional wrestler, more popularly known under the nickname of the ring: Black Terry. Since 1973, he has been wrestling. He was a part of a group known as Los Temerarios alongside Jose Luis Feliciano and Shu El Guerrero. He was previously the mask-wearing wrestler Guerrero Maya (“Mayan Warrior”) and later formed the group known as Los Guerreros de Futuro (“The Warriors of Tomorrow”) together with Guerrero del Futuro (a masked Feliciano) and Damian El Guerrero. The wrestler’s father is Guerrero Maya, Jr. however, the relationship isn’t legally acknowledged because of Guerrero Maya, Jr. being an masked wrestler.

In the latter part of the 1990s and into the early 2000s, Black Terry became associated with International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) which was a regional organization located in Naucalpan, Mexico State. He was the head trainer of IWRG’s training academy and played a role in the training of several of IWRG’s future main event wrestlers. A wrestler that was trained with Black Terry became known as Multifacetico (“Multi-faceted”), and later was revealed to be the son of Black Terry (currently identified as Guerrero Maya Jr. in CMLL). The name was given to him because Multifacetico Terry’s son, he was a technico (the Spanish term for a wrestler who is an “good guy” character) and had plenty of publicity backing him. The focus was on the young, inexperienced and often prone to accidents Multifacetico’s fans reacted differently by booing him rather than cheering his efforts. In time, his skills in the ring were improved, and his lengthy battle between him and Black Terry eventually showed that he was a wrestler and they presented some of the greatest IWRG matches of 2008 as per SuperLuchas Magazine. The storyline of both Multifacetico was able to defeat Black Terry to win the IWRG Intercontinental Welterweight Championship. As part of his marketing effort to be a leading celebrity, Multifacetico defeated Black Terry in the Lucha de Apuesta on April 7, 2008, which left his father without hair in the process. Black Terry later won the IWRG Welterweight Championship from Fuerza Guerrera. In the beginning of 2009, Multifacetico quit IWRG and was replaced by Guerrero Maya, Jr. in CMLL after which he finally proved that he indeed was Black Terry’s son.

On December 25, 2016 Negro Navarro and Black Terry, two independent wrestlers who do not work for CMLL, defeated the team of Guerrero Maya Jr. and The Panther for the CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship. The match took place at the Lucha Memes show “Chairo 7: Hell In a Christmas Cell”, a non-CMLL show. On February 19, 2017 Navarro and Black Terry made their first successful defense against CMLL wrestlers Sanson and Cuatrero at a Lucha Memes show. On March 26, 2017 Navarro and Black Terry made their second successful defense against CMLL wrestlers Hechicero and Virus at a Lucha Memes show. On April 12, 2017 Navarro and Black Terry made their third successful defense against CMLL wrestlers Blue Panther and The Panther at a CMLL show.

The year CMLL Mares as well as Feliciano were given brand new ring names, with new masks that gave their characters a new look. Terry was named “Guerrero Maya” (“The Mayan Warrior”) and Feliciano was known as “Guerrero del Futuro” (“The Warrior of the future”). The two, in conjunction alongside Damian El Guerrero became known as Los Guerreros del Futuro and began the storyline of CMLL’s most fan-favorite trio, Los Metalicos (Oro, Plata as well as Bronce). Los Guerreros del Futuro won the Distrito Federal Trios Championship, however, since CMLL did not openly acknowledge the fact that Guerrero Maya was previously Black Terry they weren’t named two-time champions. It’s unclear what happened or when Los Guerreros del Futuro lost the Distrito Federal titles, mostly because of poor records, however by 1995 , the group comprised of Ciclon Ramirez, El Nuevo Huracan Ramirez, Jr. and El Hijo de Huracan Ramirez were the Distrito Federal Trios champions. While playing as Guerrero Maya he also competed in numerous singles matches, which included an event for the newly-created CMLL World Middleweight Championship, which was which was won in the hands of Blue Panther. Los Guerreros del Futuro participated in CMLL’s Salvador Lutteroth Trios Tournament in honor of CMLL founder Salvador Lutteroth. The tournament was held in March 1994 and the group lost in the opening round against Los Brazos (Brazo de Oro, Brazo de Platba, and El Brazo) By late 1996, Los Guerreros del Futuro had ended their existence and Mares quit CMLL. He worked for a time under the ring nickname El Hijo del Diablo (“The Son of the Devil”) the name of a character which was later assigned to another person.

Mares began his professional debut on February 23, 1973 with the ring title Black Terry but later adopt an masked ring figure named “La Gacela”, Spanish for “The Gazelle”. On the 20th of November in 1977 Mares were forced to take off his La Gacela mask following the loss of the Lucha de Apuesta (“Bet match”) to El Signo. After the loss of the mask, the actor was re-assigned to his role as Black Terry.

Then, as Black Terry he became a principal member of the UWA’s lighter divisions, notably the Lightweight division, where he took home the UWA World Lightweight Championship from Black Man on September 30 in 1981. Although he was primarily known for his technical wrestling in his beginning years, Black Terry displayed a much brutal, more violent style when he was paired with Shu El Guerrero and Jose Luis Feliciano to create Los Temerarios (“The Fearless”) in the beginning of the 1980s. In the course of 823 consecutive days, Champion Black Terry lost the UWA World Lightweight Championship to Negro Casas on January 1st, 1984. Another among Los Temerarios initial opponents was an extremely popular team known as Los Cadetos del Espacio (“The Space Cadets”) comprising El Solar, Super Astro and Ultraman who Los Temerarios had a series of matches that included an Luchas de Apuestas match between the two teams which resulted in all three Temerarios with hairless. The first half of the 1980s saw a surge in trios’ wrestlers matches across Mexico particularly with the popularity that was Los Misioneros de la Muerte (El Signo, El Texano, and Negro Navarro) along with Los Temerarios built on that success by hosting a series of well-received trios games. The trio was so successful they became the very first holders of the Distrito Federal Trios Championship, which was not sanctioned by a wrestler’s organization, but rather by the Mexico City wrestling and Boxing commission and was not controlled by a single organization. Los Temerarios would later lose the Distrito Federal Trios Championship to three youngsters Japanese wrestling stars, Yoshihiro Asai, Hata Hirokazu and Naoki Sano, in an event at Naucalpan, State of Mexico. On the 20th of November 1989 Los Temerarios won the Mexican National Trios Championship, that was at the time the most prestigious Trios competition in Mexico and they beat Los Destructores (Tony Arce, Emilio Charles, Jr. as well as Vulcano). Their title winning streak ran until the 1st of January, 1991 after which they lost the championship against Los Arqueros del Espacio (“The Space Archers”; El Arquero, Danny Boy, and Lasser). The loss to the title is part of the ongoing storyline that ran between the two teams. The storyline eventually saw Los Temerarios defeat Los Arqueros del Espacio and in this instance Robin Hood, Danny Boy and Lasser in Luchas of Apuetas match. At the end of 1991, Black Terry and Jose Luis Feliciano started working together for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and ended Los Temerarios.

IWRG held their first Torneo Relampago de Proyeccion a Nuevas Promesas de la Lucha Libre (“Projecting a new promise lightning tournament”) on January 1,

2010. The tournament saw a wrestling veteran team up with a rookie for a tag team competition designed to give more exposure to the rookies. Black Terry teamed up with his trainee Alan Extreme, but lost in the first round to Dinamic Black (Rookie) and Chico Che. Later that year Black Terry joined forces with Cerebro Negro and Dr. Cerebro to form Los Terribles Cerebros, a trio that defeated Los Oficiales (Oficial 911, Oficial AK-47, and Oficial Fierro) to win the Distrito Federal Trios Championship on December 7, 2010. Four months later the Mexico City wrestling Commission stripped Los Terrible Cerebros of the championship when Cerebro Negro temporarily stopped working for IWRG. They held a tournament to crown new champions which included the team of Black Terry, Dr. Cerebro, and El Hijo del Signo, which was eliminated in the second round. IWRG held another Proyeccion a Nuevas Promesas in 2011, which saw Black Terry team up with Kershin Black, defeating Muerte Infernal and El Hijo del Diablo but lost to the new Multifacético and Trauma I in the second round. In 2011 Black Terry unveiled Los Nuevo Temerarios consisting of himself, Durok and Machin, a group that did not last long before being replaced by Bombero Infernal and Alan Extreme. In 2012 IWRG renamed their “Rookie and Veteran” tournament to El Protector, where Black Terry once again teamed up with Alan Extreme, losing in the first round to Saurman and Veneno.
