10 Greatest Wrestlers In Lucha Libre History

10. Octagón/Octagon

Status: Active.

The self-named "Master of the Eight Angles", Octagón is a Mexican wrestler whose career reached peak popularity during the late 1990s. As a luchador, one of his most recognizable traits is his wide array of martial arts moves, as well as an impressive set of acrobatic abilities that soon gained the applause of both young and veteran fans.

The man behind the white and red mask is named Juan Escalera, born in 1961 in the Mexican state of Veracruz. This seasoned warrior has recently stated that his wrestling days are numbered, an inescapable event that will leave a void in the Lucha Libre scene as it is known today.

One of Octagon's most celebrated battles took place in 1994 against Art Barr and Eddie Guerrero, the so-called "Gringos Locos". This agonizing victory, while in a tag team with The Son of El Santo, was ultimately claimed by Octagón's team. Unfortunately, he suffered a nasty injury (or did he?) and was rushed out of the ring before the end of the match. In the following video, you can watch the entire ordeal unfold into glorious mayhem:
