Status: Active.

A vibrant and charismatic fighter with a penchant for elaborate locks and devastating aerial attacks, Místico is arguably the most famous and celebrated luchador active in Mexican rings today. Admired by his peers and feared by his enemies, Místico began his ascension to stardom in 2004, having a brief stint in the WWE during the mid-2010s and then returning to Mexico in 2015.

After his return to the Aztec homeland, Místico gained the favor of the people after a succession of amazing victories that confirmed the experience he had acquired throughout his career. Particularly acclaimed for his daredevil flights from the third rope, which have taken a toll on this wrestler's health, Místico is a luchador still due to reach his full potential.

Although he has tweaked his identity in the last few years (he goes by the name Carístico right now), he remains a favorite champion for people with humble origins and ambitious dreams. Enjoy the spectacular match he had against The Son of Perro Aguayo back in 2015:
