El Hijo Del Fantasma Joins WWE

The wrestler best known as El Hijo del Fantasmo has finally joined the WWE Performance Center.

Though Fantasma (real name: Jorge Bolly) was originally thought to be signing with the company as part of last month's intake, he didn't walk through the door until yesterday, joining fellow new signing Edgar Lopez: a 6'4", 250lb former football player from Chile.

Western fans might be more familiar with Bolly's work as Lucha Underground's King Cuerno. He's a second-generation wrestler with two decades of experience in the sport, even though he's only 35 years old, and has worked extensively for Mexico's top two promotions: CMLL and AAA.

Last year saw Bolly lose his mask at in the AAA TripleMania XXVI main event, with LA Park scoring the final fall in a bout that also included Psycho Clown and Pentagon Jr. He has primarily worked in Mexico since then, only crossing over into the United States for a handful of dates, and has kept a busy schedule with independent promotions like The Crash and Nacion Lucha Libre since working his last date for AAA in March.
