Super Calo
The Unstoppable Force That is Super Calo
Super Calo is one of those wrestlers who can make you forget about everything else in the room when he's in the ring. There's an undeniable aura around him that makes you want to stand up and cheer, even if you're just a casual fan.
Born Rafael Garcia on February 22nd, 1971, Super Calo is a product of Mexico City's vibrant lucha libre scene. He started his career back in 1991, and since then, he's been a force to be reckoned with. With a weight class of 200 pounds and a height of 5'10", you wouldn't exactly call him the biggest guy on the block – but don't let that fool you.
Super Calo is all about high-flying action, folks. He's got a wrestling style that's all his own, blending traditional lucha libre moves with a modern flair that keeps fans on their toes. You can bet your bottom dollar he'll be busting out the Tope con Giro (that's a top-rope somersault for the uninitiated) and La Quebrada (a corkscrew senton, if you please) like they're going out of style.
And don't even get us started on his nickname – El Rapero. Yes, you read that right: this guy is not only a wrestling powerhouse but also a rap aficionado. Who wouldn't want to see him busting out rhymes in the middle of a match?
As if all that weren't enough, Super Calo has racked up an impressive list of accolades throughout his career. He's held titles like the Distrito Federal Trios Championship and has worked with some of the biggest promotions in the business: World Championship Wrestling, Extreme Championship Wrestling, All Japan Pro Wrestling, Consejo Mundial De Lucha Libre, and Lucha Libre AAA World Wide.
What really sets Super Calo apart, though, is his versatility. He's just as comfortable flying solo as a singles wrestler as he is taking on opponents in tag team matches or even calling the shots behind the scenes as a promoter. This guy can do it all – and do it with style.
So if you ever find yourself at an indie show or a lucha libre event, make sure to keep an eye out for Super Calo. Trust us: you won't be disappointed.
