José Casas Ruiz (born January 10, 1960) is a Mexican professional wrestler and professional wrestling trainer working for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) under the ring name Negro Casas. He is the son of former wrestler turned referee Pepe Casas, and part of the large Casas wrestling family; brother of professional wrestlers El Felino and Heavy Metal and uncle of Puma, Tiger, Canelo Casas, Rocky Casas, Danny Casas and many more.

Casas has trained several wrestlers, including Mephisto, Kazushige Nosawa, T. J. Perkins, Rocky Romero, and Ricky Marvin. Casas has worked all over the world, making appearances for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in the United States as well as touring with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) in Japan for over a decade.

In his country, Casas is known for his work in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), wrestling sporadically for the promotion from 1980 until 2023. Casas has also wrestled in Mexico for the Universal Wrestling Association (UWA), World Wrestling Association (WWA) and International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG). In 2008 Negro Casas joined with Mr. Niebla and Heavy Metal to form the group La Peste Negra (Spanish for "the Black Plague"), a group that would later be joined by El Felino.

Early life

Casas was born in 1960, the son of professional wrestler Pepe "Tropi" Casas, and grew up around Tlalpan. Casas described his childhood as a happy and normal one, even though his father would be away from home for long stretches as he wrestled all over Mexico and the United States. Casas' father first took him to a wrestling show when Casas was five years old, bringing him to an event across the border in the United States.[5][6] Casas became hooked on wrestling from the moment he saw the first match, with his first idols being his father, Aníbal and El Solitario. Casas played football, soccer, volleyball and baseball while still in school and even started training in professional wrestling classes taught by his father and Raúl Reyes.[5] José and his brothers, Heavy Metal and El Felino, often sat at ringside during their father's matches, pretending to be upset or cry whenever their father looked like he was getting beat up in the ring, a ploy that their father had taught them to help gain crowd sympathy.[6]

Professional wrestling career

Early career (1979–1991)

José Casas made his professional wrestling debut in 1979 due to a strange turn of events. He was in an arena where his father was supposed to compete when the promoter told Casas that his father had not shown, and that he needed the young Casas to fill in for him or else he would have Pepe Casas banned from wrestling. Casas, clad in street clothes, wrestled and won his first match using the ring name "Pepe Casas Jr.", only to discover Pepe Casas and Raúl Reyes waiting in the dressing room; the two had played a joke on Casas to see how he handled himself in the ring.[5]

Casas chose the name "Negro Casas" ("Black Casas") as his ring name and decided not to wear a mask. By 1984, Casas had begun working for the Universal Wrestling Association (UWA), winning the UWA World Lightweight Championship from Black Terry on January 1.[7] Casas held the championship for 301 days before losing it to El Hijo del Santo.[7] This loss was part of an intense, long running storyline between Casas and Hijo del Santo that drew favorable reviews and helped establish both wrestlers as future main eventers. The storyline included Hijo del Santo forcing Negro Casas to be shaved bald after losing a Luchas de Apuestas, or bet match.[8] In the late 1980s, Casas began working for the Mexican-based World Wrestling Association (WWA), where he became the first man to hold the WWA Welterweight Championship, holding it from sometime in 1987 until he was defeated by Tornado Negro on April 14, 1989.[9] Casas regained the title, but only held it briefly before losing again as he was leaving the WWA.[9] Casas returned to the UWA in 1990, and on January 29, 1991, he won the UWA World Middleweight Championship from Super Astro.[10] Casas held the title for 787 days before losing it to Último Dragón.[10]

Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre/Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (1980–2023)

Various storylines (1980–2008)

In 1980, Casas worked a low card match at Coliseo Naucalpan against an equally young Fuerza Guerrera; the match was so well-received by the audience that they threw money into the ring to show their appreciation. Promoter Paco Alonso even entered the ring and asked the crowd to show their appreciation for the match they just saw, earning both Negro Casas and Fuerza Guerrera a regular job with Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL).

On December 1, 1995, Negro Casas defeated longtime rival El Hijo del Santo in the finals of a tournament to crown a new NWA World Welterweight Champion, holding it for over 200 days.[11] They resumed their feud in 1997, culminating in another Lucha de Apuestas between the two. Negro Casas once again ended up on the losing side, losing two falls to one in the main event of the CMLL 63rd Anniversary Show on September 20.[8] Following the Apuesta loss, Casas and Hijo del Santo began teaming with each other, and in early 1999, they defeated Bestia Salvaje and Scorpio Jr. by disqualification, but refused to accept the CMLL World Tag Team Championship as they did not win by pinfall.[12] A few weeks later, they defeated Salvage and Scorpio Jr. by pinfall to claim the title.[12] The team reigned for over 400 days, until El Hijo del Santo left CMLL, forcing Casas to vacate the title. When Hijo del Santo returned in 2001, the duo picked up where they left off by defeating Último Guerrero and Rey Bucanero to win the championship once again.[13] After 210 days and several title defenses, Guerrero and Bucanero finally regained the titles, ending the third and final reign of the Casas/Hijo del Santo team. Beyond their feud, Casas stated that Hijo del Santo was one of his favorite rivals and good friends backstage.[6]

Following the tag team title loss, Negro Casas began focusing on his singles career, winning the CMLL World Middleweight Championship from Emilio Charles Jr. on April 26, 2004.[14] On August 28, 2005, Casas became a double champion when he won the IWRG Intercontinental Trios Championship, teaming with his brothers El Felino and Heavy Metal to defeat Black Tiger III, Pentagon Black and El Pantera.[15] The trio's title reign lasted 129 days and was ended by Cerebro Negro, Veneno and Scorpio Jr.[15] In 2006, Casas began teaming with rising CMLL star Místico, working together in a style very similar to Casas and Hijo del Santo. The two defeated Averno and Mephisto to win the CMLL Tag Team Championship, Casas' fourth and Místico's first, on April 14.[16] On September 17, Casas' 874-day CMLL World Middleweight Championship reign ended at the hands of Averno.[9] Casas and Místico lost the tag team titles to Último Guerrero and Dr. Wagner Jr. on July 13, 2007, but regained them a week later.[16] They eventually lost the titles to Guerrero and Atlantis, failing to regain them in subsequent rematches.[16] On November 11, Casas won the IWRG Intercontinental Middleweight Championship by defeating Villano III in the finals of a tournament to find a new champion. After CMLL and IWRG stopped working together in 2008, he was no longer promoted as the champion, with the title technically being inactive.[17]

La Peste Negra (2008–2023)

In July 2008, Mr. Niebla returned to CMLL, forming a rudo group with Negro Casas and Heavy Metal called La Peste Negra (Spanish for "the Black Plague"), which had a more comical approach to wrestling. The trio started wearing large afro wigs, painting their faces black and dancing during their entrances, generally working a less serious style of match unusual for a serious wrestler like Casas.[6] On September 2, the last Casas brother, El Felino, turned rudo as well and joined La Peste Negra. After Felino joined the group, Heavy Metal was quietly phased out as he was not comfortable working the comedic style.[6] La Pesta Negra's biggest triumph was Casas' title win over Místico that brought the CMLL World Welterweight Championship into the group.[18] After the win, La Peste Negra continued their feud with Místico and his various allies, which culminated in a Lucha de Apuesta between Casas and Místico on September 18, 2009, at the CMLL 76th Anniversary Show, where Casas lost two falls to one and had his hair shaved off.[19]

On January 29, 2010, Negro Casas teamed with La Máscara in the Torneo Nacional de Pareja Increíbles ("National Amazing Pairs tournament"), a tournament where CMLL pairs a tecnico (La Máscara) with a rudo (Casas). The two defeated El Texano Jr. and Rouge in the opening round, El Sagrado and Shocker in the second round, and Héctor Garza and Toscano in the semi-final to earn a spot in the finals on February 5,[20] where they lost to Máscara Dorada and Atlantis.[21] He won his second CMLL World Middleweight Championship on February 14, defeating El Hijo del Fantasma.[22] On October 15, Charly Manson defeated Negro Casas in a Lucha de Apuesta to take his hair.[23] On February 14, 2012, Casas defeated La Sombra to win the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship for the first time.[24] At Homenaje a Dos Leyendas ("Homage to Two Legends") on March 2, Casas and Blue Panther wrestled to a draw in a Lucha de Apuesta and were, as a result, both shaved bald.[25] On December 25, Casas successfully defended the NWA Historic Welterweight Championship against Guerrero Maya Jr. at a special Christmas show after Maya Jr. had defeated Casas in a series of matches leading up to the show.[26] In early 2013, they were paired for the Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles, but lost in the first round to eventual tournament winners La Sombra and Volador Jr.[27][28] On June 2, Casas lost the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship to Máscara Dorada, ending his reign at 475 days, the longest in the title's history.[29]

On January 3, 2014, Casas defeated Titán in the finals of the Leyenda de Plata ("Silver Legend") tournament.[30] On February 18, Casas, Felino and Mr. Niebla defeated La Máscara, Rush and Titán to win the Mexican National Trios Championship.[31] On June 13, Casas and Shocker defeated La Máscara and Rush to win the CMLL World Tag Team Championship.[32] At El Juicio Final ("The Final Justice") on August 1, Casas lost his hair to Rush in a Lucha de Apuestas.[33] On April 26, 2015, La Peste Negra lost the Mexican National Trios Championship to Los Reyes de la Atlantida (Atlantis, Delta and Guerrero Maya Jr.).[34] On May 22, Casas defeated Dragon Lee to win the 2015 Leyenda de Plata, his second in a row and third overall.[35] On February 14, 2018, CMLL vacated the CMLL World Tag Team Titles due to lack of defences since 2016. In January 2023, Casas and his wife Dalys la Caribeña departed CMLL.

New Japan Pro-Wrestling (1990–2022)

Casas made his debut for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) on December 26, 1990, unsuccessfully challenging Jushin Thunder Liger for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.[36] The following year, he participated in the 1991 Top of the Super Juniors tournament, scoring eight points to advance to the semi-finals, where he lost to Liger.[37] On August 3, 1996, he participated in a tournament to unify 8 lightweight titles in NJPW's J-Crown tournament. Casas put the NWA World Welterweight Championship on the line, which he ultimately lost to Shinjiro Otani in the first round.[11] At the Toukon Souzou New Chapter pay-per-view on October 8, 2005, he and El Felino unsuccessfully challenged Hirooki Goto and Minoru Tanaka for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship.[38] From October to November 2008, Casas and Rocky Romero participated in the G1 Tag League as part of Block B. They finished with four points after two wins and three losses, failing to advance to the semi-finals.[39] On May 3, 2010, Casas lost his CMLL World Middleweight Championship to Liger at Wrestling Dontaku 2010.[40]

On October 21, 2012, Casas and Bushi, under the name "Grupo Cibernetico",[41] lost to Suzuki-gun (Taichi and TAKA Michinoku) in the first round of the Super Junior Tag Tournament.[42] At Power Struggle on November 11, he, Captain New Japan, Liger, Manabu Nakanishi and Tiger Mask lost to CHAOS (Jado, Takashi Iizuka, Tomohiro Ishii, Toru Yano and Yoshi-Hashi).[43] Casas returned to NJPW in January 2020 to take part in Fantastica Mania 2020, their co-promoted tour with CMLL.[44] There, he and Tiger participated in a family tag team tournament, defeating Ángel de Oro and Niebla Roja in the first round before losing to El Soberano Jr. and Euforia in the third place match.[45][46] Casas made his Strong debut on the July 23, 2022 episode, which was also his final NJPW appearance, teaming with Adrian Quest and Lucas Riley in a loss to David Finlay, Máscara Dorada and Romero.[47]

Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (2023–present)

On January 21, 2023, Casas and his wife Dalys la Caribeña made their debuts for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), appearing at a AAA television taping in Querétaro.[48] On February 5, at Rey de Reyes, Casas made his AAA in-ring debut, being defeated by Hijo del Vikingo in a four-way Rey de Reyes match qualifier that also involved Myzteziz Jr. and Mecha Wolf.[49][50]

Personal life

José Casas is a member of an extensive wrestling family, founded by his father Pepe "Tropi" Casas and also consists of his brothers Erick, who wrestles as "Heavy Metal" and El Felino (Jorge Casas), and a brother who is not a professional wrestler. Casas' sister-in-law (Felino's wife) is former Mexican National Women's Champion Princessa Blanca.[5] Casas' wife is the daughter of a Panamanian wrestling promoter that Casas once worked for, currently working for CMLL as well, using the ring name Dalys la Caribeña. His two daughters are training in Olympic style wrestling, also hoping to turn professional one day. José Casas does not train his daughters, entrusting that task to Ringo Mendoza, Tony Salazar, Arturo Beristain and Franco Colombo.[5][6] One of Casas' daughters is married to professional wrestler Diamante who works for CMLL. Casas also has two nephews who work as Tiger and Puma, the sons of El Felino. Wrestler Canelo Casas is also credited with being a nephew of Negro Casas, but it is unclear if he is the son of Erick Casas or the son of one of their non-wrestling brothers or sisters.[51]

Casas is a fan of musician Juan Luis Guerra and his band "Los 4:40", which references the highest frequency in music. He adopted the nickname "4:40" in homage to them, under the suggestion of lucha journalist & commentator Alfonso Morales.[52]
