  Mil Mascaras
Translated as “Man of 1,000 Masks,” the flashy Mil Mascaras was the first Lucha Libre personality created specifically to be a movie star; and the character was promoted in various wrestling magazines before Rodriguez, at just age 23, was handpicked to play the role due to his chiseled physique, acting ability, and judo skills.
The character’s first film, titled simply “Mil Mascaras,” was released in 1966 and portrayed him as a comic book hero who was an orphan child adopted by scientists and then raised to become the world’s most perfect physical specimen while fighting criminals and other villains.
A legitimate trend-setter, Mil Mascaras was one of the sport’s most innovative in-ring performers, inspiring legions of fans across the globe while serving as a major influence for future Japanese masked superstars like Tiger Mask and Jushin Liger.

During his childhood, Mil Mascaras was very interested in the Catholic religion: he read the bible and he was an altar boy at a local church.
Mascaras practiced bullfighting with young bulls with short horns, but even with those bulls he received four thrusts so he called it quits before anything serious happened.
The original plan was to have Mascaras feud with the IWA North American champ, Ox Baker, all over the states during a year which would finish in a title vs. title match at the MSG, but those plans were broken as Baker shortly left, apparently because he was threatened by other promoters.

 Mil Mascaras Biography
MIL MASCARAS (whose real name is Aaron Rodriguez) was born in Mexico City in 1939, and became a professional wrestler and movie star almost overnight in 1965 (at the age of 26).
Mil Mascaras was the first Lucha Libre personality that was created specifically to be a movie star, since his whole persona and flashy "look" was designed initially for the movies.
Mil also appeared in a solo movie of his own, "A ROSE IN THE RING" (1972) and years later, he even teamed up with the Son of Santo in "THE LAWLESS FRONTIER" (1983), making Mil Mascaras the only Mexican superhero to ever co-star with both Santos, father and son.

For anyone who was lucky enough to see Mascaras wrestle, whether on TV or in person, it was hard to look at the sport the same way again.
Mascaras was born Aaron Rodriguez on July 15, 1942 in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.
Although he was loved and respected by the fans, Mascaras -- who was known as being one of the best-conditioned and athletic wrestlers in the sport -- had many bitter feuds throughout his career against some of wrestling's strongest, meanest and toughest legends.

 Lethal Lucha Legends: Mil Mascaras
Yes, young Mil Mascaras had a try at Mexico’s other national sport for a short while, but the conclusion came to him that would most likely come to most of us, that getting gored (he received some bad thrusts even from the young, short-horned bulls he practiced with) is not a very fun pastime.
Mil Mascaras was basically the cream of the crop by then, moving from Tokyo to Tijuana to Texas, pretty much going wherever he pleased and working for the highest bidder, headlining every arena.
Mil even had the privilege of making history, in being the first ever masked wrestler to compete in Madison Square Garden, America’s wrestling cathedral, when no other had been allowed to wrestle under a hood before.

 Las Momias de Guanajuato Review
Mil Máscaras suggests that they call Santo, but Blue Demon demurs, saying that's what the killer wants (in light of Blue's real-life rivalry with Santo, this scene takes on an added humorous edge).
Suddenly, Alicia (who was Pingüino's neighbor), Blue Demon, and Mil Máscaras are attacked by three mummies (where these other mummies come from is never explained: Satán is the one who made the pact with the devil).
Julito stows away in their trunk, but when they stop to investigate a suspicious shadow in an alley, the boy is kidnaped by one of the mummies.

 Mil Mascaras   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Comments: The fist Luchador character created specifically for movies, Mil Mascaras was created by film producer Enrique Vergara, who made pictures cashing in on the craze that was sweeping Mexican cinemas.
With Santo having walked out on him after a contractual dispute, and Blue Demon recently injured and unable to work, Vergara needed a new leading man. He recruited a young athlete, Aaron Rodriguez, who had been a contender for the Mexican Olympic judo team, and turned him into a star.
That last paragraph has now become slightly inaccurate as David Owens informs me that "Mil Mascaras is currently in Columbia, MO, shooting in a new film: Mil Mascaras vs. the Aztec Mummy" as of 10th December 2004.
