Dantes started wrestling at 17-years-old in 1960 in Morelia
using the name of Edmundo Dantes after going through rigorous training from his
maestro Diablo Velasco. Alfonso came from great stock as his father Al Amezcua
(Golden Terror) was a great wrestler and his brother Vick Amezcua would go on
to fame as Septiembre Negro. Alfonso took the hair of many wrestlers with the
best known being El Faraon & El Halcon who was his main rival throughout
their careers. Alfonso also held many titles as he was an Occidental
Middleweight champion, which started his legendary run in his home of
Guadalajara, 3-time Mexican National Lt. Heavyweight champion, 5-time NWA World
Lt. Heavyweight champion (which was considered “his title”), and a 2-time
Mexican National Heavyweight champion.
Dantes was seen occasionally in Arizona on live shows via visiting lucha promoters. He was also known as a regular on Arizona tv thanks to the Galavison lucha show.
He died some time back. His reputation lives on.
