Amadeus

Amadeus showed up in Mexico shortly after the film of the same name about Mozart came out on the big screen. He had several matches along the Mexican border in towns such as Nogales, San Luis Rio Colorado, Agua  Prieta and Naco, where he was roughly mid-level as a wrestler on the cards.

In 1990, he was booked into Arizona at regular intervals and remained for a couple years, when a wrestling promotion operated at a Hispanic swap meet in Phoenix.

Amadeus used the typical flying moves used day most lucha figures, but at this time such was not commonplace in America and he became a big hit.  He wore a variety of different masks, including one with msuical notes upon it to keep with the musical theme.

Among the people Amadeus feuded with were Sergeant Shultz and J.T.Law. He and Fly Boy also faced The Mad Monks in a short feud.

Eventually, the luchador returned to his native Mexico and rounded out his career down there.

He presently makes his home in Nogales.
