Cerberus

He took his name from the mythical dog with three heads, guarding the entrance to the underworld in Greek lore. He, himself, had only one head on his shoulders and it was always covered with a black mask.

Coming from Caborca,. Mexico, Cerberus worked on both sides of the line and had occasional appearances in Arizona for a number of different offices. The lucha libre promotions in particular, were keen to use him, for he was a smaller guy who used a lot of sensational moves that the people liked.

Cerberus should not be confused with Calibus,  another luchador from the same era, active on both sides of the line, who wore a white outfit and was an entriely different person.

Even more oddly, these two never squared off.

Cerberus was not seen in Pheonix very often, but utilization came more in the smaller towns such as Florence, Sierra Vista, Casa Grande and on the Indian Reservations when varied people ran there. The Corona family used him during their short-lived efforts to bring lucha libre to Arizona in the early 1980s.

Sadly, this masked grappler liked to drink, both at shows and afterward. His lifestyle caught up to him in 2008, when he passed away. He had ruined his personal health thanks to a Bohemian lifestyle.

He was seen with consistency in Sonora and Chihuahua for varied lucha offices. Though his dream was to perform in Mexico City, there is no evidence he ever made it there.

The signature move Cerberus used was the dive off the top rope a la Mil Mascaras and Dos Caras. He also did a great looking flying head scissors hold.
