Ultratumbita Explained

Ultratumbita
Names:Ultratumbita
Death Date:March 25, 2018[1]

Ultratumbita (real name unrevealed) was a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler, best known for his work in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's (CMLL) Minis division.[2]

Professional wrestling career

In 1992 then-CMLL booker Antonio Peña left CMLL to form his own promotion, Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA); Peña had been the mastermind behind the CMLL Minis division and most of the Minis in CMLL decided to leave with Peña. Ultratumbita and a number of other wrestlers were brought in to replenish the division. Ultratumbita is a miniature version of regular sized wrestler Ultratumba.[2] On September 11, 1993, Ultratumbita defeated Orito to win the CMLL World Mini-Estrella Championship, becoming the third champion. Ultratumbita held the Minis title for 520 days before losing it to Máscarita Mágica on February 13, 1995. In April 1995, Ultratumbita won a Lucha de Apuesta, or "bet match" over Máscarita Mágica as part of their storyline and forced Mágica to unmask. Ultratumbita has not wrestled since late 1995 / early 1996, the most likely reason is that the man behind the Ultratumbita mask was "repackaged" and given a new ring name and mask, but it has never been documented if this truly the case or not.
