Lady Apache

Sandra González Calderón (born June 26, 1970) is a Mexican professional wrestler or luchadora, best known under the ring name Lady Apache.

As Lady Apache, González has mainly worked for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and AAA, Mexico's two largest professional wrestling promotions during her career, switching back and forth several times.

González's ring name came as a result of her marriage to Mario Balbuena González who wrestled under the name Gran Apache.

Through her marriage to Gran Apache, she was the stepmother of Faby Apache and Mari Apache, both professional wrestlers.

González's second husband was Jesus Alvarado Nieves, better known as Brazo de Oro.

Her third husband, Edgar Luna Pozos, is generally known under the ring name Electroshock.

She is also the sister-in-law to Charly Manson (Jesus Luna Pozos).

González is a three-time CMLL World Women's Champion, a two-time Mexican National Women's Champion, two-time AAA Reina de Reinas (Spanish for "Queen of Queens") and one half of the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship with husband Electroshock.

Sandra González Calderón was born on June 26, 1970, in Mexico City, Mexico.

In the mid-1980s González was married to Mario Balbuena González, a professional wrestler known under the name Gran Apache.

The two met when Balbuena began training González for a professional wrestling career and married before she made her in-ring debut.

The couple later divorced, with González later marrying Jesus Alvarado Nieves, who wrestled under the name Brazo de Oro.

González made her professional wrestling debut on June 26, 1986, adopting the ring name "Lady Apache".

Early in her career, Lady Apache won back-to-back Lucha de Apuestas or "bet matches", the most prestigious match type in lucha libre, against La Gata, first forcing La Gata to remove her mask and later to have all her hair shaved off.

In 1990, Lady Apache began working for Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL; Mexican Wrestling Enterprise), Mexico's largest and oldest wrestling promotion.

Her first major match saw her team up with Xochitl Hamada, unsuccessfully challenging Martha Villalobos and Pantera Sureña for the Mexican National Women's Tag Team Championship.

In late 1991, EMLL changed its name to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; World Wrestling Council) and, as part of the rebranding efforts, introduced the CMLL World Women's Championship.

Lady Apache was one of 14 wrestlers competing in the initial tournament for the championship, but was not involved in the final where Bull Nakano defeated Lola González to win the championship.

On August 16, 1992, Lady Apache defeated La Diabólica to win the Distrito Federal Women's Championship, a local championship within Mexico City.

Her reign lasted 1,365 days, but with very few championship defenses in that period of time, before losing to La Practicante.

Her first trip to Japan was in January 1992, where she worked for Universal Pro-Wrestling.

During the tour, she had two championship opportunities.

The first opportunity, on January 19, saw Lady Apache team up with Kaoru Maeda, facing and losing to the team of Manami Toyota and Toshiyo Yamada for the vacant UWA World Women's Tag Team Championship.

The second opportunity saw Lady Apache and Mariko Yoshida lose to Kaoru Maeda and Mima Shimoda in a match for the vacant JCTV Women's TV Championship.

In mid-1993, the Mexican National Women's Championship was vacated as then-champion La Sieranita became pregnant and could no longer compete.

The tournament to determine a new champion saw Lady Apache and La Diabólica qualify for the final by winning a torneo cibernetico elimination match on August 14.

The following week La Diabólica defeated Lady Apache to claim the championship.

The following year, Lady Apache unsuccessfully challenged long-time rival La Diabólica for the CMLL World Women's Championship but lost the match.

She would later unsuccessfully challenge Reina Jubuki for the same championship.

On June 1, 1996, Lady Apache represented CMLL at the World Wrestling Peace Festival teaming with Akira Hokuto to defeat Bull Nakano and Neftali.

In November 1996, Lady Apache defeated Xochitl Hamada and then Chaparita Asari in a tournament to win the vacant CMLL World Women's Championship, becoming the fifth overall holder of the championship.

Her first reign lasted 90 days, until Mariko Yoshida defeated her on February 6, 1997, on a show in Tokyo, Japan.

The CMLL women's division was virtually inactive starting in 1997, with Lady Apache only working six CMLL shows that year.

In late 1998, Lady Apache defeated Tania in a Lucha de Apuestas match, forcing Tania to have her hair shaved off as a result.

In 1999, CMLL began promoting their women's division on a more regular basis, signaled by Lady Apache winning the CMLL World Women's Championship for a second time on May 15.

In the early 2000s, it was revealed that González and Alvarado were divorced, and she was then married to Edgar Luna Pozos, known in professional wrestling under the names of Electroshock and later Mr. Electro.

Lady Apache worked her last match for CMLL at the time on July 4, 2000.

She left the promotion without losing the CMLL World Women's Championship, which forced CMLL to declare it vacant in August.

While working for CMLL, Lady Apache was also allowed to tour Japan to wrestle on several tours.

In 2016 González along with Faby and Mari Apache, won the women's Lucha Libre World Cup.
