Timeline

1960

José Casas Ruiz (born January 10, 1960) is a Mexican professional wrestler (called a Luchador in Spanish) and professional wrestling trainer working for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) under the ring name Negro Casas.

He is the son of former wrestler turned referee Pepe Casas, and part of the large Casas wrestling family; brother of professional wrestlers El Felino and Heavy Metal and uncle of Puma, Tiger, Canelo Casas, Rocky Casas, Danny Casas and many more.

Casas has trained several wrestlers, including Mephisto, Kazushige Nosawa, T. J. Perkins, Rocky Romero, and Ricky Marvin.

Casas has worked all over the world, making appearances for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in the United States of America as well as touring with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) in Japan for over a decade.

Casas was born in 1960, the son of professional wrestler Pepe "Tropi" Casas, and grew up around Tlalpan.

Casas described his childhood as a happy and normal one, even though his father would be away from home for long stretches as he wrestled all over Mexico and the United States.

Casas' father first took him to a wrestling show when Casas was five years old, bringing him to an event across the border in the United States.

Casas became hooked on wrestling from the moment he saw the first match, with his first idols being his father, Aníbal and El Solitario.

Casas played football, soccer, volleyball and baseball while still in school and even started training in professional wrestling classes taught by his father and Raúl Reyes.

José and his brothers, Heavy Metal and El Felino, often sat at ringside during their father's matches, pretending to be upset or cry whenever their father looked like he was getting beat up in the ring, a ploy that their father had taught them to help gain crowd sympathy.

1963

Negro Casas once again ended up on the losing side, losing two falls to one in the main event of the CMLL 63rd Anniversary Show.

Negro Casas would later state that El Hijo del Santo was one of his favorite rivals and good friends backstage.

1979

Casas debut came in 1979 as a bit of a strange turn of events.

José Casas was in an arena where his father was supposed to compete when the promoter told Casas that his father had not shown and that he needed the young Casas to fill in for him or he would have Pepe Casas banned from wrestling.

Casas wrestled and won his first match using the ring name "Pepe Casas Jr.", wearing street clothes only to discover Pepe Casas and Raúl Reyes waiting in the dressing room.

The two had played a joke on Casas to see how he handled himself in the ring.

Casas chose the name "Negro Casas" ("Black Casas") as his ring name and decided not to wear a mask.

1980

In Mexico, Casas is known for his work in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), wrestling sporadically for the promotion from 1980 until 2023.

Casas has also wrestled in Mexico for the Universal Wrestling Association (UWA), World Wrestling Association (WWA) and International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG).

In 1980 Casas worked a low card match at Coliseo Naucalpan against an equally young Fuerza Guerrera, the match was so well liked by the audience that they threw money into the ring to show their appreciation.

Promoter Paco Alonso even entered the ring and asked the crowd to show their appreciation for the match they just saw, earning both Negro Casas and Fuerza Guerrera a regular job with Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL).

1984

By 1984 Casas had begun working for Universal Wrestling Association, winning the UWA World Lightweight Championship from Black Terry on January 1, 1984.

Casas held the championship for 301 days before losing it to El Hijo del Santo.

The loss to El Hijo del Santo was part of a long running, very intense storyline between Casas and Hijo del Santo that drew favorable reviews and helped establish both wrestlers as future main eventers.

The storyline included Hijo del Santo forcing Negro Casas to be shaved bald after losing a Luchas de Apuestas, or bet match.

1989

In the late 1980s Negro Casas began working for the Mexican-based World Wrestling Association (WWA) where he became the first man to hold the WWA Welterweight Championship, holding it from sometime in 1987 until he was defeated by Tornado Negro on April 14, 1989.

Casas regained the title, but only held it briefly before losing again as he was leaving the WWA.

1990

By the mid 1990s Casas worked regularly for CMLL and toured Japan several times a year, wrestling for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW).

1991

Casas returned to the UWA in 1990 and on January 29, 1991, he won the UWA World Middleweight Championship from Super Astro.

Casas held the title for 787 days, finally losing it to Último Dragón.

1994

In April 1994 Casas took part in the first Super J-Cup tournament; he lost to Ricky Fuji in the first round.

1995

On December 1, 1995, Negro Casas defeated longtime rival Hijo del Santo in the finals of a tournament to crown a new NWA World Welterweight Championship.

Casas held the title for over 200 days, rarely defending until he participated in a tournament to unify 8 lightweight titles in NJPW's J-Crown tournament.

Casas put the Welterweight title on the line but lost to Shinjiro Otani in the first round.

1997

Casas and El Hijo del Santo resumed their feud in 1997, culminating in another Lucha de Apuestas between the two.

1998

Following the Apuesta loss Negro Casas and El Hijo del Santo began teaming together in 1998 and in early 1999 the team defeated Bestia Salvaje and Scorpio Jr.. by disqualification, but refused to accept the CMLL World Tag Team Championship as they did not win by pinfall.

After the refusal the title the two teams faced a few weeks later and this time Casas and Hijo del Santo won by pinfall to claim the title.

The team reigned for over 400 days, until El Hijo del Santo left CMLL; forcing Negro Casas to vacate the title.

2001

When El Hijo del Santo returned in 2001 the duo picked up where they left off by defeating Último Guerrero and Rey Bucanero to win the tag team championship once again.

2008

In 2008 Negro Casas joined with Mr. Niebla and Heavy Metal to form the group La Peste Negra (Spanish for "the Black Plague"), a group that would later be joined by El Felino.
