Villano IV loses mask at AAA Triplemania XXX

Pentagon Jr. defeated Villano IV at Saturday’s Triplemania XXX, taking his mask.

Villano was defeated after Pentagon snapped his arm for the third time in what ended up being an emotional, bloody brawl. After the match, Villano unmasked in front of an emotional crowd, identifying himself as Tomas Diaz Mendoza, 57, who has been wrestling for 42 years.

With the loss, Villano IV is officially the “winner” of the Ruleta De La Muerte tournament, in which the losers of each tournament match would advance, with the final match being a mask vs. mask match. Villano had lost to LA Park and Psycho Clown to make it to the finals, while Pentagon Jr. lost to Ultimo Dragon and Blue Demon Jr..

Along with their runs in CMLL and AAA, Villano IV and V are also known for their run in WCW, starting with the company in 1996 and wrestling for them through 2000. Villano V was unmasked in 2009, losing to Ultimo Guerrero at that year’s CMLL Homenaje de Leyendas event.
