Olímpico

Who is Olímpico?

Joel Bernal Galicia is a Mexican Luchador, or professional wrestler, better known under the ring name Olímpico. Olímpico is sometimes Anglicised as "Olympico", and means "Olympian" in Spanish. From his debut in 1992 until late 2008 Olímpico worked for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre; since then he has worked for promotions including Perros del Mal, International Wrestling Revolution Group, World Wrestling Alliance and other promotions on the Mexican independent circuit before returning to CMLL in mid-2010 as part of Los Invasores. For many years Olimpico's real name was not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. He was unmasked on September 3, 2010, and had to reveal his real name as is traditional.
