Esmeralda Mistica

Long feared and despised within the Lucha Libre circuit, Esmeralda Mistica remains one of the most highly lauded (and highly controversial) figures in Mexican wrestling. During her tenure in Mexico, Mistica tore through every promotion she worked for, winning numerous championships with an ostentatious, high-velocity frenzy of offense. She also grew more arrogant and violently protective of her reputation with each subsequent victory, particularly during her ruthless “reign of terror” as the AAA Reina de Reinas Champion. Her rage and preening egotism—both inside and outside of the ring—became legendary.

After her ignominious defeat to Zenobia, who stripped her of her title and relinquished it on the same night, Mistica became a more reactionary and sadistic figure, especially behind the scenes. This descent reached its nadir after a blistering on-air promo from Mariana Desaparecido (where she declared Mistica the “reina de perdedores”) led to a violent locker room altercation. Mistica overpowered Desaparecido, taking her down to the floor with an armbar right before breaking her arm in two places. This was the ignominious end of Mistica’s career in Mexico.

Since signing with EDEN-1, Mistica has regained focused, channeling her resentment and rage into becoming the best once again. She has aligned herself with Martial Law, the villainous gaijin faction started by Jocelynn Wahl, and prepares herself daily for her inevitable rematch against the woman who singlehandedly ruined her life: Zenobia.
