Hechicero

[7.0] "Hechicero is a very decent luchador, I've seen some good matches from him, but sometimes when he's in multi-men tag matches, he's always the pin guy for Don Callis Family. Some matches I've seen aren't that good, but the matches that he shines in, are very good showings for him."

[7.0] "Hechicero is a great talent in the world of luchadors and probably my favorite CMLL guy. Two months ago I gave him an eight which is a higher number but his AEW appearances has definitely dropped my rating a little bit because he wasn't himself"

[9.0] "A definite standout performer in AEW last year, with that momentum swinging supremely well into this year. He manages to do the lucha shit despite being a larger man & it's definitely on that Beast Mortos level of truly being something to experience. He's like a big brick wall of badassery. Super gnarly, high-impact moveset & a very menacing presence. So gnarly!"

[10.0] "Since 2016 probably the greatest peak llaveo style wrestler of the new millennium, tied with ZSJ one of his greatest rivals. I am talking about Rey Hechicero! The legendary man had wrestled Negro Navarro, Bryan Danielson, Daniel Garcia, Nigel McGuinness & Blue Panther all in one decade across subsequently 4 different promotions! A headliner of Arena Mexico! While CMLL is the home he will stay, he isnt worried about going sleep overs in AEW, MLW, REVPRO, NJPW & even the OG & AEW/ROH wrestling. IIaveo style belongs to HECHICERO!"

[9.0] "Anybody who can match silky smooth mat work with outstanding lucha craziness is gonna get a big score from me, and Hechicero is one of the best guys doing that today. Just a complete package luchador."

[8.0] "A very good technical wrestler in the ring. He looks larger than most of the luchadores he competes against, but he is extremely athletic. He combines the high paced lucha modern style with the older traditional technical lucha libre. I cannot judge his promo as I don't speak Spanish."

[10.0] "That's a bold take, and I love the passion! Bryan Danielson and Zack Sabre Jr. are absolute technical wizards, no question. But calling Hideo Itami (Kenta Hoshino) the best technical wrestler ever based on those 10-15 matches is huge praise--his precision and intensity are unreal. What is it about Hoshino's style that puts him at the top for you over legends like Bryan or ZSJ? Any specific matches of his that sealed the deal? And since you're big on technical wrestling, got any other under-the-radar faves in that style?"

[10.0] "One of the best technical luchadors and wrestlers right now. One of the reasons I've actually gotten invested in lucha libre outside of the incredible athleticism that most luchadors are capable of (Mistico, Mascara Dorada etc). This man has submissions that look nearly impossible, and a smoothness to everything he does, like his step-up knee strike or his ways of transitioning into his signature moves, especially his transitions into El Conjura. I look forward to seeing him anytime he's booked in singles or tag bouts because I know I'll be in for some masterful technicality, rivalled only by a Zack Sabre Jr or a Bryan Danielson."

[10.0] "The greatest luchador to ever do technical wrestling. If you haven't seen his stuff, I automatically recommend his bouts with Zack Sabre Jr (another great technician) or the TV match with Bryan Danielson (the best wrestler alive)."

[9.0] "Probably my favorite guy from CMLL, just think he's so good that even his "mediocre" matches are so fun to watch. He really embodies charisma and pulls off a character that should kinda stink. He has terrific creative offense, and he's a bright spot on any card he's featured on. Really really good speaker too, and he's had good matches all over the world."

[8.0] "I hadn't see such a unique style of holds & agility til I seen Hechicero in action! He truly lives up to the of The Mad Scientist making any match a great one you don't wanna miss that instantly made me a fan!"

[10.0] "Hechicero is a very unique power based luchador who excells at everything. His ROH debut would be a great way to get exposure, a joy to watch on the mexican indie scene and in cmll. EDIT: Eight years later and the world finally knows"

[9.0] "After so many years watching all types of wrestling I thought that all the moves were already created and this guy appears and suddenly he uses 10 totally new ones, this guy is great, a spectacular technician and has an interesting gimmick, if you know Spanish you will see what he has a great charisma but in the United States he will not be able to demonstrate it due to the language barrier, I hope AEW calls him more times."

[9.0] "Hechicero is one of the best and most exciting technical wrestlers in the entire world. He is able to so fluidly and expertly fuse two styles that always seem to be opposites and contradictive into something so unique and so exciting to watch. His match with Bryan Danielson was one of the most exiciting and best AEW television matches I think ever, and he is somebody I really want to see more of in the bigger promotions to show off his skills. For now, I only ever see in CMLL shows or co-branded shows, and I would love for him to have a long run in somewhere like a New Japan against the likes of DOUKI and Desperado and other Jr. Heavyweights. Or heck have him go up against the larger guys and go on a great run in the Never Open picture. Would be very exciting."

[10.0] "One of the best in-ring workers in the world today, he'd surely be in my top 5 minimum there. Every time I see him wrestle live I'm seeing something new or exciting. Seemingly can have a great match with just about anyone and anchored the 91 Anniversario mask match which is one of the best bouts of 2024."

[10.0] "Amazing, Emotional. Beautiful. Watch this. Words cannot describe it, and Clips would not do it justice."

[9.0] "He is the perfect example that you can carry the old and new style of Lucha Libre, a spectacular technical wrestler with good aerial movements and has a few "own" techniques that make him stand out, due to his weight he is very agile, charismatic and He has that aura of a masked wrestler that no one knows but you want to see fight, I don't know his level of English in order to be more mainstream with the more casual audience but it is still interesting."

[10.0] "Quite possibly the second greatest wrestler to ever come out of Nuevo Leon, and the only reason he is not the first is that the man above him is one of the most legendary men in the entire history of this sport. A certain wrestler likes to say he went from undesirable to undeniable, but Hechicero should be the real owner of that quote as this year he has gone from being taken for granted in CMLL to being given some of the biggest chances any wrestler can get including an Aniversario Apuestas match. Whenever Hechicero has a match, you know he will put his most into it and do his best to get a good match out of whoever he is wrestling. He is simply one of the best ever."

[9.0] "He has an amazing look and charisma, he is such a talented rudo, and his presence really adds to a match he is in, the best of the Los Infernales team. He has provided a lot of the best matches in CMLL of 2022, I did not know he was before then, but now I know who he is, he is one of the most enjoyable acts in all of CMLL."

[8.0] "In my opinion Hechicero's greatest asset is not so much his in-ring skill, as great as it is, but how amazingly varied his arsenal his. Besides being extremely adept at improvisation, he seems to have an almost encyclopedic knowledge of holds: I've seen him do stuff only very original workers like Super Muñeco have done before. It's almost scary how he can pull moves out of a hat to vary his moveset from one match to the next: it's a good thing CMLL picked him up but he really needs more international exposure, especially in singles matches."

[10.0] "I think Hechicero is the most undervalued, underrated, and less known talent in the business. Check out his match vs Zack Sabre Jr, or really any match that he's in. Very solid in-ring work!"

[10.0] "Great Monterrey luchadore who has gained a spot in CMLL due his top level matches. He deserves a great place in CMLL top cards and is the next bigger Monterrey star in last times after Hector Garza (†)."
