Adam Bridle is a South African professional wrestler better known by his ring name Angélico. He is performing for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), Lucha Underground and World Wrestling Professionals (WWP). He is a former South American Light Heavyweight Champion.
Bridle started his career in 2007 in the short-lived Pro Wrestling Alliance: Africa promotion which was co-owned by Booker T. He debuted under the name Adam Crow before changing it to Angélico, going by the nicknames The Blonde Superman and The Spanish Sensation. When PWA:Africa folded in 2007 due to internal problems, Angélico joined World Wrestling Professionals, a promotion with nationally-broadcast television shows in South Africa and India. He currently still tours with WWP and has participated in two of their television shoots, in WWP Thunderstrike and 100% De Dhana Dhan.
Angélico spent six months wrestling in Spain working for numerous independents, including Nu Wrestling Evolution (NWE). His first link to lucha libre was working with Último Dragón and Super Nova in NWE. In his NWE big show debut on 13 July 2008, Angélico lost to NWE World Champion Orlando Jordan. On 18 July 2008, he lost to Orlando Jordan in a handicap match teaming with El Nazareno. He lost to Juventud Guerrera on 20 July 2008 with Annie Social as his new valet. At an Eventos de Wrestling Europeos card on 26 July 2008, Angélico lost to LSK in an NWL Spanish Championship match. On 13 September 2008, Angélico wrestled three matches on an inter-promotional event pitting the Spanish EWE against the Mexican AAA. He defeated Luka Scott, went to a double count-out with Red Devil, and was defeated in a tag team match pairing with Octagón against Pirata Morgan and Red Devil. Angélico's final match with NWE before becoming a mainstay in Mexico came on 2 November 2008, losing to Vito.
