Juan Carlos Contreras Uribe (born January 16, 1975 in Mexico City, Mexico), better known under the ring name Apocalipsis, is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) portraying a rudo ("Bad guy") wrestling character. He previously worked under the ring name El Koreano.
Juan Contreras made his in ring debut on February 11, 2000 after training under Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) wrestling trainers Tony Salazar and Jose Luis Feliciano. He adopted the ring name El Koreano for his wrestling character, a martial arts inspired character that supposedly was from South Korea. Early in his career as El Koreano, Contreras worked a storyline feud against Ricky Marvin, a storyline that resulted in the two fighting each other under Lucha de Apuestas, or "bet match", rule where each participant would be either their wrestling mask or hair on the outcome of the match. Marvin won, which meant that the unmasked Koerano was forced to have all his hair shaved off in front of the audience in attendance. In 2004 CMLL created the Guapos University ("Hansome University"), or Guapos U, a storyline similar to various reality show contests such as the WWE Tough Enough show, searching for a new member to join Shocker, Máscara Mágica and El Terrible as part of Los Guapos. The contestants included El Koreano in addition to Sangre Azteca, Alan Stone, Chris Stone, El Texano, Jr., Misterioso, Jr., Brazo de Oro, Jr., Brazo de Plata, Jr., Fabian El Gitano, Tigre Metálico, Lestat, Leono, Lobo Vikingo, Maximo, Karissma, Espiritu Maligno and Sangre Azteca. The group would participate in a series of matches as Los Guapos tried to determine a winner worthy of joining their ranks. The matches included a tournament for Guapos U contestants only, where the winning team would get the Mexican National Trios Championship. The tournament was won by Misterioso, Jr., Brazo de Oro, Jr. and El Texano, Jr. although they were unable to win the Championship when they received their championship match. During one of CMLL's shows El Terrible turned on the group and was joined by Último Guerrero in the attack on the rest of Los Guapos. El Koreano and fellow Guapo U member Sangre Azteca prevented the rest of the group from stopping the attack, leading to the two them being kicked out of the group. Guerrero immediately took both El Koreano and Sangre Azteca under his wing, forming Pandilla Guerrera ("Gang of Warriors"), a mid-card group associated with Último Guerrero's Los Guerreros del Infierno group. Sangre Azteca soon became the leader of the group that besides El Koreano also included Ramstein, Hooligan, Nitro, Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max and Doctor X. In June 2005 Contreras wrestled his last match under the "El Koreano" name.
