Canelo Casas (born 1982 in Mexico City, Mexico, currently residing in Cuernavaca, Morelos) is the ring name of a Mexican luchador, or professional wrestler currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) portraying a rudo ("Bad guy") wrestling character. His birth name has not been revealed, but he is a member of the extensive Casas wrestling family and a third generation luchador, being the grandson of wrestler-turned-referee Pepe Casas and the nephew of Negro Casas, El Felino and Heavy Metal. Heavy Metal originally wrestled as Canelo Casas, but this Casas claims to not be a son but a nephew of the original Canelo Casas. He has previously worked as the masked character "Bengala" as well as "Canelo Casas, Jr."
Casas was born in 1982 in Mexico City, Mexico as part of the extensive "Casas wrestling family". His grand father is José Casas Granados, better known under the ring name Pepe Casas. While he uses the same ring name that Erick Casas (best known as "Heavy Metal") he claims that Erick is not his father but his uncle. His father, who is not a wrestler, is a sibling of Erick, José (best known as Negro Casas) and Jorge (known as El Felino) Casas. His cousins, sons of Jorge Casas, compete in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) under the ring names Tiger and Puma, two enmascarados, or masked wrestlers. He is the nephew of retired wrestler Princesa Blanca and active CMLL women's wrestler Dalys la Caribeña. Casas received extensive training from both his grandfather Pepe and his uncle José Casa before his in ring debut.
