Óscar Omar Puentes Molgado (born August 19, 1977) is a Mexican Luchador (professional wrestler) under the ring name El Ángel (Spanish for "the Angel"). Puentes worked under the ring name Óscar Sevilla from 1997 until 2005 where he adopted the "El Ángel" ring character. He is manly known for his work in the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) which he worked for until mid-2009. He current works on the Mexican independent circuit and makes regular appearances for the Los Perros del Mal and International Wrestling Revolution Group promotions amongst others and occasionally works a El Novillero ("The Apprentice Bullfighter").
Óscar Puentes made his professional wrestling debut for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) in 1997, working under the ring name "Óscar Sevilla", he adopted the ring character of a Bullfighter, similar to El Torero who was quite popular at the time. While El Torero portrayed a seasoned bullfighter Sevilla played the part of a novice bullfighter, earning him the nickname El Novillero (the Spanish term for a novice bullfighter). Being young and unseasoned AAA decided to pair him up with Gran Apache and a group of seasoned rudós (bad guys or heels) to help him improve in the ring. Sevilla began a feud with the Gran Apache's led group of wrestlers that also included R-15, Cuerno de Chivo, Magnum 357 and Mohicano. On April 24, 1998 Sevilla defeated Mohicano in a Lucha de Apuesta match, winning the right to shave Mohicano bald after the match per. Lucha Libre traditions. At Triplemanía VI teamed with Charly Manson losing to Venum and R-15. The storyline between Sevilla and Gran Apache's group continued throughout 1998, resulting in Sevilla teaming up with Niño de la Calle to win a Lucha de Apuesta match over Tony and Luis Cirio on December 25, 1998. In early 1999 Sevilla qualified for the 1999 Rey de Reyes tournament, but was eliminated by Latin Lover in the semi-final. The long running storyline with Gran Apache reached a critical point on March 31, 2000 when Sevilla defeated him in a Lucha de Apuesta match, shaving him bald after the match only to be beaten up by Gran Apache. The final match in the storyline came at Triplemanía VIII where Gran Apache defeated Sevila in a one on one match. At Triplemanía IX Sevilla, Blue Demon, Jr. and El Hijo del Solitario lost to Los Exoticos (May Flowers, Pimpinela Escarlata and Polvo de Estrellas) in one of the undercard matches on the show.
