Jesús Daniel Castillo Ortiz Jr. (born July 15, 1962) is a professional wrestler, and son of a professional wrestler, best known in his native Puerto Rico as Huracan Castillo. He competed in the World Wrestling Federation as a member of the Hispanic stable Los Boricuas in the late 1990s.
Castillo has wrestled most of his career in Puerto Rico working for the World Wrestling Council, Americas Wrestling Federation, International Wrestling Association, New Wrestling Stars, and All Japan Pro Wrestling as the masked El Olimpico. He is the son of Pedro Castillo, known as "Huracan Castillo", a wrestler who fought in Canada, Japan, the United States and Puerto Rico in the 1970s.
Castillo got his start wrestling in 1984 as a jobber as Huracan Castillo Jr. and later teamed with Miguel Perez as the Puerto Rican Express winning the WWC Caribbean Tag Team Championship three times and the WWC World Tag Team Championship one time. In 1989 Castillo and Pérez teamed The Caribbean Express (Daniel Castillo & Jose Pérez) in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
In 1991, Castillo turned heel on his partner Miguel Perez. Castillo took Monster Ripper as his manager and fought with Perez until Castillo went to the Americas Wrestling Federation AWF and became the AWF World Heavyweight Champion. After the death of his father, Huracan Castillo Sr. in 1993, Castillo took a small break from wrestling but returned to the World Wrestling Council. He then began fighting with Carlos Colon, Invader I and Ray Gonzalez. Became a babyface again after an incident when "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert burned Castillo with a fireball to the face.
