Pablo Fuentes Reyna (December 31, 1956 – January 12, 2012) was a Mexican luchador (Spanish for professional wrestler) best known under the ring name MS-1 (MS Uno). As MS-1, Fuentes was a founding member of the wrestling group called Los Infernales (the Infernals) and achieved most of his success as part of the group, including being the first-ever Mexican National Trios Champions and the first-ever CMLL World Trios Champions. Fuentes' son is also a professional wrestler working as MS-1 Jr. or MS-Jr.
Reyna made his professional wrestling debut on July 12, 1978 at the age of 21, wrestling under his real name Pablo Fuentes. Within a year the rookie began working for Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL), Mexico's largest professional wrestling promotion. EMLL decided that Fuentes needed a different ring persona and created the character "MS-1" for him; MS refers to a Mexican Antiterrorist corps where MS-1 is the highest rank. Fuentes was teamed up with another wrestler who was given the name "MS-2", both of them adopted identical masks and outfits, only differentiated by the "1" and "2" on their tights. In March 1979 MS-1 and MS-2 made their in ring debut. while Fuentes showed great in-ring skill, MS-2 did not seem to progress as fast as Fuentes and was phased out in less than a year allowing "MS-1" to work as a singles wrestler. In his first scripted feud MS-1 faced off against Rayo de Jalisco Jr. in a series of heated matches, culminating in a Luchas de Apuestas match, a "bet match" where each competitor wagered his mask. On July 2, 1982 MS-1 lost the match and was forced to unmask per Lucha Libre traditions; the loss of the mask did not hinder his popularity any, partly because the mask was described as "very ugly" and partly because Fuentes was a good looking man. After the storyline with Rayo de Jalisco Jr. ended MS-1 was paired up with Sangre Chicana in a very heated feud that often saw one or both men end the match with blood all over their face. The end of the storyline between MS-1 and Sangre Chicana saw Chicana defeate MS-1 in a Luchas de Apuestas match, after which MS-1 had all his hair shaved off.
