Pentagon Black


Pentagón is a lucha libre, or professional wrestling, ring character also referred to as a gimmick that has been played by a number of different people over the years. The character was created as an Evil twin of professional wrestler Octagón and is always a rudo, or heel character (A character portraying the "bad guy" in wrestling.) The character was created by AAA owner Antonio Peña in 1995, giving AAA the rights to the name "Pentagón", which meant that when wrestlers who played Pentagón left AAA they had to modify the name such as "Pentagón Black". There have been at least three distinctive versions of Pentagón

Following the introduction of the Pentagón character Peña also introduced Pentagoncito, a Mini-Estrellas of Pentagón to act as the protagonist against the Mini-Estrella Octagoncito. There has been at least two diffent people under the Pentagoncito character. In 2012 AAA introduced Octagón, Jr., which led to the introduction of Pentagón Jr. a few months later.

Trying to build on the popularity of AAA wrestler Octagón, AAA owner Antonio Peña decided to use the "Evil twin" concept and turned Jesus Andrade, previously known as Espanto, Jr. into "Pentagón", a rival and distorted mirror image of Octagón. Initially the two faced off in six man or eight man tag team matches as a way to build tension for singles matches further along the storyline. Their first encounter came at Triplemanía III-A the first of AAA's major shows of 1995 when Octagón teamed with Konnan, Perro Aguayo and La Parka to defeat the team of Pentagón, Cien Caras, Máscara Año 2000 and Jerry Estrada although without Pentagón and Octagón being involved in the finish of the match. One week late at Triplemanía III-A Octagón teamed up with El Hijo del Santo, Rey Misterio, Jr. and La Parka to defeat Pentagón, Blue Panther, Psicosis and Fuerza Guerrera. Again Octagón and Pentagón were not involved in the finish of the match but faced off several times in the ring to further the storyline. In early 1996, Andrade suffered an injury, during a match with La Parka where he was clinically dead for a moment in the middle of the ring but brought back to life. The injury, coupled with his age, forced Andrade to retire from wrestling. Since the Pentagón character wore a mask to cover his entire face it was decided to give the character to another wrestler who then became Pentagón.
