Sangre Azteca (Spanish for "Aztec Blood") (born October 5, 1975) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler currently working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). Sangre Azteca's real name is not revealed in public, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. He is part of the rudo stable "Poder Mexica" along with Dragon Rojo Jr. and Misterioso, Jr..
After getting trained by Scorpio and Raúl Reyes, he made his debut at the age of 21 and had a win during his debut match.EMLL (now CMLL) found an interest in him and signed him away from International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG). While there he became in a group call "Grupo Cibernetico" of young wrestlers that train together under the guidance of head trainers Guillermo "Memo" Díaz and Negro Casas, that taught them both pro and amateur style wrestling. On July 16, 1999, he teamed with Fugaz to defeat Ricky Marvin and Sombra de Plata in a Lightning Match that stole the show and all four youngsters got a standing ovation from the crowd. The success of this match was so big that all four guys wrestled at CMLL's 66th Anniversary show on September 24, 1999, but in this big event the rudo team lost. Sangre Azteca made his Japanese debut on November 23, 1999, losing to Ricky Marvin, who was also debuting, during a CMLL Japan show. The rivalry continues as of March 17, 2000, Sangre Azteca wrestled Ricky Marvin in a three falls match that Marvin won. His year as a rookie skyrocketed when he won a Luchas de Apuestas (bet match), defeating Pegaso II for his mask on July 3, 2000. Later in 2002, he won the Distrito Federal Tag Team Championship teaming with Ramstein (Fugaz under a new mask and name). They lost the title two years later, in 2004, to Los Rayos Tapatio.
