Skándalo (Born in 1982 in Mexico City, Mexico) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) portraying a rudo ("bad guy") wrestling character. Skándalo's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. He has revealed that he is the son of Juan Manuel Mar, who is part of CMLL's booking team.
Skándalo is the son of Juan Manuel Mar who used to wrestle under the ring name Panico, and is often referred to as such even after his retirement from the ring. Manuel Mar is part of Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's (CMLL) booking team and thus is one of the men that plan the matches and storylines of the promotion. He is a third generation wrestler as both his paternal and maternal grandfathers, Manuel Robles and Raul Reyes, were wrestlers as well. His great uncles include wrestlers Huroki Sito, Sugi Sito and Panchito Robles, his uncles wrestle as El Jabato and Zapatista while his second cousins Victor Mar Manuel (who worked as Black Cat until his death), Panchito Robles Jr., La Briosa also were or are wrestlers.
While Skándalo is the son of a former wrestler he was not trained by his father, instead he was trained by two of CMLL's trainers Tony Salazar and Ringo Mendoza before his debut on August 20, 2004. After gaining experience on the Mexican independent circuit he began working regularly for CMLL in 2006, working low level matches as a rudo ("bad guy" wrestling character). On October 2, 2007 he participated in that year's Reyes del Aire ("Kings of the Air") tournament, but was the first man eliminated in the 12-man torneo cibernetico.
