Damián 666

Damián 666 is a Mexican professional wrestler who has been a fixture in lucha libre since the 1980s. Known for his hard-hitting, brawling style, he has competed across Mexico, Japan, and the United States in promotions like AAA, CMLL, FMW, ECW, and WCW. Over four decades, he has held multiple tag team and trios championships and remains an active presence on the independent circuit. His son, Bestia 666, has followed him into the ring, making wrestling a family affair. [edit]

Born in Tijuana, Carrera was not an early fan of lucha libre. His mother took him to shows at Arena Coliseo in Guadalajara, where the muscular wrestler Aníbal left a lasting impression. As a youth, Carrera excelled at soccer and was a star player. His path to wrestling took an unexpected turn after a knife fight incident; seeking to learn self-defense, he enrolled in a wrestling school. He trained under Luis Canales, Diablo Velasco, and Rey Misterio Sr. Carrera made his professional debut in 1982 under the ring name Caballero 2000. He later performed as Ultraman 2000 and Ultraman II, adopting a superhero gimmick that he would eventually lose in a mask match. [edit]

Carrera's breakthrough came in 1991 when Japanese hardcore icon Atsushi Onita saw him wrestle in Tijuana and brought him to Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling in Japan. There, Onita transformed his gimmick into the darker Damián 666, pairing him with The Sheik and Sabu. In 1996, he competed in ECW, facing Sabu, Raven, and Chris Jericho. The following year, he worked in WCW as the masked Galaxy and later as Damien. Back in Mexico, he formed the tag team Mexico's Most Wanted with Halloween, terrorizing opponents in AAA, CMLL, and independent promotions. He has won multiple tag team and trios titles, including the AAA World Tag Team Championship and the CMLL Tag Team Championship. As of 2026, he continues to wrestle on the independent circuit, occasionally sharing the ring with his son Bestia 666. [edit]

Damián 666 is known for his hard-hitting, brawling style that blends Mexican lucha libre with Japanese and American hardcore wrestling. He has a reputation for toughness and versatility, having worked in everything from traditional trios matches to ultraviolent deathmatches. Fans appreciate his longevity and willingness to cross borders, both literally and stylistically. [edit]

Damián 666 has spent four decades building a reputation in the hardcore corners of lucha libre, yet his global footprint remains that of a cult icon rather than a mainstream household name. As of August 2026, iFANN's Global Fame Engine has evaluated his career but does not currently place him among the published rankings, neither the Global Top 1,000 nor any Top-100 scope list. His renown is concentrated within wrestling's diehard communities, where his name carries weight as a pioneer of extreme matches and a loyal soldier of Los Perros del Mal.

His fanbase, while passionate, has no formal name. There is no documented collective identifier, no 'Damianitas' or '666ers', and no organized fan clubs or coordinated campaigns. Instead, his support comes from a scattered network of lucha libre aficionados and followers of the Perros del Mal faction, who appreciate his willingness to bleed for the craft. He engages with them directly at independent shows and festivals, like his June 2024 appearance at the Long Beach Taco and Tequila Festival, where he was billed for what was promoted as his 'final match.' His Instagram, where he calls himself 'La bestia del apocalipsis,' offers a glimpse into his persona to his roughly 20,000 followers.[edit]

Before the ring, Damián 666 was a soccer standout, but a knife fight redirected his path toward wrestling. He has competed under at least seven ring names, including Caballero 2000, Ultraman 2000, and Amigo Ultra. His signature move is the Martinette, and he counts earning his professional wrestling license as a career highlight because of its difficulty.

His legacy is inseparable from Los Perros del Mal, the faction he helped found in CMLL. The group's story is marked by tragedy, leader Perro Aguayo Jr. died in 2015 after an in-ring accident, and Damián 666 has carried its torch ever since. In August 2026, at age 65, he officially rejoined the faction at AAA's Verano de Escándalo, a moment that resonated deeply with fans who grew up watching the original lineup.

He has also become a symbol of wrestling's never-say-die ethos. After a 2024 festival billed his match as his 'final,' he kept competing, appearing at GCW events and signing for a match against Matt Tremont in November 2025. His late-career WWE signing in 2026, at 65, only added to the legend of a man who simply refuses to stay away.[edit]

Carrera's son, Bestia 666, is a professional wrestler who competes internationally. They have shared the ring together, a moment Carrera cites as a career highlight. No details about his parents, siblings, or current household are publicly available. [edit]

Damián 666 is frequently associated with Halloween as his long-time tag team partner in Mexico's Most Wanted. He also worked closely with Atsushi Onita, The Sheik, and Sabu in FMW, and faced Chris Jericho, Raven, and Psicosis in ECW. His son Bestia 666 is a fellow wrestler. [edit]

No public information is available about Damián 666's romantic relationships or marriages. The only confirmed family relationship is with his son, Bestia 666. As of 2026, his relationship status is not publicly reported. [edit]

As a veteran independent wrestler, Damián 666's net worth is not publicly tracked by major financial outlets. iFANN's editorial analysis currently estimates his net worth in 2026 at around $1 million. This figure reflects his decades-long career across multiple countries and promotions, with income drawn from match fees, merchandise sales, and appearances on the independent circuit.[edit]

Damián 666 received the Cauliflower Alley Club Lucha Award, a notable honor recognizing his contributions to lucha libre. He has won multiple tag team and trios championships across various promotions. [edit]
