Profile
A mexican wrestling legend, In 1958, he donned the mask of La Sombra Vengadora, a character who had appeared in several lucha libre films. The actor Armando Silvestre played Sombra Vengadora's alter ego (whose name was coincidentally Rogelio) while in the action scenes Fernando Oses played the enmascarado hero, but Oses never performed Sombra Vengadora in the rings due to time constraints. For this reason Rogelio de la Paz assumed the gimmick.
It is probable that Sombra Vengadora is the most long-lived professional wrestler of the world, his in ring career was of at least 63 years. In Argentina wrestled unmasked as Pancho Juarez in the promotion Lucha Libre Profesional with Wolf Rubinsky as promoter.
