The Casas Family
Updated version of the page.
The Casas family is a famous lucha libre family spanning three generations.
Bio
Pepe Casas, a former wrestler, trainer and referee, is the father of the dynasty.
Negro Casas was the first son to debut, followed by Felino and Heavy Metal. Negro went on to become a long-time main eventer for CMLL. Felino became a solid midcard to upper-midcard performer for CMLL. Heavy Metal went on to become a midcarder and sometimes main eventer for both AAA and CMLL.
In the 2000's, the third generation of the family began to appear in wrestling with Puma King and Tiger becoming midcard CMLL wrestlers and are so far the most successful of the third generation of the Casas family. Canelo Casas is sometimes seen on lower card of smaller CMLL shows.
There are said to be more members of the family in wrestling.

Other
Pepe Casas has 5 daughters who did not get into wrestling.[1]
Dalis La Caribeña, Princesa Blanca & wrestling reporter Cynthia Palacios are[2] related via marriage to Negro Casas, Felino & Heavy Metal, respectively. Dalys' family Veneno, Vudu Max, Chacho Medina & (possibly) Keshin Black can thus furthermore be counted, by technicality.
Likewise, Negro Casas' daughters married various wrestlers. Namely; Diamante, Delta, Black Warrior Jr.[3] & Psycho Clown. The Diamante relationship ended by 2014, and Warrior Jr. died in 2022. His marriage to Omaraida "Omii" Casas[4] connected their two families. Likewise, Psycho Clown's marriage to Zoraida Casas connects the Casas Family to the Brazo Family.
Negro Casas' three[5] daughters started training in Olympic wrestling themselves in 2007, alongside Dalys. And were still training by late 2009.[6] None of them seemed to transition to lucha libre themselves, however.
Negro Casas has at least 6 grandchildren, seemingly 2 from each daughter: 2 grandsons - Yoani & Jose[5] - through Zoraida (one of whom was born in February/March 2016),[7] a grandson & granddaughter - Maila Aurora[8] - through Omii,[9][10] and 2 granddaughters presumably via his 3rd daughter (one of whom is named Isabella).[5]
Puma King was married to a woman named Barby Villela during 2018, and made regular vlogs with her. They presumably divorced, due to her subsequent marriage to Flip Gordon.
