Spain is one of the European countries with the largest number of pro wrestling fans. A clear example was the attendance to the WWE live tour in November 2018. The attendances given to the shows in Madrid and Barcelona were greater than the rest of the European cities of the tour.
The Spanish wrestling is made up of some promotions, but three have unquestionable prominence: White Wolf Wrestling (better known as Triple W), RIOT Wrestling and Revolution Championship Wrestling (RCW). The first one is located in Madrid, while the other two are located in Barcelona.
Triple W was founded in 2008 under the name No Limits Wrestling. The company was renamed White Wolf Wrestling in 2011. The vast majority of its shows are held in Madrid, but Triple W has also presented shows in cities such as León. Triple W has the La Tabacalera social-cultural center in the Lavapiés neighborhood as its main venue.
RIOT Wrestling was founded in 2015 and has not only held shows in the city of Barcelona, but also in other places in Catalonia such as Sant Adrià de Besòs, Palau-solità and Plegamans, Pineda de Mar and Cerdanyola del Vallès.
Finally, Revolution Championship Wrestling was founded in 2010 and had its show debut in 2011. However, RCW has just started to present shows frequently since 2014. Since then it has stood out for its work with other promotions such as British Empire Wrestling from England, Centro de Treinos de Wrestling from Portugal and Stardom from Japan.
Without further ado, here I leave you six Spanish wrestlers that you will know this 2019.
#6 Alex Ace
Alex Ace is a 31-year-old wrestler from Barcelona who made his wrestling debut in 2016 at Spanish Pro Wrestling. Ace has worked in Spanish promotions such as RIOT Wrestling and BCN Wrestling, as well as in France (Association Biterroise de Catch) and in Japan (DDT, WRESTLE-1 and Team Dera).
He is especially known for his physical presence since his height is 2.06 m and his weight is 115 kg. He is without a doubt the best known Powerhouse of the Spanish circuit.
Thanks to the recommendation of William Regal, Alex Ace participated in a WWE Tryout in Germany in November 2018. Ace coincided there with prestigious European wrestlers such as Ilja Dragunov, Jurn Simmons and Emil Sitoci.
The biggest achievement of his career so far was his participation at King of DDT 2018. He was eliminated in the first round by Shunma Katsumata.
#5 La Pulga
La Pulga is a 27-year-old wrestler from Barcelona who made his professional debut at Super Wrestling Alliance (later renamed as ZERO1 Spain) at the age of 17. During his career he has worked in different European promotions in France, Ireland, Scotland, Portugal and England.
He is known for his high-flyer style with a wide repertoire of aerial maneuvers. Thanks to his talent, La Pulga was working in 2012 and 2013 in Japan for Pro Wrestling ZERO1 with the name 'Dios Maradona'.
Since 2017, he has worked regularly in the Canadian circuit and has worked in nine different Canadian promotions. Mainly he has stood out by his appearances at Torture Chamber Pro Wrestling.
Among his achievements are being twice RCW Champion and once RIOT Tag Team Champion with Santiago Sangriento. His second reign as RCW Champion ended after 966 days after being defeated by BT Gunn at RCW Be Ready in May 2017.
#4 ZAYAS
ZAYAS is a wrestler totally identified with Triple W. He made his debut in 2011 and has emerged as one of the most popular wrestlers since then. His gimmick consists of a "Madridian with pedigree". He goes to the ring with a flag of the Community of Madrid as a layer and with the song Quijote by Julio Iglesias as entrance theme.
He participated at CHIKARA King of Trios 2017 with A-Kid and Carlos Romo under the name of 'House Whitewolf'. They were eliminated in the first round by British Strong Style (Pete Dunne, Trent Seven & Tyler Bate).
Between his obtained titles they are the Triple W Heavyweight Championship, Triple W Absolute Championship and Level One Championship. Level One is the development territory of Triple W.
Outside the ring, ZAYAS is known for his work as an artist comic book and art director and has worked for Marvel.
#3 Pol Badía
'Dashing' Pol Badía is a 24-year-old wrestler from Barcelona who made his debut in 2012 in Triple W, although most of his career in Spain was at Spanish Pro Wrestling. He is heel because of his gimmick consisting of a vain and arrogant wrestler.
He appeared once in England at Premier Promotions where he participated in a British Rules Tag Team Match. He and Jeffry Pac were defeated by Darrell Allen & Zack Sabre Jr.
He was the first Spanish Pro Wrestling champion. Now is the current Triple W Absolute Champion after defeating Carlos Romo at Triple W Cuenta Atrás in November 2018. Badia had only one title defense so far. It was at the historic event Triple W La Hora de la Verdad where he retained his title against Angelico.
Outside the ring, Badía participated in season 17 of the Spanish version of Big Brother, which gave him some media relevance in Spain.
#2 Carlos Romo
He is a 24-year-old wrestler who made his debut in 2014. Although he was born in Conil de la Frontera (Cádiz), he moved to Madrid when he was 8 years old. Romo not only draws attention for his impressive maneuvers both technical and aerial, but also for his charisma and his connection with the public.
His great performances have catapulted him as one of the main protagonists of the Spanish circuit with A-Kid. Romo has worked on 14 different wrestling promotions in the UK and Ireland such as ATTACK! Pro Wrestling, Progress, RevPro, Fight Club: PRO, etc.
He has been Triple W Absolute Champion, ATTACK! Tag Team Champion (with A-Kid) and twice Triple W Tag Team Champion (with Yunke and the Project Rangers)
Romo has also appeared in other prominent European promotions such as wXw in Germany or Rising Sun in Italy, as well as in the United States with CHIKARA and Warrior Wrestling. Precisely in this last promotion he had a Tag Team Match with A-Kid versus The Lucha Brothers (Penta El Zero M & Rey Fenix) on January 5, 2019. The match was so acclaimed that fans threw money into the ring.

#1 A-Kid
He is a 21-year-old wrestler from Madrid who made his debut at age 15 at Triple W. He is a natural babyface and manages both the technical style and the high-flyer. He is undoubtedly the most famous Spanish wrestler.
Like Romo, A-Kid has also appeared in the same promotions in the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States, Germany and Italy. But he has also appeared at Frontline Wrestling, promotion founded by Will Ospreay.
A-Kid has been Triple W Heavyweight Champion, Triple W Extreme Champion and three times Triple W Absolute Champion. Also, he was ATTACK! Tag Team Champion with Carlos Romo as Team WhiteWolf.
A-Kid rose to international fame after his match against Zack Sabre Jr. at Triple W Total Rumble 8 in April 2018 was rated 5 stars by Dave Meltzer seven months later. For Meltzer, this match was better than the one that A-Kid had against Ricochet at Triple W Fly High in January 2017.
