Ephesto
Ephesto (born July 10, 1965) is the best known ring name of a Mexican professional wrestler working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) as Panterita del Ring. His real name has not been officially documented, a tradition in Mexican wrestling where masked wrestlers' real names often are not a matter of public record. He made his debut in 1982 and worked for almost 20 years as Pantera del Ring with limited success. He later worked under the name Safari, winning the Mexican National Trios Championship on two occasions.
His ring name "Ephesto" is derived from the Spanish name for Hephaestus, the Greek god of fire, Hefesto; in fact, his name is sometimes spelled Hefesto in print sources. Ephesto is a founding member of the stable Los Hijos del Infierno (Spanish for the Sons of the Inferno) with Averno and Mephisto. In addition to being a two-time Mexican National Trios Champion, he is a former CMLL World Light Heavyweight Champion and CMLL World Trios Champion.
