Carlos Elio Colosetti became a professional wrestler in his native
Argentina before travelling through all South America, Central America and North to Mexico in order to work full time as a wrestler. In Mexico he often competed under the ring name Coloso Colosetti (
Spanish for "Colossal Colosetti") and was a regular on
Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL) shows. On December 19, 1968, Colosetti's singles career peaked when he defeated
Ray Mendoza to win the
NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship, which at the time was considered the top ranked singles title in Mexico. His reign as the top champion lasted until March 20, 1970, when Ray Mendoza regained the championship. Later on Colosetti worked extensively in
Southern California, primarily for the
NWA Hollywood territory. While competing in NWA Hollywood Colosetti and
Jonathan Boyd teamed up to win the
NWA Americas Tag Team Championship from
Hector Guerrero and
Barry Orton on May 18, 1979, on a show in
Los Angeles,
California. The team only held the title for one day, losing it to a team known as The Twin Devils on the 19th. Colosetti remained active until the late 1990s, with his last national exposure being him losing a
Lucha de Apuesta match to
Perro Aguayo on June 26, 1991, and being forced to have his hair shaved off after the match per Lucha traditions. == Death ==
