History Wrestling / Psicosis

'''Dionicio Castellanos Torres''' (b. 1971) is a UsefulNotes/{{Mexic|o}}an {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er best known for his work in the 1990s in Mexico, Japan, Wrestling/{{ECW}} and Wrestling/{{WCW}} as '''Psicosis'''. He started his career in 1989 as '''El Salvaje'''. He changed his name to Psicosis and began his epic feud with Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr. He would compete for Wrestling/{{AAA}} (where he currently works) almost exclusively, while making a few appearances in Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling before he and Rey made their [=ECW=] debut at ''ECW Gangstas Paradise''. He made his [=PPV=] debut at ''[=AAA=] When Worlds Collide'' teaming with Fuerza Guerrera and "[=Madonna's=] Boyfriend" Louie Spicolli in a win over Rey, Heavy Metal and Fuerza Guerrera.

* AbortedArc: In 1999, Psychosis had been having trouble with Raven's Flock, and he had a match against former arch enemy Ultimo Dragon. So when the match ended up at ringside in front of the Flock, they attacked Psychosis. Ultimo Dragon came to his aid, and Psych and Dragon ended up standing back to back running the Flock off. So naturally, the whole thing ground was never mentioned again after that.

%%* FragileSpeedster: Against heavyweights. Against wrestlers his own size he was nearly a LightningBruiser - had a great powerbomb and a lariat.

He arrived in WCW in 1996 as Psychosis, debuting in a loss to Wrestling/{{Konnan}} at ''WCW Clash of the Champions XXXII'' on January 23. He continued his feud with Rey, making his WCW [=PPV=] debut in a loss to him at ''WCW Bash at the Beach'', and also feuded with Wrestling/UltimoDragon - unfortunately for Psychosis he never beat Misterio on PPV and never ''once'' beat Dragon during the feud [[note]]he'd defeat Dragon via DQ two years after the feud ended when Raven's Flock attacked him during a match[[/note]]. He had two reigns as [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-c.html WCW World Cruiserweight Champion]]. For the second one, he was simply announced as Champion [[RealLifeWritesThePlot due to [=GLAAD=]'s protests over Lenny Lane, the previous Champ, and Lodi's "West Hollywood Blondes" gimmick]]. Psicosis promptly lost the belt a week later to [[Wrestling/GlennGilbertti Disco Inferno]].

Among his in-ring achievements, he is a former [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/mexico/aaa/aaa-t.html AAA World Tag Team Champion]] (as Nicho el Millionario - see AAA Owns This Name below) and a 2x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/mexico/mex-6.html Mexican National Trios Champion]].

* [[DisneyOwnsThisTrope AAA Owns This Name]]: Much like Wrestling/LaParka, he was forced to change his name, in his case to Nicho el Millionario, because, in his absence, [=AAA=] had created a second [=Psicosis=].

* TheChewToy: Mr. Torres got ''way'' more than his share of bad breaks. Cancelled push after cancelled push, being forced to lose a title he never won ''twice''. The second one was the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/japan/newjapan/iwgp-j.html New Japan IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title]], which Juventud had won from Wrestling/JushinThunderLiger. Juvi had been {{Kayfabe}} injured and Psicosis was named to defend the title against Liger in the rematch. The real story was that Juvi and Jerry Flynn had been arrested for drunk driving. Liger defeated Psicosis, of course. To top it off, NJPW now acknowledge Juvi - but not Psicosis - as having held the title. He also lost what would have been his most significant win over Rey Misterio - a mask vs mask match in CMLL where Psicosis was planned to win was cancelled when Misterio unmasked in WCW and CMLL forbade Misterio from wrestling masked.

** (in AAA): ''La Sociedad'' with LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters.
** ''La Legion Extranjera'', same as above
** ''Los Perros del Mal''

* WrestlingFamily: He has a brother who wrestles in Mexico as Fobia.

* FragileSpeedster: Against heavyweights. Against wrestlers his own size he was nearly a LightningBruiser - had a great powerbomb and a lariat.

* FanNickname: When he returned to AAA and began feuding with the AAA's Psicosis, fans nicknamed him "Psicosis I" and the imposter "Psicosis II".

* ArchEnemy: Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr. From the time they both debuted in wrestling until Psicosis got fired from WWE.

* CoolShades: After unmasking

* TheChewToy: Mr. Torres got ''way'' more than his share of bad breaks. Cancelled push after cancelled push, being forced to lose a title he never won ''twice''.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
** His [[WrestlingFamily brother]] wrestles in Mexico as Fobia, which also qualifies for this trope.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: It's ''Psicosis,'' not ''Psychosis.''

* WorkedShoot: His initial return to AAA and feud with Psicosis II over the gimmick started as one of these.
* WrestlingFamily: His brother, who wrestles in Mexico as [=Fobia=].

WCW released him in early 2000 as the company was going through bad financial problems. He briefly returned to [=ECW=] where he had a famous and acclaimed match with Wrestling/YoshihiroTajiri that aired on ECW's syndicated show and was included on the ''ECW Deep Impact'' [=DVD=]. He would compete for WWAS, Wrestling/{{TNA}}, Wrestling/AllJapanProWrestling, [=AAA=]'s rival Wrestling/{{CMLL}} and other independents until arriving in Wrestling/{{WWE}} in 2005 as a member of '''The [=Mexicools=]''' with Juventud (Guerrera) and Super Crazy. The team would feud with the [[Wrestling/StevieRichards Blue]] [[Wrestling/TheBlueMeanie World]] [[Wrestling/MikeBucci Order]] as well as challenge for the Cruiserweight Title. Psicosis was released in October 2006 (see RoleEndingMisdemeanor on the Trivia page) and would briefly return to CMLL until he suffered a shattered nose in a match with El Hijo del Santo. He returned to [=AAA=] in 2007 and has been there ever since.
