'''Alejandro Muñoz Moreno''' (October 12, 1922 – December 16, 2000), better known by the [ring name](/source/ring_name) '''Blue Demon''' (''Demonio Azul'' in [Spanish](/source/Spanish_language)), was a Mexican film [actor](/source/actor) and [professional wrestler](/source/professional_wrestler). Blue Demon is considered a legend of [professional wrestling in Mexico](/source/professional_wrestling_in_Mexico), partially from starring in a series of ''[Lucha films](/source/Lucha_films)'' between 1961 and 1979, often alongside in-ring rival [El Santo](/source/El_Santo). His in-ring career began in 1948 and stretched for 41 years until his retirement in 1989.

Throughout his career Muñoz never lost a ''[Lucha de Apuestas](/source/Lucha_de_Apuestas)'' match and retired without exposing his face to the public; he would later be buried in his signature blue and silver mask. In his 41-year career he won the [NWA World Welterweight Championship](/source/NWA_World_Welterweight_Championship) twice, the [Mexican National Welterweight Championship](/source/Mexican_National_Welterweight_Championship) three times and the [Mexican National Tag Team Championship](/source/Mexican_National_Tag_Team_Championship) with long time tag team partner [Black Shadow](/source/Black_Shadow_(wrestler)). He also won the hair of [Cavernario Galindo](/source/Cavernario_Galindo) and the masks of Espectro II, Matemático, and most notably, the mask of [Rayo de Jalisco](/source/Rayo_de_Jalisco_Sr.).

Near the end of his career Muñoz introduced [Blue Demon Jr.](/source/Blue_Demon_Jr.) to the wrestling world, who despite being promoted as the son of Blue Demon, did not actually share a blood connection to Muñoz; he was later claimed to be the "adopted son". Muñoz's actual son owns the trademarks to the name "Blue Demon", while Blue Demon Jr. owns the trademark to the "Blue Demon Jr." name. [Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre](/source/Consejo_Mundial_de_Lucha_Libre) (CMLL) honors the legacy of Blue Demon by holding the ''[Leyenda de Azul](/source/Leyenda_de_Azul)'' ("The Blue Legend") tournament at irregular intervals. He was chosen for the [Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame](/source/Wrestling_Observer_Newsletter_Hall_of_Fame) by Dave Meltzer in 1996 as part of the inaugural HOF selection.

==Early life==
{{Professional wrestling sidebar}}Alejandro Muñoz Moreno was born October 12, 1922, in [García, Nuevo León](/source/Garc%C3%ADa%2C_Nuevo_Le%C3%B3n), Mexico.<ref name=MondoDemon>{{cite book | author= Madigan, Dan | title= Mondo Lucha a Go Go: the bizarre& honorable world of wild Mexican wrestling | publisher= HarperCollins Publishers | year= 2007 | chapter = Los Enmascarados (the masked men): El Demonio Azul (the Blue Demon) | pages = 79–90| isbn=978-0-06-085583-3}}</ref> He was the child of farmers and was the fifth of twelve children. At a young age, Alejandro dropped out of school and moved to [Monterrey](/source/Monterrey), where his uncle gave him a job working on the [National Railroad](/source/Ferrocarriles_Nacionales_de_M%C3%A9xico). His co-workers gave him the nickname 'Manotas', referring to his large, powerful hands.<ref name=MondoDemon/><ref name="Lentz2001">{{cite book|author=Harris M.

==Professional wrestling career==
A chance meeting with the famous Mexican wrestler [Rolando Vera](/source/Rolando_Vera_(wrestler)) piqued his interest in [Lucha Libre](/source/Lucha_Libre), Vera even offering to tutor him and help him start a career. He began wrestling without a mask in [Laredo, Texas](/source/Laredo%2C_Texas). His first match was against Chema Lopez on March 12, 1948.<ref name=MondoDemon/> Adopting the mask and persona of The Blue Demon, he headed back to Mexico to start a full-time in-ring career. His first appearance as The Blue Demon was in [Mexico City](/source/Mexico_City) in September 1948, where he fought Benny Arcilla. Blue Demon began his career in the ring as a [rudo](/source/Heel_(professional_wrestling)) (a bad guy).<ref name=MaskedDemonProfile>{{cite book | author= Various | title= Lucha Libre: Masked Superstars of Mexican Wrestling | publisher= Distributed Art Publishers, Inc. | year= 2005 | chapter = El Demonio Azul / Blue Demon | pages = 162–186| isbn=968-6842-48-9}}</ref>

In 1952, the famous wrestler [El Santo](/source/El_Santo) beat and unmasked [Black Shadow](/source/Black_Shadow_(wrestler)) in the ring, which triggered Blue's decision to become a [técnico](/source/Face_(professional_wrestling)) (a good guy) in the ring, and a legendary feud between Blue Demon and El Santo was started.<ref name=MaskedDemonProfile/><ref name=LeyendasDemon/> The storyline feud between the two culminated with Blue Demon defeating El Santo in a well-publicized series of matches in 1952 and 1953. In 1953, Blue won the [NWA World Welterweight Championship](/source/NWA_World_Welterweight_Championship) from Santo, and held it until 1958.<ref name=MondoDemon/><ref name=NWAWelterBook/> Their rivalry never entirely abated in later years (although they co-starred in a number of Mexican horror films) since Santo always remembered his defeat at the Blue Demon's hands.<ref name=MaskedDemonProfile/><ref name=LeyendasDemon/> During the 1960s, one of Blue Demon's rivals was el Rayo de Jalisco. In 1988, the year he retired, Blue Demon defeated Jalisco in a [mask vs. mask match](/source/Professional_wrestling_match_types), taking the mask of another of Mexico's wrestling legends.<ref name=LeyendasDemon/><ref name=MaskedDemonProfile/><ref>John F.

==Acting career==
Blue Demon first appeared in cameos in a couple of [luchador films](/source/lucha_film) released in 1961–1962, "The Killers of Lucha Libre" and "Fury in the Ring", in which he was one of several wrestlers more or less in the background. But in 1964, Enrique Vergara, the producer of the then-successful Santo movies, decided to diversify by allowing the 42-year-old Blue Demon to star in a series of luchador films of his own. The plots of the Blue Demon films are thought to be extremely similar to those of Santo's films. Santo was asking for a salary increase at the time and Vergara wanted to cultivate a second movie star.<ref name="Cotter2008">{{cite book|author=Robert Cotter|title=The Mexican Masked Wrestler and Monster Filmography|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=C7rwCQAAQBAJ&pg=PA96|date=April 21, 2008|publisher=McFarland|isbn=978-1-4766-0419-0|pages=96}}</ref><ref name="Greene2012">{{cite book|author=Doyle Greene|title=Mexploitation Cinema: A Critical History of Mexican Vampire, Wrestler, Ape-Man and Similar Films, 1957–1977|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ci1zBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA86|date=May 29, 2012|publisher=McFarland|isbn=978-1-4766-0072-7|pages=85–86}}</ref> From 1964 to 1979, Blue Demon starred in a total of 25 action/horror/science fiction films. Of those 25 films, Santo co-starred with him in nine of them. In three of his films, Blue Demon starred as the leader of a squadron of masked superheroes known as ''Los Campeones Justicieros'' (The Champions of Justice). Membership in the Champions included such legendary Mexican wrestling figures as Blue Demon, [Mil Máscaras](/source/Mil_M%C3%A1scaras), [Tinieblas](/source/Tinieblas), [Rayo de Jalisco](/source/Rayo_de_Jalisco), [El Médico Asesino](/source/El_M%C3%A9dico_Asesino), El Fantasma Blanco, El Avispon Escarlata and Superzan.<ref name="MaskedDemonProfile"/> In 1989, Blue Demon was the subject of a feature-length Mexican documentary entitled ''Blue Demon, the Champion'' (1989).<ref name=MaskedDemonFilm/>

==Death==
Muñoz died just before noon on Saturday, December 16, 2000.<ref name=Canoe2000>{{cite web|url=http://www.canoe.com/SlamWrestlingInternational/mexico_timeline-can.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021117013853/http://www.canoe.com/SlamWrestlingInternational/mexico_timeline-can.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 17, 2002|title=SLAM!

Blue Demon was buried wearing his trademark blue mask, which was never removed in public as he always kept his true identity a secret.<ref name=LeyendasDemon/>
