The Beast Mortos recently made headlines when it was reported he was dating fellow AEW wrestler Mercedes Moné, with the former WWE star amusingly calling it “a real beauty and the beast situation.” And now proving the popular luchador is full of surprises, the 38-year-old has divulged on X that he previously worked in a mortuary for around two years, applying makeup to corpses, indicating he is far from squeamish.
The masked wrestler initially broke into the wrestling business under the name Semental in 2016. From there, he worked for several Mexican promotions as Black Taurus before receiving his big break in the United States via Impact Wrestling, which was facilitated by their working relationship with AAA. However, once he decided to depart AAA to sign with AEW full-time, he had to give up the Black Taurus gimmick because he did not own it. This would therefore see him become The Beast Mortos, debuting the reimagined character at ROH’s 2024 Supercard of Honor event.
