His real name is Santiago Ibarra Calder車n but he is better known by his ring name Mr Iguana. He made his in-ring debut in Mexico on the independent circuit in 2009 and soon emerged as a force to reckon with in the country. A veteran in his own right, he signed with AAA in 2020 and soon became its Mixed Tag Champion with La Hiedra

He is one of the few Mexican luchadors who uses face paint instead of a mask, which is an integral part of Lucha Libre.

What did Mr Iguana do at Worlds Collide?

Mr Iguana teamed up with Aero Star and Octagon Jr to defeat WWE＊s LWO and Lince Dorado in a six-man tag match. He brought his A-game to the table and even shared a few moments with Yesca, his quirky hand puppet. Mr Iguana, however, was not involved the decisive fall as that honour went to Octagon Jr when he pinned Lince Dorado for the win.
