Personal life

His 15-year older brother Joel García had already made his professional wrestling debut by the time Stuka Jr. was born, using the name "Stuka".[4] His other brothers followed in his footsteps, working under the ring names "Oso Negro" ("Black Bear") and Dandy García.[4]

Professional wrestling style and persona
Stuka Jr. is credited with inventing the "Torpedo Plancha" dive.[6] For this move Stuka Jr. climbs to the top rope, facing the ring, then he leaps backward in a twisting motion over the top ring post, landing on an opponent on the floor.[5] Another high flying move that Stuka Jr. often uses during tag or trios matches involves one of his tag team partners performing a monkey flip off the entrance ramp, throwing Stuka Jr. high up in the air and onto an opponent on the floor.[5] He often wins his matches with the "Torpedo Splash", a leaping splash off the top rope where Stuka Jr. keeps both arms straight down the side to simulate a bomb dropping from the sky.[5] His wrestling style has earned him the nickname "the Human Missile".[5]
Throughout his career, Stuka Jr. has always portrayed a tecnico (a face in English wrestling terms; those that portray the good guy in wrestling), with the crowds generally behind him, especially for headline matches such as the Lucha de Apuetas win over Okumura and Namajague.[30] Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) as 380 out of the top 500 in 2016, Stuka Jr.'s highest ranking in their annual list.[5] Over the years Stuka Jr. has moved up the ranks of CMLL, initially holding the lowest ranking championship (CMLL Arena Mexico Tag Team Championship),[13] to claiming one of the mid-card titles (the Mexican National Trio Championship),[21] and in 2018 winning one of the top-ranked singles championships in CMLL, the NWA World Historic Light Heavyweight Championship.[46]
