Genaro Vázquez Nevarez (born September 18, 1960) is a Mexican professional wrestler and trainer, best known under his ring name Blue Panther.

A third son referred to as El Hijo de Blue Panther has been introduced to the audience but has not made his in-ring debut.

Blue Panther began wrestling in northern Mexico in the late 1970s before getting noticed by wrestler and promoter René Guajardo in Monterrey.

[9] The team later broke up, leading to a prolonged storyline feud between the two, which included Black Man winning the UWA World Welterweight Championship from Blue Panther on February 9, 1986.

[7] The storyline built to a high-profile Lucha de Apuestas match between the two at UWA's main venue, the El Toreon Cuatro Caminos bullfighting arena.

[c] Later that same year EMLL changed their name to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; "World Wrestling Council") and began holding tournaments for CMLL-branded championships.

In the third and deciding fall, Love Machine used a move called El Martinete' (a "piledriver"), which under Lucha Libre rules caused him to be disqualified and thus lose the match.

[d][15] In mid-1992 then-CMLL-booker Antonio Peña left CMLL over creative differences with the owner and formed his own company, Asistencia, Asesoría y Administración (AAA).

The two met in a mask vs. hair match in July 1993, during which both wrestlers changed sides as Love Machine was helped by Eddy Guerrero turning rudo, while Blue Panther "valiantly" fought back, making Blue Panther a tecnico (a "Face", those that portray the "good guys" in wrestling), as he overcame the odds and defeated Love Machine.

[17][18] Panther teamed up with Fuerza Guerrera and Psicosis to defeat Octagón, Rey Misterio Jr. and Super Muñeco to win the Mexican National Trios Championship.

[19] After the downturn of the Mexican economy, Blue Panther and Fuerza Guerra started their own promotion called Promotora Mexicana de Lucha Libre (PROMELL; later known as Promo Azteca).

The Mexico City Boxing and Professional wrestling commission took control of the Mexican National Trios Championship away from AAA and awarded it to PROMELL instead.

In 2004, Atlantis and Blue Panther defeated Último Guerrero and Rey Bucanero to win the CMLL World Tag Team Championship.

Three months after successfully defending the title against Olímpico and Rey Bucanero, Atlantis and Panther lost the championship to the team of Averno and Mephisto in April 2005.

This led to the Distrito Federal Box y Lucha Commission announcing that Panther was suspended for two weeks, starting after December 16 event.

[22] On March 2, 2012, at Homenaje a Dos Leyendas, Panther and Negro Casas wrestled to a draw in a Lucha de Apuesta and were, as a result, both shaved bald.

[24][25] On September 13, at CMLL's 80th Anniversary Show, Blue Panther lost his hair to Averno in a submissions-only Lucha de Apuestas.

[32] In mid-2017, Blue Panther became involved in a long-running storyline with American wrestler Sam Adonis, who portrayed a pro-Donald Trump and anti-Mexican ring character.

[33][34] Panther stood up to Adonis and defended Mexico as the storyline escalated into the two facing off in a high-profile Lucha de Apuestas match on August 4, 2017.
