Wolf Ruvinskis

In spite of living in extreme poverty he excelled in sports and as a professional wrestler he toured South America, the United States and Mexico.

As a wrestler he was introduced to the Cinema of Mexico playing luchadores, in particular a masked character he created called Neutrón.

[1] Ruvinskis quickly became a proficient Rudo (bad guy) in wrestling, which led him to be booked on tours of South America and later on both Mexico and the United States.

He played the lead role in the 1956 cult classic El Ladron de Cadaveres, which is now considered the first true Mexican Wrestling/ Horror film.

While he played a hated villain in wrestling his real persona was a complete opposite, described as a gentleman who lived to entertain diners with conversation and jokes, or at times even an Argentinian Tango.
