Oziel Toscano Jasso (born December 20, 1973) is a Mexican professional wrestler, or Luchador as they are known in Spanish. He has achieved most success under the ring names Tarzan Boy and Toscano. After making his professional wrestling debut in 1993 he has worked for a number of notable professional wrestling promotions in and outside of Mexico such as Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre, AAA, the World Wrestling Federation, International Wrestling Revolution Group, and Promo Azteca. Toscano's ring character is that of a Latin hearth-throb. He has also competed under the ring names Armando Fernandez, Baby Toscano/Babe Toscano, Tarzan Toscano, and Zorro during his career.
Toscano was one of the original founders of the Los Guerreros del Infierno group in 2001 and was a member off and on until 2008. He later helped create the La Furia del Norte group that morphed into the Los Perros del Mal group. He was later part of AAA's El Consejo group, with other former CMLL wrestlers. During his career he has been a one-time NWA World Light Heavyweight Champion, a two-time CMLL World Trios Champion (with Héctor Garza/El Terrible and Último Guerrero/Atlantis), and holder of the AAA World Trios Champion. He also won the 2003 Leyenda de Plata tournament.
Professional wrestling career
Toscano made his in-ring debut on November 27, 1993, after being trained by local Monterrey trainer Blue Fish. He initially adopted the ring name Babe Toscano (sometimes "Baby Toscano"), working for the local Federacion International de Lucha Libre (FILL) promotion. By 1995 Toscano, Humberto Garza Jr., and El Region defeated Los Ku Klux Klan in a Lucha de Apuestas to unmask them, and then followed up with another victory a week later that forced Los Ku Klux Klan to be shaved bald as a result of losing a second Lucha de Apuestas match.
Promo Azteca (1996–1997) By late 1996, Toscano began working for Promo Azteca. Initially, he wrestled as "El Zorro", based on the fictional Zorro vigilante. The character was shortlived and soon after Jesús Martínez took over the role of El Zorro. Once he gave up the El Zorro character, he began working as "Tarzan Boy", a mid-card tecnico character.
World Wrestling Federation (1998–1999) Toscano was one of several Mexican wrestlers who worked for the World Wrestling Federation's (WWF) Super Astros television program. He was billed as "Armando Fernandez", portraying a variation of his Latin heart-throb character. His first match took place on August 24, 1998, as he defeated Sho Funaki, in a dark match before Shotgun Saturday Night. His last match for the WWF was on March 15, 1999, as he defeated El Bandido on a Super Astros match.
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (1998–2011) He was turned rudo and aligned with Rey Bucanero and Último Guerrero to form Los Guerreros del Infierno. Los Guerreros del Infierno feuded with Los Nuevos Infernales (Satánico, Averno, and Mephisto), the stable that Bucanero and Ultimo had recently abandoned.
Tarzan was programmed with Satánico, while Bucanero and Último were programmed with Averno and Mephisto. The rudo turn proved to be a great move because Tarzan Boy was finally accepted as a headliner and the fans took to his heel turn since they had been booing him as a face. Tarzan later joined a couple of other stables. He joined La Furia del Norte with Héctor Garza, Perro Aguayo Jr., and El Terrible; and later joined Los Perros del Mal with Perro Aguayo Jr., Héctor Garza and others. During his career, Tarzan has won the hair of Satánico twice, Negro Casas, Pirata Morgan, Pierroth Jr., and Brazo de Plata, among others. He has lost his hair twice, once to Shocker on September 19, 2003, at the Arena México, and more recently to Naito in the main event of the 2009 Infierno en el Ring event.
Perros del Mal / AAA (2011–2013) After leaving CMLL, Toscano made his debut for the Perros del Mal promotion on November 12, 2011. In early 2012 he lost a six-way match to Hector Garza, where the winner would get a match for the Mexican National Heavyweight Championship.
