Ultraman, Jr. Hijo del Gladiador Ultramán Franco Colombo
Starman (16 November 1974 – 23 September 2022) was a Mexican professional wrestler who was active as a tecnico in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) from 1996. Starman's real name was not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans.
Professional wrestling career
At the beginning of his career, he made his debut on 30 April 1994 in Naucalpan as Ultramán Jr. During his time in Naucalpan, he won the mask of Tortuguillo Karateka IV, one of the Ninja Turtles. By 1995, he had his first Japanese tour in July, wrestling in Pro Wrestling Fujiwara Gumi. In November 1995, he teamed for the first time with Solar and Super Astro to reform the Cadetes del Espacio. During the early 80s, the original Cadetes (Solar, Super Astro, and the original Ultramán) were a popular high flying team. Shortly thereafter, he started to wrestle for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre
On 23 January 1996, he made his debut in CMLL teaming with Alacran de Durango and Olimpus defeating Fiero, America, and Linx. On 17 March 2000, he made another major show teaming with Tigre Blanco, Mascara Magica, Astro Rey, Jr., Antifaz, Tony Rivera, Safari, and Olimpico in another losing effort to Arkangel de la Muerte, Dr. O'Borman, Último Guerrero, Zumbido, Rencor Latino, Mr. Mexico, Violencia, and Rey Bucanero. On 1 January 2001, he became Ultraman Jr. again to lose his mask to Arkangel de la Muerte in a Japanese card co-promoted by Atsushi Onita. This mask loss was never acknowledged nor even mentioned in his home country.
By 2005, Starman started wrestling in Japan again, this time in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). Since his return he had his first match losing to Japanese legend, Tiger Mask. Months later he returned to CMLL wrestling in the undercard.
