Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Dionicio Castellanos Torres (born May 19, 1971) is a Mexican Professional Wrestler best known for his work in the 1990s in Mexico, Japan, ECW and WCW as Psicosis. He started his career in 1989 as El Salvaje. He changed his name to Psicosis and began his epic feud with Rey Mysterio Jr.. He would compete for AAA (where he currently works) almost exclusively, while making a few appearances in New Japan Pro-Wrestling before he and Rey made their ECW debut at ECW Gangstas Paradise. He made his PPV debut at AAA When Worlds Collide teaming with Fuerza Guerrera and "Madonna's Boyfriend" Louie Spicolli in a win over Rey, Heavy Metal and Fuerza Guerrera.He arrived in WCW in 1996 as Psychosis, debuting in a loss to Konnan at WCW Clash of the Champions XXXII on January 23. He continued his feud with Rey, making his WCW PPV debut in a loss to him at WCW Bash at the Beach, and also feuded with Último Dragón - unfortunately for Psychosis he never beat Misterio on PPV and never once beat Dragon during the feud note he'd defeat Dragon via DQ two years after the feud ended when Raven's Flock attacked him during a match. He had two reigns as WCW World Cruiserweight Champion. For the second one, he was simply announced as champion due to GLAAD's protests over Lenny Lane, the previous champion, and his tag team partner Lodi's "West Hollywood Blondes" homosexual gimmick. Psicosis promptly lost the belt after the announcement to Disco Inferno.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })WCW released him in early 2000 as the company was going through bad financial problems. He briefly returned to ECW where he had a famous and acclaimed match with Yoshihiro Tajiri that aired on ECW's syndicated show and was included on the ECW Deep Impact DVD. He would compete for WWAS, NWA-TNAnote he was one of the four participants in the match to determine the inaugural X Division Champion, All Japan Pro Wrestling, AAA's rival CMLL and other independents until arriving in WWE in 2005 as a member of The Mexicools with Juventud (Guerrera) and Super Crazy. The team would feud with the Blue World Order as well as challenge for the Cruiserweight Title. Psicosis was released in October 2006 and would briefly return to CMLL until he suffered a shattered nose in a match with El Hijo del Santo. He returned to AAA in 2007 and has been there ever since. He retired as a full time wrestler in 2020 at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, but still makes occasional appearances in the ring.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Among his in-ring achievements, he is a former AAA World Tag Team Champion (as Nicho el Millionario - see Disney Owns This Name below) and a 2x Mexican National Trios Champion. | |

Always Someone Better | |
| Psicosis (Wrestling) / int_19d1c1ae | comment |
Always Someone Better: Outside Mexico, he rarely beat Misterio, although inside it the feud was more even. Justified, since a lot of their matches were designed to introduce fans outside Mexico to the Lucha Libre style, and Misterio had the cooler looking high spots. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Psicosis (Wrestling) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: In 1999, Psychosis had been having trouble with Raven's Flock after building up a small win streak at their expense, and he had a match against former arch enemy Ultimo Dragon. So when the match ended up at ringside in front of the Flock, they attacked Psychosis. Ultimo Dragon came to his aid, and Psych and Dragon ended up standing back to back running the Flock off. An underrated wrestler teaming with his former arch enemy against the hated Flock could have been an intriguing midcard angle - so naturally, the whole thing ground was never mentioned again after that. | |

Spell My Name with an S: It's Psicosis. WCW called him Psychosis consistantly, but no one ever called him "Psichosis". Ironically, WCW did the same thing to Ultimo Dragon during their feud, calling him "The Ultimate Dragon". | |

Face–Heel Turn | |
| Psicosis (Wrestling) / int_af3ea0e3 | comment |
Face–Heel Turn: Obviously being a pro wrestler he's had several (and several heel face turns as well), but his most notable heel turn came about halfway through his feud with Ultimo Dragon. Dragon had just split with his manager Sonny Onoo and turned face, and Psicosis was so desperate for a win over Dragon that he signed with Onoo. It didn't help. | |

The Chew Toy | |
| Psicosis (Wrestling) / int_e4f5affb | comment |
The Chew Toy: Mr. Torres got way more than his share of bad breaks. Cancelled push after cancelled push, being forced to lose a title he never won twice. The second one was the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship, which Juventud Guerrera had won from Jushin Thunder Liger. Juvi had been Kayfabe injured and Psicosis was named to defend the title against Liger in the rematch. The real story was that Juvi and Jerry Flynn had been arrested for drunk driving. Liger defeated Psicosis, of course. To top it off, NJPW now acknowledge Juvi - but not Psicosis - as having held the title. He also lost what would have been his most significant win over Rey Misterio - a mask vs mask match in CMLL where Psicosis was planned to win was cancelled when Misterio unmasked in WCW and CMLL forbade Misterio from wrestling masked. | |
