Biography

In the golden years of UWA trios wrestling in El Toreo (early 80s), Feliciano was a part of two Los Temerarios (The Reckless Ones) teams, the first version with Black Terry and Lobo Rubio, and the second and better version with Black Terry and Shu El Guerrero.

He captured the National trios titles with Shu and Terry on November 20, 1988 after defeating Tony Arce, Rocco Valente and Emilio Charles Jr. at Arena Coliseo. They lost the titles on January 21, 1990 to the popular high flying team of Los Arqueros del Espacio (Danny Boy, Robin Hood and Lasser), also at Arena Coliseo.

Jose Luis left UWA, and he and Black Terry joined EMLL full time on January of 1992. Both were repackaged, Black Terry as Guerrero Maya, and Feliciano as Guerrero del Futuro. They were put in a trio called "Los Guerreros del Futuro" with Damián El Guerrero. Maya and Futuro were good wrestlers, and though Damian wasn't that good, they were a team fun to watch as they used tons of creative triple team attacks.

In 1996, Maya retired from the full-time competition as a business he had was doing very well, so the team disbanded and Damian and Futuro went their separate ways.

In 1997 he had a chance to participate in a CMLL Japan tour. His first Japanese tour was actually in March of 1990 with Terry and Shu as Los Temerarios, wrestling for Hamada's Universal. He also competed as the masked Guerrero del Futuro for Tenryu's SWS, and in the year 2000 he wrestled (masked) for Big Japan Pro Wrestling.

Ended up losing his mask to Hijo del Santo on July 18, 1998 in the first Ruleta de la Muerte promoted by OCESA at the mythical Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City. Hijo del Espectro was supposed to lose, but he no-showed and Futuro was probably offered a lot of money to be a last minute replacement.

From then on, he returned to the undercard where he's still active, though now he also works as the financial secretary of the CMLL syndicate. He is a solid undercard addition and while he's clearly past his prime, he's still a great bumping rudo when he's fired up (i.e. OCESA's Guerra de Naciones) and a very good talent to have there to "teach the ropes" to the young guys of the promotion.
