not Tinieblas
On the week Tinieblas debuted, lucha announcer Dr. Alfonso Morales was absent. Dr. Morales missing a show is a strange event, he's a tall man, and Tinieblas is a tall man, so some believed the announcer was actually under the mask.
This is not true. Morales is not Tinieblas, and has done commentary on his matches. Despite the evidence to the contrary, the urban legend of Morales being Tinieblas still surfaces from time to time.
