context_page_description: Genaro Vázquez Nevarez is a Mexican professional wrestler and trainer, best known under his ring name Blue Panther. He made his in-ring debut in 1978 and has since then worked for most major Mexican professional wrestling promotions such as the Universal Wrestling Association, Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre and Asistencia, Asesoría y Administración during his career. He was one of the first wrestlers to leave CMLL for AAA when it was created in 1992, but returned to CMLL in 1997 where he has competed ever since.
  Vázquez's two oldest sons, known as Blue Panther Jr. and Black Panther, are also professional wrestlers, working for CMLL since 2013. A third son referred to as El Hijo de Blue Panther has been introduced to the audience but has not made his in-ring debut. He was the first CMLL World Middleweight Champion and has won the Mexican National Middleweight Championship twice, the CMLL World Trios Championship twice and the Mexican National Trios Championship. He also won the 1999 Torneo Gran Alternativa and the 2000 Leyenda de Plata tournaments.
  In his career, he has won the mask of such notable wrestlers as Black Man, Lizmark Jr. and Love Machine.
context_section_description: In mid-1992 then-CMLL-booker Antonio Peña left CMLL over creative differences with the owner and formed his own company, Asistencia, Asesoría y Administración (AAA). Panther left CMLL and followed Peña to AAA as he was close to Peña. As a result, CMLL declared the CMLL World Middleweight Championship vacant. When Love Machine joined AAA months later the Blue Panther/Love Machine feud resumed. The two met in a mask vs. hair match in July 1993, during which both wrestlers changed sides as Love Machine was helped by Eddy Guerrero turning rudo, while Blue Panther "valiantly" fought back, making Blue Panther a tecnico (a "Face", those that portray the "good guys" in wrestling), as he overcame the odds and defeated Love Machine. Following the turn Barr and Guerrero formed 'Los Gringos Locos,' which soon became the main rudo group of AAA.
  On July 23, 1992 Blue Panther won the Mexican National Middleweight Championship from Octagón and held the title for 665 days until Octagón regained the championship April 30, 1994. His second reign lasted a total of 609 days, from May 27, 1994 to January 26, 1996 when El Hijo del Santo won the championship Mexican National Middleweight Championship. Panther teamed up with Fuerza Guerrera and Psicosis to defeat Octagón, Rey Misterio Jr. and Super Muñeco to win the Mexican National Trios Championship.
  After the downturn of the Mexican economy, Blue Panther and Fuerza Guerra started their own promotion called Promotora Mexicana de Lucha Libre  (PROMELL; later known as Promo Azteca). The Mexico City Boxing and Professional wrestling commission took control of the Mexican National Trios Championship away from AAA and awarded it to PROMELL instead. This led to the championship being vacated in 1996, before Panther, Fuerza Guerra and El Signo won it by defeating El Brazo, Super Brazo and Super Elektra to win the vacant championship. The original PROMELL struggled to be profitable, which led to Blue Panther briefly returning to AAA in 1997.
