## Personal life

Sandra González Calderón was born on June 26, 1970, in Mexico City, Mexico. In the mid-1980s González was married to Mario Balbuena González, a professional wrestler known under the name Gran Apache. The two met when Balbuena began training González for a professional wrestling career and married before she made her in-ring debut. The couple later divorced, with González later marrying Jesus Alvarado Nieves, who wrestled under the name Brazo de Oro. In the early 2000s, it was revealed that González and Alvarado were divorced, and she was then married to Edgar Luna Pozos, known in professional wrestling under the names of Electroshock and later Mr. Electro.

## Professional wrestling career

González made her professional wrestling debut on June 26, 1986, adopting the ring name "Lady Apache". Early in her career, Lady Apache won back-to-back *Lucha de Apuestas* or "bet matches", the most prestigious match type in lucha libre, against La Gata, first forcing La Gata to remove her mask and later to have all her hair shaved off.

While working for CMLL, Lady Apache was also allowed to tour Japan to wrestle on several tours. Her first trip to Japan was in January 1992, where she worked for Universal Pro-Wrestling. During the tour, she had two championship opportunities. The first opportunity, on January 19, saw Lady Apache team up with Kaoru Maeda, facing and losing to the team of Manami Toyota and Toshiyo Yamada for the vacant UWA World Women's Tag Team Championship. The second opportunity saw Lady Apache and Mariko Yoshida lose to Kaoru Maeda and Mima Shimoda in a match for the vacant JCTV Women's TV Championship. She returned to Japan in early 1993, saw her compete in a mixed trios tournament, teaming with male wrestlers Oro and Plata, losing to La Diabólica, Scorpio Jr., and Super Delfin in the second round of the tournament.

When Lady Apache returned to Japan in 1995, she worked for Wrestle and Romance (WAR) as the UFF had closed by then. For the tour, she he worked primarily against Mexican wrestlers La Pantera and Pantera Sureña. On March 3, 1995, Lady Apache and La Felina competed in a tournament for the vacant WWWA World Tag Team Championship but lost in the first round to *Las Cachorras Orientales* (Etsuko Mita and Mima Shimoda). She would later work tours for Osaka Pro Wrestling (in 1999) and ARISON (in 1999-2000), but not work for another Japanese promotion until 2011 where she wrestled for Universal Woman's Pro Wrestling Reina. Her last Japanese appearance saw her lose to Princesa Blanca, in a REINA promoted match for the Mexican National Women's Championship.
