Biography

Riley Vigier, better known as El Phantasmo, is a Canadian professional wrestler who debuted in 2005, built his reputation in the UK with Revolution Pro Wrestling (RevPro), and joined New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) in 2019. Originally known as one of the world's top junior heavyweights, he later transitioned into the heavyweight division, making his G1 Climax debut in 2022 and becoming a fan favorite thanks to his charisma, humor, and unpredictable in-ring style. In NJPW, he is a two-time NJPW World Television Champion, three-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion with Taiji Ishimori, two-time NJPW STRONG Openweight Tag Team Champion and one-time IWGP Tag Team Champion with Hikuleo, and the winner of the 2019 and 2020 Super J-Cups. Outside NJPW, he has also held the RevPro Undisputed British Cruiserweight Championship, three ECCW Championships, the ECCW Tag Team Championship with Amazing Halo as The Masked Dudes of Doom, and the WrestleCore Infinity Championship, and was ranked No. 91 in the Pro Wrestling Illustrated PWI 500 in 2025.
