José Ángel Nájera Sánchez (born January 6, 1951 in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico, residing in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua), is a retired Mexican luchador or professional wrestler best known under the ring name Fishman. Fishman was one of the top wrestlers in the mid-1970s and 1980s and has worked for Empressa Mexicana de Lucha Libre, the Universal Wrestling Association, the World Wrestling Association and Asistencia Asesoría y Administración in Mexico as well as frequent trips to Japan and the United States. Nájera was unmasked after losing a match in 2000 and retired shortly afterwards. Three of his sons are all luchadors enmascarados (masked wrestlers) known by their ring names Black Fish, El Hijo del Fishman and El Único de Ciudad Juárez.
Nájera was born on January 6, 1951 in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico with his family relocating to Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua while he was still very young. At an early age his mother and aunts would bring Nájera along when they would watch lucha libre shows at the local Torero de Cuartro Caminos bullfighting area from the time he was nine years old. During his formative years Nájera cited both Black Shadow and Blue Demon as his idols, favoring the rudos (lucha libre term for those that portray the bad guys) of the era over tecnicos (the "good guys") such as El Santo.
