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.
