Vincent Denigris (1938 – 2 August 1984) was an Argentine professional wrestler better known by his ring name Vicente Denigris or Argentina Apollo. He was part of the Chicago Comiskey Park shows in 1961, teaming with Antonino Rocca, and a popular star on Studio Wrestling during the 1960s.[2] His main work was for the World Wide Wrestling Federation 1963-1968 and various territories of the National Wrestling Alliance, most notably, Championship Wrestling from Florida and Georgia Championship Wrestling.[3][4] He was best known for his gymnastics in the ring, performing such feats as climbing onto the ropes, performing a back aerial somersault into a roll, then using a handspring to return to his feet and to throw a savate kick to his opponent's midsection. He died on 2 August 1984, due to a heart attack.[1][5]
