Riley Vigier (born October 24, 1986), better known by his ring name El Phantasmo (often shortened to ELP), is a Canadian professional wrestler. He is signed to New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), where he is a former member of the Guerillas of Destiny stable.
In NJPW, Phantasmo was a former member of Bullet Club and became a three-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion (all with Taiji Ishimori) and a two-time Super J-Cup winner while in the stable. Around the beginning of 2023, he eventually transitioned into the heavyweight division and would also be kicked out of Bullet Club, leading to him joining the Guerrillas. He would team with Hikuleo, with whom he became a two-time Strong Openweight Tag Team Champion and one-time IWGP Tag Team Champion, and at one time held both sets of tag team championships simultaneously. He has also worked for Impact Wrestling,[1] and various independent promotions in Canada, the European Union and the United Kingdom.
