Raymundo Díaz Mendoza (March 22, 1962 – August 29, 2024), best known by his ring name Villano V (Spanish: "Villano Quinto"; English: "Villain the fifth"), was a Mexican luchador (or professional wrestler). Following his unmasking in 2009, he worked under the ring name Ray Mendoza Jr., as a tribute to his father Ray Mendoza.
Díaz was part of a well-known Mexican wrestling family that includes four other Villanos, I, II, III and IV. Since making his debut in 1975, Díaz wrestled for every major Mexican wrestling promotion, including Universal Wrestling Association (UWA), Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) and Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).[4] He also worked for the United States-based World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as enhancement talent, usually appearing on secondary shows like WCW Saturday Night.
