Blue Demon, Jr.'s real name is unknown.

Professional wrestling career

Origins and heritage controversy

Originally Blue Demon Jr. was said to be the adopted son of Blue Demon, but Blue Demon's biological son, non-wrestler Alfredo Muñoz, has claimed that Blue Demon Jr. was not legally adopted and that he (Muñoz) retains rights to the name Blue Demon (i.e., without the "Jr").

Universal Wrestling Association

Blue Demon Jr. won the UWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship in 1997 in Panama by defeating Black Demon. Between 1997 and 1999 (exact date unknown) he lost the title to Pablo Marquez.

Asistencia Asesoría y Administración

In Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) he formed the team Los Juniors with La Parka, Jr., Mascara Sagrada, Jr. and Perro Aguayo, Jr.. On April 18, 1999 in Zapopan, Jalisco they won the Mexican National Atómicos Championship by defeating Los Vatos Locos, a team of Charly Manson, May Flowers, Nygma and Picudo. On September 17, 1999 in Mexico City, D.F. they lost the championship to Los Vipers, a team of Histeria, Maniaco, Mosco de la Merced II and Psicosis II.

National Wrestling Alliance

With the NWA World Heavyweight Championship belt

On October 25, 2008, Demon, Jr. became the first Mexican professional wrestler, as well as first masked luchador to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship when he defeated champion Adam Pearce. His win was also the first time the title changed hands in Mexico, although not with CMLL as would have been the case before the mid-1980s (It happened in Blue Demon, Jr.'s own promotion known, NWA Mexico). The ongoing feud has Pearce protesting the loss with the NWA as his arm was under the bottom rope when he passed out from Blue Demon Jr's Single leg Boston crab. Blue Demon Jr. managed to hold onto the championship for 505 days before dropping it back to Pearce in a triple-threat match also involving Phill Shatter on March 14, 2010 at NWA New Beginnings.^[2]

Demon, Jr. defeated Oliver John at an NWA Mexico event at the Lucha Libre Expo in Mexico City on July 23, 2010 to capture the Pro Wrestling Revolution (PWR) Heavyweight Championship.

In films and TV

In 2007 he appeared in the film Mil Mascaras vs. the Aztec Mummy (also known as Mil Mascaras Resurrection).^[3][4][5] In an episode of ¡Mucha Lucha!, a cartoon version of Blue Demon, Jr. appears as a super hero wrestler. He is also going to compete on the Mexican dancing show, Mira Quien Baila.
