Professional wrestling career
The wrestler who would later become known as "Misterioso, Jr." made his debut in 1995 under the ring name "Super Spider", a masked look patterned after the comic book hero Spider-Man. He worked as Super Spider on the Mexican independent circuit from 1995 until 2003, where he changes his name to "Misteriosos II" and began teaming with his uncle Misterioso. He also began working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) in the opening matches.
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre
In 2004 Misterioso and Misterioso II participated in the Gran Alternativa tournament, a tag team tournament where an experienced wrestler teams up with a Novato (rookie) in a one night tournament. The Misteriosos were eliminated in the first round by eventual winners Místico and El Hijo del Santo.[3] Shortly after the Gran Alternativa Misteriosos II worked on the CMLL 71st Anniversary Show, teaming with Místico and Volador, Jr. to defeat the team of Averno, Mephisto and Olímpico.[4] capping off his first full year in CMLL Misterio II participated in the annual Leyenda de Plata tournament, but did not make it past the qualifying torneo cibernetico match as he was eliminated by Super Crazy as the first man out.[5] When the Misterioso left CMLL the promotion began billing Misterioso II as "Misterioso, Jr.", although they alternated between the names, not consistently using one or the other. In 2005 Misterioso, Jr. once again competed in the Gran Alternativa, this time teaming with veteran Dr. Wagner, Jr.. The team defeated Pierroth, Jr. and Nitro in the first round, Universo 2000 and Doctor X in the second round before losing to Atlantis and La Máscara in the finals of the tournament.[6][7] He also competed in that year's Leyenda de Plata, but once again did not manage to get past the first round as he was eliminated by El Hijo del Santo.Leyenda de Plata 2005 [8] By the end of 2005 Misteriosos, Jr. turned Rudo (the Spanish term for Heel or bad guy) after being a Tecnico (good guy) for his entire career up until this point. Misterioso, Jr. joined the Los Perros del Mal group as their youngest member, often teaming with El Terrible and El Texano, Jr.. For the 2006 Gran Alternativa Misterioso, Jr. teamed with Los Perros leader Perro Aguayo, Jr.. In the first round they defeated Lizmark, Jr. and Máscara Purpura, in the second round the beat Héctor Garza and Hombre Sin Nombre and in the finals they defeated Último Guerrero and Nitro giving Misterioso, Jr. his first big profile win.[7] Misterioso, Jr. could not follow his Gran Alternativa success in that year's Leyenda de Plata tournament as he once again did not make it past the qualifying the torneo cibernetico.[9] On March 30, 2007 Misterioso, Jr. appeared on CMLL's Homenaje a Dos Leyendas show, teaming with Black Warrior and Tarzan Boy to defeat Leono, El Sagrado and Volador, Jr. in a Six-man tag team match.[10] Misterioso, Jr. did not compete in the 2007 Gran Alternativa or Leyenda de Plata, keeping a low profile until appearing on the CMLL 74th Anniversary Show on September 29, 2007. On the night Misterioso, Jr., El Texano, Jr. and Virus lost to Último Dragón, La Máscara and Volador, Jr.[11] On August 29, 2008 Misterioso, Jr. teamed with La Peste Negra (El Felino and Heavy Metal) in the second match of CMLL's Sin Pieda Pay-Per-View, losing to El Hijo del Fantasma, La Máscara and La Sombra.[12] Two days after Sin Piedad Misterioso, Jr. won his first championship as he defeated El Gallo for the Occidente (Western) Light Heavyweight Championship on August 31, 2008 in Guadalajara, Jalisco.[13]
When Perro Aguayo, Jr. left CMLL, taking the Los Perros del Mal stable with him, Misterioso, Jr. opted to stay with CMLL, transferring to Los Hijos del Averno, a group established to fill the void left by Los Perros del Mal.
Poder Mexica
Main article: Poder MexicaIn early 2009 Black Warrior was suspended for a month, leaving his group Poder Mexica one man short for their six-man matches. Misterioso, Jr. was chosen to fill the part, becoming an unofficial member of Poder Mexica, teaming with Sangre Azteca and Dragón Rojo, Jr., helping them to defeat Hijo del Fantasma, Héctor Garza and La Máscara on the 2009 Homenaje a Dos Leyendas PPV.[14] After Black Warrior's suspension was over he took over from Misterioso, Jr. for a while, but over the summer of 2009 Misterioso, Jr. began teaming more with Poder Mexico' than Black Warrior did. On August 18, 2009 Misterioso, Jr. lost the Occidente Light Heavyweight Championship to Mictlán.[15] At the CMLL 76th Anniversary Show Misterioso, Jr. once again teamed with Poder Mexico, this time actually announced as a member Poder Mexica, in a loss to El Sagrado, Hijo del Fantasma and Máscara Dorada.[16] Shortly after the Anniversary show Sangrea Azteca confirmed that Misterioso, Jr. was indeed the newest member of Poder Mexica.[17] On December 19, 2009 it was announced by the Comisión de Box y Lucha Libre Mexico D.F. that Poder Mexica had been stripped of the Mexican National Trios title because Black Warrior had left CMLL, breaking up the team. At the same time they announced an eight team tournament to crown a new trios champion. The top half of the bracket took place on December 22, 2009 and the bottom half of the bracket took place on December 29. In the top bracket the team of Mascara Dorada, Stuka, Jr. and Metro qualifed for the finals.[18] The bottom bracket took place on December 29, 2009 and saw Poder Mexica (Azteca, Rojo, Jr. and Misterioso, Jr.) defeat Fabian El Gitano, Máximo and Rouge and then Delta, Leono and Valiente to qualify for the final.[19] On January 6, 2010 Mascara Dorada, Stuka, Jr. and Metro defeated Poder Mexica to become the new Mexican National Trios Champions.[20]
