Biography

Made his pro-wrestling debut on August 11, 2000, teaming with his father Dos Caras to defeat El Azteca and Chiba, in an event promoted by the Japanese independent promotion KAGEKI PRO WRESTLING. This card was held in Shimonoseki and reports said that the junior looked very good for a rookie.

Before turning pro, Caras Jr. was a member of the Mexican national team in Greco-Roman wrestling for five years, and he placed third at the World Junior Championships in 1997 (held in Czech Republic), won the Central-American games three times and also won a medal at the Pan-Am games. He was looking forward to compete in the Sydney 2000 Olympics, but due to lack of support, politics and government problems Mexico could not send any representatives to the Olympic wrestling competition so he turned pro instead.

Made his AAA debut on 9/4 when he ran-in during a match involving his father, that was getting beat up by Texano, Pirata Morgan and Espectro Jr., but his first actual match with AAA was on September 29, 2000, in AAA's "Verano de Escándalo" supershow. He teamed with Alebrije, Sangre Chicana and La Parka Jr. to beat "Los Consagrados" (Pirata Morgan, Espectro Jr., El Texano and El Cobarde).

During his first months he has feuded with the veteran stable of "Los Consagrados" and on January 21, 2001, he failed (teaming with his father) to conquer Texano and Pirata Morgan's National Tag Team Titles.

There's no doubt that Dos Caras Jr. is one of the real stars of the future. He's got size, name value, charisma and it looks like he's going to develop into an excellent wrestler.


Notes

Dos Caras Jr. has been pushed as a top heavyweight tecnico since joining CMLL, but he lacks a notable feud at the moment. He's had mini feuds with Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000 and Kenzo Suzuki, formed a team with Lizmark Jr., and done some work as a trio with Dr. Wagner Jr. and Mistico, but really hasn't had a monumental feud.

Dos is always on the side of good, and pushed as an agile guy for his size. Dos has also done some MMA fighting - sometimes with his mask and sometimes without - and he's incorporated submissions to his fighting style. He's still an unfinished guy in the ring, but he's likely the best of guys in CMLL his size and his age.

2009

Dos Caras Jr. turned heel shocking many in CMLL. Briefly feuding with Shocker. Caras then signed on with the WWE, he has yet to appear in WWE television but is believed to currently be working with the FCW promotion, a developmental territory for the WWE.
