Ángel Azteca, Jr.

Professional wrestling career The wrestler who today is known as Ángel Azteca Jr. made his professional wrestling debut in 1995, at the age of just 15. Since the death of Ángel Azteca promoters have been very careful not to bill Ángel Azteca Jr. as the actual son of the original and more of his successor.

In June 2008 Ángel Azteca Jr. teamed up with Mascara Purpura to participate in a tournament for the vacant CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship. The makeshift team defeated Los Romanos (Caligula and Messala) in the first round and Los Guerreros Tuareg (Arkangel de la Muerte and Hooligan) in the second round. In the third round the team lost to Los Infernales (Nosteratu and Euforia). On June 27, 2008 Ángel Azteca Jr. competed for the Trofeo Generacion del 75 (Generation of 75 Trophy), a tournament for young wrestlers who had joined CMLL during their 75th year of operation. El Hijo del Fantasma won the match but Ángel Azteca Jr. was able to make a good showing for himself.

On July 18, 2008 Ángel Azteca Jr. took part in CMLL's annual Gran Alternativa tournament, a tournament where an experienced wrestler teams up with a newcomer. Ángel Azteca Jr. teamed up with Shocker but lost in the first round to tournament winners Último Guerrero and Dragón Rojo Jr. By the end of 2008 Ángel Azteca Jr. had begun to team with the brother duo of Ángel de Plata and Ángel de Oro to form a low-card trio called Los Ángeles Celestiales ("The Celestial Angels"). On April 7, 2009 Ángel Azteca Jr. participated in a 10-man Torneo cibernetico elimination match for the vacant CMLL World Super Lightweight Championship. The other participants included Rey Cometa, Pegasso, Tiger Kid, Pólvora, Inquisidor, Súper Comando, Angel de Oro, Ángel de Plata and eventual winner Máscara Dorada. In late 2009 Los Ángeles Celestiales participated in a tournament to crown new Mexican National Trios Champion. The team lost in the first round to Los Cancerberos del Infierno Virus, Pólvora and Euforia. Ángel Azteca Jr. was one of 12 men who put their mask on the line as part of a 12-man steel cage match in the main event of the 2010 Infierno en el Ring. He worked together with his fellow Ángeles Celestiales throughout the match and managed to escape as the sixth man out of the cage. In the end, Ángel de Oro defeated Fabián el Gitano in the Lucha de Apueta portion of the match to unmask him.
