Dr. Cerebro

Alejandro Jiménez Cruz (born April 21, 1972) is a Mexican professional wrestler, best known under the ring name Dr. Cerebro (Spanish for "Doctor Brain"). He has been associated with the Mexican promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) since his debut in 1996 and has portrayed both a tecnico ("Good guy") and a Rudo ("bad guy") wrestling character. He is also a licensed Chiropractor.

Professional wrestling career Alejandro Jiménez Cruz was the second person to use the "Dr. Cerebro" ring name in professional wrestling, taking over both the name and the mask from José Mercado López, better known as Pentagón II / Pentagón Black upon his wrestling debut. On January 18, 1998 the team of Dr Cerebro, Hijo del Gladiador, El Felino, Mr. Niebla, Tigre Blanco, Tony Rivera and Venum Black lost that year's Copa Higher Power to the Toryumon team of Suwa, Lyguila, Tokyo, Saito, Fuji and their trainer Último Dragón. Back in Mexico Dr. Cerebro competed in the 2000 Yamaha Cup, losing to Genki Horiguchi and Mike Segura in the first round of the tournament. The team of Dr. Cerebro and Bombero Infernal received a couple of opportunities to wrestle for the IWRG Intercontinental Tag Team Championship, but lost to the championship team of Fantasy and Star Boy. On March 21, 2010 Dr. Cerebro put the IWRG Lightweight Championship on the line against El Hijo del Diablo's WWS World Welterweight Championship, adding the WWS World Welterweight Championship to his collection. On May 23, 2010 Dr. Cerebro defeated Fuerza Guerrera to win his fourth IWRG Weltwegith Championship, only to lose it 2 weeks later to CIMA. On March 5, 2011 Dr. Cerebro officially worked a match for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), participating in CMLL's card for the Festival Mundial de Lucha Libre (the "World Wrestling Festival") where he teamed up with Los Traumas only to lose to CMLL contracted wrestlers Puma King, Tiger Kid and Virus. Dr. Cerebro, Cerebro Negro and Eterno teamed up to participant in a tournament to crown the first ever AAA World Trios Champion, losing in the first round to Los Bizarros (Charly Manson, Cibernético and Billy el Malo). On June 2, 2011 Dr. Cerero lost the last of his championships as Multifacetico won the WWS Welterweight Championship from him during IWRG's 2011 Legado Final show. A few days later Dr. Cerebro participated in a tour of England, during which he participated in a tournament for the vacant NWA World Welterweight Championship, only to lose to Cassandro. In late 2012 Dr. Cerebro entered a tournament for the vacant WWS World Welterweight Championship, defeating Relampago and Carta Brava, Jr. in the preliminary rounds only to lose to Cerebro Negro in the finals. That match was only one of many matches in the escalating storyline between the two Cerebros, former partners turned enemies. A month later Dr. Cerebro defeated Cerebro Negro in a Lucha de Apuesta match, shaving his opponent's hair off after the match.
