El Gallo

Personal life The wrestler who would later be known as El Gallo was born on December 15, 1984, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, son of professional wrestler known under the ring name "El Líder". Growing up, the future El Gallo and his brother would often not see their father as he would be gone from Guadalajara for weeks at a time, wrestling in Mexico City. Only a few months after becoming El Gallo he won his first major victory, defeating Güero Loco in a Luchas de Apuestas, or "bet match", forcing his opponent to unmask afterwards as per Lucha libre traditions. The teams were paired up specifically for the tournament and did not work together on a regular basis prior to it as El Gallo was teamed up with Boomerang for the tournament. In the end El Gallo and Boomerang ended up in second place, one point behind the winning team of Palacio Negro

On November 15, 2009, El Gallo was one of eight men who put their mask on the line in a Steel cage match where the last two men in the cage would have to fight to keep their mask safe. The match came down to El Gallo and El Egipico after Infierno, Magnum, Samurai, Neutron, Leon Blanco and El Gallo's brother Ráfaga escaped the cage. Originally it looked like El Gallo would have to unmask as he was pinned, but the local wrestling commissioner restarted the match as El Gallo had a foot under the bottom rope during the pinfall, making it void. In the end El Gallo pinned his opponent, forcing El Egipico to unmask. El Gallo regained the championship on January 30, 2010, in the semi-main event of a show in Arena Coliseo. On March 11, 2012, El Gallo would unmask El Bárbaro, a wrestler who would go on to become known as Bárbaro Cavernario El Gallo was the eight and final competitor eliminated from the match.
