Electroshock

Professional wrestling career

Consejo Mundial de Lucha libre (1992-1997) After getting his license Pozos created the enmascarado (masked) character "Ultimatum" after seeing a band called "Ultimatum" and discovering that the term meant "final warning", a name he found appropriate for the showmanship of professional wrestling. As Ultimatum he earned a contract with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and began working at their wrestling school to hone his skills under the tutelage of Arturo Beristain. As Ultimatum Pozos worked low card matches on various CMLL shows, not rising about the first or second match even after almost five years with the company. He was unable to talk to CMLL owner Paco Alonso, but when he talked with CMLL booker Juan Mar Manuel he told him flat out that CMLL had no plans to give him a higher profile on the shows, after which Pozos left the company. Back in Mexico Cibernético created a new "super faction" in AAA called Lucha Libre Latina (LLL), a faction that included Los Vipers as well as several other Rudos. Over the following couple of years Electroshock separated himself from the other Los Vipers members, choosing to team more often with his brother who worked for AAA under the name Charly Manson. On June 8, 2001 Electroshock defeated Heavy Metal to win the UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship, a title he would hold for four to five months. Following the storyline with Chessman, Electroshock began a storyline with his own brother, publicly acknowledging that they were brothers for the first time. The two faced off in a singles match at Triplemania XII where the loser would be forced to retire. Manson won the match but Lady Apache pleaded with him to not force Electroshock to retire but instead shave her hair off as "payment". After some consideration Manson accepted and shaved her hair off, with Electo Shock voluntarily shaving his own hair off in sympathy. In 2006 Electroshock briefly left AAA and wrestled for CMLL as "Electro" but returned to AAA after only a few matches with CMLL.

La Legión Extranjera (2007–2009)

Following his brief departure from AAA Electroshock became part of Konnan's La Legión Extranjera, feuding with a group of AAA Loyalists. In 2006 Charly Manson, Chessman and Cibernético turned tecnico (Face or "good guys") and formed a group called Los Hell Brothers. At the first ever Antonio Peña Memorial Show Electroshock, Abismo Negro and El Zorro defeated Chessman, Cibernético and El Intocable in the main event. La Legión's success continued as Electroshock, Bobby Lashley and Kenzo Suzuki defeated Chessman, La Parka and Silver King in one of the featured events. At the 2008 Antonio Peña Memorial Show Konnan, Electroshock, Rellik and Kenzo Suzuki defeated "Team AAA" (Latin Lover, Octagón, La Parka and Super Fly) in a Steel cage elimination match where La Legión won control of AAA (in storyline terms). In the following months Electroshock was featured more through the "Takeover storyline", an exposure that also led to him qualifying for the 2009 Rey de Reyes tournament. Electroshock outlasted Octagón, Super Fly and Nicho "El Millionaire" to qualify for the final and outlasted La Parka, Silver King and Latin Lover to become the 2009 Rey de Reyes. The long running "AAA vs. La Legión" storyline came to an end at Triplemania XVII where La Legión (Electroshock, Silver King, Chessman, Kenzo Suzuki and Teddy Hart) faced and lost to "Team AAA" (El Hijo del Santo, La Parka, Vampiro, Octagón and Jack Evans) in a Steel Cage match with control of AAA on the line. After the loss Konnan was fired by AAA owner Joaquin Roldan and La Legión was disbanded.

Los Wagnermaniacos (2009–2010) Following Dr. Wagner, Jr.'s AAA Mega Championship victory at Triplemania XVII, a group composed of Dr. Wagner, Jr., Silver King, Último Gladiador and Electroshock formed, taking the name Los Wagnermaniacos after the group leader Dr. Wagner, Jr.. At the 2009 Verano de Escandalo event Electroshock, Silver King and Último Gladiador teamed up to defeat La Parka, Marco Corleone and Octagón. At Heroes Inmortales III Charly Manson was scheduled to face Chessman in a Lucha de Apuesta match, but in the days leading up to the event Manson decided to leave AAA, leaving the main event of Heroes Inmortales III up in the air. On the night of the show Electroshock came out to take his brother's place in the match, losing to Chessman. After the match he had his head shaved completely bald, taking the loss that his brother was originally scheduled to take. At the 2009 Guerra de Titanes Los Wagnermaniacos lost to El Elegido, Extreme Tiger and Pimpinela Escarlata while Dr. Wagner, Jr. lost the AAA title to El Mesias. In early 2010 Electroshock stated that since he was the 2009 Rey de Reyes he deserved to take part in the title match with El Mesias scheduled for the 2010 Rey de Reyes event, a comment that led to animosity between Electroshock and Dr. Wagner, Jr. On March 12, 2010 Electroshock submitted Mr. Anderson in the main event of the 2010 Rey de Reyes, thus winning the AAA Mega Championship without actually defeating the champion El Mesias. Following the match Dr. Wagner, Jr. and the other Wagnermaniacos came to the ring to congratulate Electroshock, seemingly ending any concerns about animosity in the group. On a subsequent AAA show Dr. Wagner, Jr. asked Electroshock for a title match, a request Electroshock declined leading to a fight between the two, ending Electroshock's association with Los Wagnermaniacos.

Los Maniacos (2010) At a later show Silver King, Dr. Wagner, Jr.'s brother, interfered in a fight between the two by attacking his brother, siding with Electroshock. Silver King stated that he chose friendship over family and was siding with Electroshock in the storyline. The two, along with Último Gladiador became known as Los Maniacos Dr. Wagner, Jr. after turning técnico continued Los Wagnermaniacos with Pimpinela Escarlata and Octagón to even the numbers. On April 26, 2010 AAA confirmed on their website that Electroshock would defend the title against Dr. Wagner, Jr. In the lead up to the title match the two faced off in a Steel Cage match on May 19, 2010, a match that Electroshock won with the help of Los Maniacos, Silver King and Último Gladiador. On June 6, 2010, at Triplemanía XVIII, Electroshock lost the AAA Mega Championship to Dr. Wagner, Jr. After losing the title, Electroshock began feuding with Heavy Metal. In September 2010 Silver King and Último Gladiador announced they were joining La Sociedad, and although Electroshock made no official announcement on whether or not he would be following them, he agreed to represent the group at Héroes Inmortales IV in order to get his hands on Heavy Metal. At the event Electroshock, El Zorro, Hernandez and L.A. Park were defeated by Heavy Metal, La Parka, Dark Ozz and Dark Cuervo in an elimination steel cage match.

Turning technico (2010–2014) On November 14 Electroshock officially announced that he was not part of La Sociedad and urged Silver King and Último Gladiador to leave the group. At the November 18 event in Naucalpan he once again turned down an offer to join La Sociedad and was as a result beaten down by Silver King, Último Gladiador and La Milicia, turning him technico in the process. When Heavy Metal returned from his injury on February 4, 2011, he and Electroshock entered a Best of Five series, with the loser having his hair shaved off. The fifth match, a Two Out of Three Falls Bull Terrier match, took place on March 18 at Rey de Reyes, where Heavy Metal was victorious after a guitar shot. After the match both Electroshock and Heavy Metal were attacked by members of La Sociedad, bringing the former rivals together to fight a common enemy. On June 18 at Triplemanía XIX, Electroshock, Heavy Metal and Joe Líder defeated Silver King, Último Gladiador and Chessman in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match. On October 9 at Héroes Inmortales, Electroshock defeated eight other men to win the Copa Antonio Peña. On August 5, 2012, at Triplemanía XX, Electroshock teamed up with L.A. Park as Team Joaquín Roldán in a Hair vs. Hair match, where they faced Team Dorian Roldán (Jeff Jarrett and Kurt Angle), with the Roldáns' hairs on the line. Electroshock won the match for his team by pinning Angle, forcing Dorian to have his head shaved bald. However, after the match, the rudos overpowered the technicos and shaved Joaquín bald. On December 8, 2013, at Guerra de Titanes, Electroshock received his first shot at the AAA Latin American Championship, but was unable to dethrone the defending champion, Blue Demon, Jr. On August 17, 2014, at Triplemanía XXII, Electroshock lost his hair to fellow técnico El Mesías in a six-way steel cage Lucha de Apuestas.

Holocausto (2015) After losing his hair to El Mesías, Electroshock entered a storyline, where he began teasing retirement from professional wrestling. However, on January 23, 2015, Electroshock instead turned rudo and formed a new partnership with El Hijo de Pirata Morgan. Electroshock's new stable was later named Holocausto. On May 2, 2016, Electroshock left AAA.

Independent circuit (2016–present) Following his departure from AAA, Pozos adopted the new ring name "Mr. Elektro" or "Mr. Electro" due to his old ring name being owned by AAA. On June 12, 2016 Mr. Electro defeated Máscara Año 2000 Jr. by disqualification, thus winning the IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship in the process as IWRG rules state a championship changes hands on a disqualification. Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship (1 time) Mexican National Tag Team Championship (3 times) – with Abismo Negro (2), Chessman (1) Copa Antonio Peña (2011) Federation of Radio and Television Associations Golden Microphone (2012) International Wrestling Revolution Group IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship (2 times) Pro Wrestling Illustrated PWI ranked him #57 of the top 500 singles wrestlers in the PWI 500 in 2010
