Octagóncito

Early life Octagoncito came from a very poor family; his father made a living selling coffee and orange juice and the family had very little money. Growing up he was a big fan of Lucha libre, especially such colorful characters as Super Muñeco and Super Pinocchio. Four months later La Parkita teamed with Octagoncito and a third Mini-Estrella to defeat Mini Goldust, Mini Mankind and Pentagoncito on the undercard of Triplemanía V-A.

El Pequeño Amo de los Ocho Ángulos After about a year working as La Parkita, Peña decided to drop the character all together since the original La Parka had left the promotion. Peña offered him a new character, "Mini Venum", based on the Venum character from Los Cadetes del Espacion group, a character he was not too thrilled about. After leaving the office he met Octagón, who gave him permission to become the new Octagóncito. Like La Parkita before him the original Octagoncito had left AAA. On May 5, 1999, Octagoncito regained the Mexican National Mini-Estrella Championship from Mini Abismo Negro, becoming the first wrestler to hold the title twice. On November 5, 2000 Octagoncito's second reign as Mexican National Mini-Estrella Champion ended when Rocky Marvin won the title from him during a show in Monterrey, Nuevo León. Five months later the two met in yet another Lucha de Apuesta match, this time Octagoncito earned the right to shave all of Mini Psicosis' hair off after the match. 2007 was one of the busiest years for the Mini-Estrellas division and for Octagoncito who competed at four of AAA's six major shows that year. On July 15, 2007, he participated in a Relevos Atómicos de locura match (Spanish for "Eight-man madness match") that featured two teams of four, each comprising a male wrestler, a female wrestler, an Exotico wrestler, and a Mini-Estrella each which took place at Triplemanía XV. Octagoncito teamed with El Oriental (Male), Cinthia Moreno (Female) and Pimpinela Escarlata (Exotico), but lost to the team of Alfa (Male), Faby Apache (Female), Mini Abismo Negro and Cassandro (Exotico) when Alfa pinned El Oriental. At the 2007 Verano de Escandalo Octagoncito was once again involved in a Relevos Atómicos de locura match as he teamed with Aero Star, Rey Cometa and Estrellitaing, losing to Alfa, Pirata Morgan, Faby Apache and Mini Chessman. On September 3, 2007, Octagoncito travelled to Japan along with a number of AAA wrestlers to wrestle on a AAA/Pro Wrestling Noah co-promoted show called TripleSEM where he teamed with Mascarita Divina to defeat Los Mini Vipers (Mini Histeria and Mini Abismo Negro). Octagoncito also wrestled in the opening match of the first Antonio Peña Memorial show, teaming with Mascarita Divina and La Parkita to defeat Los Mini Vipers (Mini Charly Manson, Mini Chessman and Mini Histeria).

In mid-2008 AAA decided to create the AAA World Mini-Estrella Championship after the reigning Mexican National Mini-Estrella Champion Mascarita Sagrada left AAA, taking the championship belt with him. The tournament to crown the inaugural champion ran from July 20, 2008, until September 14, 2008, with the finals at the 2008 Verano de Escandalo event. On July 25, 2008, Octagoncito defeated Mini Chessman in the first round of the tournament. Octagoncito was the first of the competitors to qualify for the finals as he defeated Mini Kenzo Suzuki in the semi-finals of the tournament on August 15, 2009. On December 11, 2009, Octagoncito was one of nine wrestlers who participated in a Battle Royal for the AAA World Minis title at Guerra de Titanes (2009). Octagoncito was the eighth and last man eliminated from the match, thrown out of the ring by Mini Abismo Negro who won the title as a result. In May 2010 AAA announced that they were planning to hold the first ever Mini-Estrellas Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match at Triplemanía XVIII where Mini Abismo Negro would defend the title against six challengers, including Octagoncito. In the weeks leading up to the event Mini Abismo Negro, Mini Histeria and Mini Psicosis defeated Mascarita Divina, Mini Charly Manson and Octagoncito in a match that featured the use of both tables, ladders and chairs to preview the Triplemanía XVIII match. At Triplemanía XVIII Octagoncito outlasted eight other wrestlers (La Parkita and Mini Chessman were late additions to the match) in the TLC match to become the new AAA Mini-Estrella Champion.
