Rafael Herbert Reyes

Rafael Herbert Reyes (born November 7, 1967) is a Dominican born professional wrestler, who has worked most of his career in Mexico. Reyes has used many ring names during his career, most notably Kendo Star, El Salsero, Pierko el Boricua and currently wrestles as the mask character Hijo del Pierroth or El Limón. Reyes is a former holder of the Mexican National Welterweight Championship, having won it as "El Salsero" while working for the Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) promotion. Reyes changed his name from Hijo del Pierroth to Pierko el Boricua after Pierroth, Jr. withdrew his endorsement for the various Pierroths in wrestling.

Professional wrestling career Rafael Reyes made his professional wrestling debut in 1981 under the name "Bunny Black", a name that Reyes used throughout the 1980s. In the early 1990s he adopted the name "Kendo Star", a masked wrestler based on the professional wrestler Kendo who is Reyes' uncle and gave him permission to use the name. In 1993 Reyes joined Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) and was given a new gimmick, El Salsero (Spanish for "The Salsa Dancer"), a comedy tecnico (face or "good guy" character). El Salsero participated in the first ever Triplemanía event where he teamed with Winners and Super Caló to defeat May Flowers, Rudy Reyna, and Baby Sharon. Salseo was unmasked after losing a Luchas de Apuestas to Juventud Guerrera on October 20, 1996 on a show in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. Following this Reyes adopted a new mask, inspired by Pierroth's yellow and black mask, but with gold instead of yellow and slight changes to the design. He also changes his ring name to Pierko el Boricua, a name he has used ever since. On December 13, 2009 Pierko el Boriqua lost a Lucha de Apuesta match to Silver Star and was forced to unmask. He has since then worked on the yellow and black mask again, although he has not been billed as Pierko, instead he resumed working as "Hijo del Pierroth". In July, 2010 he appeared on the first ever Lucha Libre: Masked Warriors on MTV2, he wore his usual "Pierko el Boriqua" mask and outfit but worked under the name El Limón.
