Biography

Currently one of the most popular technicos in CMLL, Dr. Wagner, Jr. is the legitimate son of lucha libre legend Dr. Wagner and the younger brother of Silver King.

Dr. Wagner, Jr. first started wrestling for Universal Wrestling Association in April 1986 at just 20 years of age. Expectations were high for Wagner Jr. as Dr. Wagner, Sr. became a legandary rudo, achieving notoriety in the ring and also on the silver screen. With his father acheiving his earliest and greatest success in EMLL, and so would it be for the son who adopted the mask of the "el Galeno del Mal".

Tragically on the very day that Dr. Wagner, Jr. was to make his in-ring debut as his father's tag-team partner, Wagner Sr. was involved in a horrific car accident that not only killed his long-time partner Angel Blanco, but left Wagner Sr. disabled and unable to continue his wrestling career.

Wagner's star has continued to rise in Mexico since his debut. He has won a variety of different titles for the CMLL promotion. Besides holding the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship, he has also been a Trios championship at least four times, including with Gran Markus. Jr. & Hijo del Gladiador and also with Blue Panther & Black Warrior. He has also wrestled extensively in Japan, challenging (and ultimately being defeated by) Jushin Liger for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship and tagging with various partners such as his brother and Kendo Kashin, the latter of which he won the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. He has also competed in the U.S. as recently as January 2006.

Wagner is most popular when competing in the famed Arena México however, where his charismatic style and popular persona cause fans to blow airhorns three times and chant "WAG-NER!" when he's in the ring. Upon the death of his father, Wagner beame a sentimental fan favorite, and was suddenly a technico by default; Wagner was still wrestling as a rudo, but the fans began to cheer him. Soon Wagner rekindled his feuds with Atlantis and Canek, and was soon one of the most popular technicos in CMLL. In fact, in both his rivalries, it appeared the feuds were headed t a "mask versus mask" match, but in both cases the matches never came to pass. Soon Wagner was teaming with Místico regularly, as a mentor to the fast rising technico star.

Recently, Wagner has been engaged in a heated rivalry with L.A. Park, which apparently has boiled over from when Park unmasked Black Tiger III, revealing Silver King under the mask made famous first in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
