[edit] Career

Debuting professionally at the age of 15, "Perrito" started out wrestling established veterans who could bring the best out of him in AAA. He teamed with father semi-regularly and the pair won the National Tag Team titles on two occasions. Perrito really made impact by teaming with Héctor Garza and engaging in a four-way feud with Heavy Metal and Latin Lover. There were various tag matches and four-way matches for the next few years with Garza and Metal losing their hair at different times. In May of 2003, Perrito jumped from AAA to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre. He was initially brought in as a face to team with Negro Casas against Los Guerreros del Infierno however, Aguayo did not get very good reactions from the crowd. CMLL decided to turn him heel by winning a tournament for a shot at Atlantis' Michinoku Junior Heavyweight title. He won the tournament over heels but they were popular heels like Dr. Wagner, Jr. and Rey Bucanero who had made their name in CMLL so by the time he met babyface Atlantis for the title, he was a heel.

The title challenge was unsuccessful but Aguayo was quickly put into a program with Los Capos with the story being he was getting revenge on Universo 2000 for ending his father's career. However, Shocker's popular Los Guapos group backed Aguayo and he became face again. The feud continued through the winter and into 2004 and was ended when Aguayo and El Terrible (a member of Los Guapos) defeated Cien Caras and Máscara Año 2000 in a double hair vs. hair match. During the spring, he once again backed up Negro Casas along with Shocker in his feud with Pierroth, Jr., Vampiro Canadiense and Tarzan Boy. The two groups went at it in trios, singles and tag matches before they were put in the annual "Cage of Death" match where the last two men in the cage, regardless of which team they are on, face each other in a hair vs. hair match. The heel trio escaped early and Shocker made a quick exit as well. Aguayo and Casas faced each other and Perro pinned Casas and took his hair.

Tensions began to rise between Casas and Aguayo and when Héctor Garza jumped to CMLL in July, Aguayo ditched Casas and joined him. After turning heel again, he took part in the Leyenda de Plata tournament, an annual tournament in the honor of lucha libre legend El Santo. After securing his place in the semifinals, he interfered in Negro Casas' match and cost him his match, allowing Atlantis to advance. After defeating Atlantis, he face the previous year's winner Felino for the trophy. After winning the match, El Hijo del Santo came to the ring to award the trophy to Aguayo. Aguayo said he didn't want the trophy and smashed it, claiming that Santo wasn't nearly the legend that Perro Aguayo, Sr. was. The angle was hot and played off the feud the original Santo and Perro Aguayo had during the 1970s. Due to Hijo del Santo's short tour with CMLL, the feud was rushed with an indecisive singles match. The closest thing to closure for the feud was a trios match at the CMLL 71st Anniversary show where the team soon to be named La Furia del Norte of Hijo de Perro Aguayo, Hèctor Garza and El Terrible defeated Hijo del Santo, Negro Casas and Shocker. After that match, Santo focused more on his program with Averno and Los Guerreros del Infierno and Aguayo focused on Casas. Aguayo lost to Casas for the 71st Anniversary show trophy and the feud cooled down from there on.

In November of that year, he reheated his feud with Los Capos by teaming frequently with Vampiro and Pierroth, Jr. who were also feuding Los Capos at the time. At the year-end show, he had another singles match with Universo 2000 which led to Aguayo's father running in and making the save. In February of 2005, Perro Aguayo, Sr. announced his return to wrestling for one match where he would team with his son against Cien Caras and Máscara Año 2000 in a double hair vs. hair match. Aguayo and son won the match which was billed as Cien Caras' retirement match (Cien Caras would continue to wrestle but not in CMLL's main arenas). Soon after the match, La Familia de Tijuana (Halloween and Damián 666) and Aguayo decided to start a new faction, Los Perros del Mal. Soon, the group would consist of Aguayo, La Familia, La Furia del Norte, Blue Demon, Jr., Pierroth, Jr. and his two sons. The group took in many rivals as well including Negro Casas, Felino, Heavy Metal (who had just humped from AAA), Máscara Mágica, Universo 2000 and Perro's new focus, the new star Místico who defeated Aguayo in a main event singles match. The two agreed to a hair vs. mask match but no date was announced. Los Perros del Mal faced off against their rivals in the 2005 edition of the "Cage of Death" match where Damián 666 took the hair of Máscara Mágica.
