[edit] Career

Born in San Luis Potosí, San Luis Potosí, Mexico, Dos graduated from UNAM where he earned a degree in architecture.^[2]

Caras made his pro wrestling debut on October 11, 2000, teaming with his father Dos Caras to defeat El Azteca and Chiba, in an event promoted by the Japanese independent promotion Pro Wrestling Kageki. This card was held in Shimonoseki.

Before turning pro, Caras Jr. was a member of the Mexican national team in Greco-Roman wrestling for five years, and he placed third at the World Junior Championships in 1997 (held in Czech Republic), won the Central American and Caribbean Games three times and also won a medal at the Pan American Games. He was looking forward to competing in the Sydney 2000 Olympics, but due to lack of support and political and government problems Mexico could not send any representatives to the Olympic wrestling competition, so he turned pro instead.^[3]

He made his AAA debut on September 4 when he ran-in during a match involving his father, who was getting beat up by Texano, Pirata Morgan and Espectro Jr., but his first actual match was on September 29, 2000, in AAA's "Verano de Escándalo" supershow. He teamed with Alebrije, Sangre Chicana and La Parka Jr. to beat "Los Consagrados" (Pirata Morgan, Espectro Jr., El Texano and El Cobarde).

During his first months he feuded with the veteran stable of "Los Consagrados," and on January 21, 2001, he failed (teaming with his father) to conquer Texano and Pirata Morgan's National Tag Team titles.

Dos Caras Jr. has been pushed as a top heavyweight tecnico since joining CMLL, but he lacks a notable feud at the moment. He's had mini feuds with Ultimo Guerrero, Universo 2000, Kenzo Suzuki and Mark "Marco Corleone" Jindrak, formed a team with Lizmark Jr. and Rey Bucanero, and done some work as a trio with Dr. Wagner Jr. and Mistico, but really hasn't had a monumental feud.

Dos has also done some MMA fighting - sometimes with his mask and sometimes without - for DEEP and PRIDE. His MMA training included training at Marco Ruas gym. He's incorporated submissions to his fighting style.^[4]

One of his memorial match was against Kengo Watanabe in DEEP:2nd Impact when he did one of his trademark wrestling move German suplex which broke Kengo Watanabe's arm.
