Professional wrestling career

Aguilar made his professional wrestling debut in 2001, working as an enmascarado (masked wrestler) under the ring name Kempo Kid. Aguilar worked as the Kempo Kid to gain experience without having the pressure of his father's name. After working as Kempo Kid for approximately 2 years, Aguilar lost a Luchas de Apuestas match, a "bet match" where the loser had to unmask, to Stuka, Jr.[2] After being forced to unmask and reveal his name per Lucha Libre traditions he was acknowledged as the son of El Texano and soon after began working as El Texano, Jr..[3]

Since he changed his ring name to El Texano, Jr. Aguilar has been a regular wrestler for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), the world's oldest and Mexico's largest wrestling promotion. From 2005 until 2007 Texano, Jr. has also made several tours of Japan, working for New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), primarily teaming with Lizmark, Jr. or Negro Casas.[4] On October 7, 2005 Texano, Jr. won his first professional wrestling championship when he teamed up with El Sagrado and Máximo to defeat Pandilla Guerrera (Spanish for "Gang of Warriors"; Sangre Azteca, Doctor X and Nitro) to win the Mexican National Trios Championship.[5] Over the next 569 days Texano, Jr., Sagrado and Máximo defended the Trios title against teams such as Danger, Infierno, Magnum; deposed champions Doctor X, Nitro, Sangre Azteca and the team of Arkangel, Doctor X and Misterioso II.[6] On April 29, 2007 the team lost the Mexican National Trios Title to the Los Perros del Mal ("The Evil Dogs") faction of Mr. Águila, Damián 666 and Halloween. The title change was facilitated by El Texano, Jr. turning on his partners mid-match, giving Los Perros an easy victory.[7] Not long after turning Rudo (the Lucha Libre term for heel, or villain) Texano, Jr. joined Los Perros del Mal and began teaming with El Terrible on a regular basis.

On June 13, 2008 Texano, Jr. participated in the main event of CMLL's annual Infierno en el Ring show, a multi-man Steel Cage Match where the last man in the ring would have his hair shaved off. The match involved Los Perros del Mal, represented by Texano, Jr. Damián 666, Mr. Águila, El Terrible and Perro Aguayo, Jr. while the tecnico (Face or good guys in wrestling) was represented by Alex Koslov, Marco Corleone, Shocker, Negro Casas and Heavy Metal. The match ended up with Texano, Jr. and Heavy Metal being the last two in the ring, Texano pinned Heavy Metal forcing him to have his head shaved bald after the match.[8] On August 26, 2008 Texano, Jr. and El Terrible defeated Sagrado and Rayman to win the Occidente Tag Team Championship, a regional tag team title defended mainly in Guadalajara.[9] In late 2008 Perros del Mal leader Perro Aguayo, Jr. decided to leave CMLL taking with him most of the Perros del Mal group, only El Texano, Jr. and El Terrible decided not to leave CMLL.

When Averno and Mephisto formed the group Los Hijos del Averno (The Sons of Hell) both Texano, Jr. and El Terrible joined the group. On March 8, 2009 Texano, Jr. won his second big "Luchas de Apuestas" match, defeating former team mate Máximo, forcing him to have his head shaved.[10] Texano, Jr. continued to be successful as he won his first singles championship, the NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship from Atlantis on April 5, 2009.[11] Holding the NWA Light Heavyweight Championship qualified Texano, Jr. for the "CMLL Universal Championship" tournament, a single elimination tournament for all male CMLL endorsed champions. El Texano, Jr. won block A on June 5 defeating Hijo del Fantasma (CMLL World Trios Champion), Black Warrior (Mexican National Trios Champion) and La Sombra (CMLL World Tag Team Champion) to qualify for the final.[12] Texano, Jr. was defeated by Último Guerrero in the finals of the tournament on June 19, 2009.[13] On July 24, 2009 El Texano, Jr. made his first successful NWA World Light Heavyweight Title defense, defeating former champion Shocker.[14] In the fall of 2009 Texano, Jr. and El Terrible became involved in a long running "Mexico vs. Japan" storyline that had been going on since the summer as they began working with the Japanese duo No Limit (Yujiro and Naito). On December 4, 2009 Terrible and Texano, Jr. defeated No Limit in a Luchas de Apuesta hair vs. hair match that was the main event of CMLL's Sin Salida show. After the match both members of No Limit had their heads shaved completely bald per Lucha libre traditions.[15] On February 14, 2010 Texano, Jr. and Terrible travelled to Japan to challenge No Limit for the IWGP Tag Team Championship, but were not able to defeat No Limit in their home country.[16] By virtue of holding the NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship El Texano, Jr. participated in the 2010 Universal Championship tournament. He was part of "Block A" that competed on the July 30, 2010 Super Viernes show. He co-won the eight-man seeding battle royal, and then won his first round match by defeating Ephesto. The second round was a rematch from the previous year's tournament, only this time La Sombra eliminated El Texano, Jr. and not vice versa.[17] On August 12, 2010, El Texano, Jr.'s NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship was replaced with the new NWA World Historic Light Heavyweight Championship. In October and November 2010, El Texano, Jr. and El Terrible took part in New Japan's 2010 G1 Climax Tag League. After victories over Takashi Iizuka and Toru Yano and No Limit, Texano, Jr. and Terrible finished fifth in their block and didn't advance to the semifinals of the tournament.[18][19][20] On December 14, 2010, El Texano, Jr. lost the NWA World Historic Light Heavyweight Championship to Shocker.[21] In April 2011, Texano, Jr. and El Terrible left Los Hijos del Averno to form a new group with Rey Bucanero.[22] The following month, the group was named La Fuerza TRT.[23]

On November 22 it was reported that El Texano, Jr. had left CMLL and joined Perros del Mal Producciones.[24] On November 24, El Texano, Jr. appeared at a press conference, where he was officially presented as the newest member of the promotion, appearing alongside his brother Super Nova, who also works for the promotion.[25] On December 8, El Texano, Jr. and Toscano appeared at another press conference, where it was announced that they were also joining CMLL's rival promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA).[26] Later that day at an International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) event, both El Texano, Jr. and Super Nova joined the Perros del Mal stable.[27] El Texano, Jr. made his AAA debut on December 16 at Guerra de Titanes, forming the stable El Consejo ("The Council") with former CMLL workers Toscano and Máscara Año 2000, Jr.[28]
