Ángel Azteca Jr. (born June 1, 1980) is a Mexican Luchador Enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler, currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). He is not the actual son of Luchador Ángel Azteca, but got permission to use the name by the original before he died in 2007, Ángel Azteca Jr. is the son of Viente Negro. Angel Azteca Jr.'s real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. Ángel Azteca Jr. forms a trio called Los Ángeles Celestiales ("The Celestial Angels") along with Ángel de Oro and Ángel de Plata. Ángel Azteca Jr. is Spanish for "Aztec Angel Jr."
The wrestler who today is known as Ángel Azteca Jr. made his professional wrestling debut in 1995, at the age of just 15. Early on he wrestled under the ring name Cobrita Oriental ("Little Asian Cobra"). Later on he would adopt the ring name Fantastico II, teaming with Fantastico I to form Los Fantasticos. It has not been confirmed that Fantastico I was his brother, but later on the two did team together. In 2005/2006 he adopted the name Ángel Azteca Jr. and his brother began wrestling as Ángel Azteca II, both having paid the original Ángel Azteca for the rights to use the name. The original Ángel Azteca even returned to the ring to help jumpstart the careers of Ángel Azteca Jr. and Ángel Azteca II. The original Ángel Azteca died in early 2007, after which Ángel Azteca II changed his ring name to Imperio Azteca while Ángel Azteca Jr. kept his name as an homage to his mentor. Since the death of Ángel Azteca promoters have been very careful not to bill Ángel Azteca Jr. as the actual son of the original and more of his successor.
By mid-2007 Ángel Azteca Jr. wrestled full-time for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre as a low-card Tecnico (fan favorite). On October 2, 2007 he participated in the 2007 Reyes del Aire ("Kings of the Air") Torneo cibernetico but lost to eventual winner Virus.
