Eléctrico (born August 21, 1986) is a Mexican Luchador enmascarado or masked professional wrestler who currently works for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) in their Mini-Estrella division. He is the current Mexican National Lightweight Champion. Eléctrico'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. Working in the Mini division does not necessarily mean that Eléctrico has dwarfism as several short wrestlers work in the "Mini" division, which is what separates the Mexican Mini-Estrella from traditional Midget professional wrestling as practiced in the United States and other places.
Eléctrico began his training at the age of just 15, training under Tony Salazar and Panchito Villalobos and later received further training by Ringo Mendoza, Arturo Beristain and Satánico when he began training at Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's (CMLL) wrestling school in Guadalajara, Jalisco. Records are unclear on whether Eléctrico worked as a professional wrestler before 2006 when he made his debut for CMLL. Since he is masked, his true name is not known, nor are any former ring names he may have used before joining CMLL. He made his debut on July 7, 2006 wrestling as "Eléctrico" an enmascarado character in CMLL's Mini-Estrellas division who wrestles as a técnico (the Lucha term for "good guy"). While some Mini-Estrellas often wrestle as smaller versions of regular sized wrestlers Eléctrico does not have a larger counterpart. Eléctrico briefly wrestled using a different mask and the name "Cosmico" but soon after reverted to wrestling as Eléctrico and another wrestler was given the Cosmico character instead. The two Mini-Estrellas even teamed up on occasion. In 2008 Eléctrico won the CMLL Physical Fitness contest for the minis division, crediting his mother with instilling in him the work ethic that allowed him to get in good enough shape to win the competition. On September 19, 2008 he was one of 10 wrestlers to compete in a torneo cibernetico where the winner would qualify for the finals of a tournament for the vacant Mexican National Lightweight Championship, but was eliminated by eventual cibernetico winner Mascarita Dorada.
