Hechicero / Rey Hechicero (born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and on the Mexican independent circuit portraying a rudo ("Bad guy") wrestling character. He is the current NWA World Historic Light Heavyweight Champion. In 2016, he made his debut both in Japan for New Japan Pro Wrestling and in the United States for Ring of Honor.
Hechicero'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. He is billed as "Rey Hechicero" when making appearances outside of CMLL, but there is no pretense that it is two different characters that he is playing. Hechicero is Spanish for "Wizard" and "Rey Hechicero" means "Wizard King".
In Lucha Libre there is a long-standing tradition of keeping the personal information of masked wrestlers private from the public, including wrestling promotions not revealing their real names and news outlets not asking for personal details in interviews. Because of this tradition the real name of the wrestler known under the ring names Rey Hechicero and Hechicero is not public knowledge, nor has the year of his birth been established, Hechicero himself has stated that he made his debut, on February 15, 2001, referring to it as "Hechicero's" birthday. Hechicero resides in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico but it has not been confirmed if this is also his birthplace. During interviews he revealed that he had been trained by a number of Monterrey local wrestlers both before making his debut and after such as Arcángel, Cachorrro Zapata, Chucho Villa, Garringo, Mario Segura, Pequeño Diamante and Katsuyori Shibata.
