Hijo del Signo, also known as Signo, Jr. (born April 30, 1987 in Mexico City, Mexico) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) portraying a rudo ("Bad guy") wrestling character. Hijo del Signo'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. His ring name is Spanish for "Son of the Sign", based on the ring name of his father El Signo.
Hijo del Signo's full name is not publicly known, which is traditionally the case in Lucha Libre when a wrestler has never been unmasked, but it is known that his paternal last name is Sánchez, revealed when his father Antonio Sánchez Rendón, best known under the ring name El Signo, was unmasked.
Hijo del Signo made his professional wrestling debut in early 2008 after training under his father as well as Gory Cortes, Bestia Magnifica, Viento Negro and Black Terry He was victorious in his first match, defeating a Mexican wrestler called Maytor. He was able to work on a number of high-profile independent circuit wrestling shows through his father's connections, including a benefit show for Kato Kung Lee. He also competed in a 2009 Torneo Novatos (Rookies Tournament) torneo cibernetico elimination match, although he did not win the tournament. He competed for the 2009 Toryumon Mexico's Young Dragons Cup, losing to eventual tournament winner Trauma II. Hijo del Signo became an International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) regular, working their 2010 Torneo Relampago de Proyeccion a Nuevas Promesas de la Lucha Libre ("Projecting a new promise lightning tournament"), a tag team tournament where a rookie teams up with an experienced wrestler. Hijo del Signo was teamed up with Dr. Cerebro for the tournament, defeating Imperial and Rocket in the first round and then Guizmo and Ultraman, Jr. in the second round. The team continued their success by defeating Oficial 911 and Comando Negro in the finals to win the tournament. On March 19, 2010 Hijo del Signo was one of 38 wrestlers to enter the Copa Amigo Por Siempre elimination match, a match that included such Lucha Libre names as El Canek, Oficial AK-47, Axxel, Guerrero Maya, Jr., Máscara Año 2000, Jr., Rey Cometa, Scorpio, Jr., Tinieblas and Tinieblas, Jr. The tournament was won by El Canek.
