Maniaco (born May 20, 1966) is a Mexican Luchador, or professional wrestler best known for being a part of the Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) group Los Vipers. He currently works for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), although the storyline portrays him as an outsider, part of Los Independientes. Maniaco is a former four time holder of the Mexican National Atómicos Championship along with Histeria, Mosco de la Merced II and Psicosis II.
Maniaco originally wrestled under the name Negro Herodes before signing with the Mexican Professional wrestling promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) where he was given the ring name "Perro Silva". In one of his early matches as Perro Silva he teamed up with Karloff Lagarde, Jr. and Mr. Condor defeated Las Gemas del Ring (Zafiro, Brillante and Diamante) in a Lucha de Apuesta match to unmask the trio.Las Gemas gained a measure of revenge when they defeated the trio of Silva, Lagarde, Jr. and Mr. Condor at Triplemanía III-B two months later. Following Triplemanía III-B Perro Silva became involved in a storyline with the técnico group Los Power Raiders (dressed as the Power Rangers characters). Los Power Raiders (Raider Rojo, Raider Blanco, Raider Negro, Raider Verde and Raider Azur) defeated Perro Silva, Espectro, Karis la Momia, El Duende, and Halloween at Triplemanía III-C. AAA owner Antonio Peña was later forced to drop the Los Power Raiders characters due to lawsuit threats from Mattel who owns the copyright to the Power Rangers series. Peña turned Los Power Raiders into Los Cadetes del Espacio (Spanish for "The Space Cadets"; Boomerang, Discovery, Frisbee, Ludxor and Venum). At Triplemanía IV-B Perro Silva teamed with Halloween, Kraken, and Mosco de la Merced only to lose to Rey Misterio Jr., Oro, Jr., Winners, and Super Caló.
