Jesús Reyes González (born March 10, 1958) is a Mexican Luchador, or professional wrestler, best known under the ring name Máscara Año 2000 or Máscara Año Dos Mil. His ring name is Spanish for "Mask of the year 2000", originally referring to the mask Reyes wore while wrestling. Reyes was forced to unmask when he lost a Lucha de Apuesta (bet match) to Perro Aguayo in 1993. Throughout his career Reyes has often teamed with his two brothers Carmelo, who wrestles as Cien Caras and Andrés, who wrestles as Universo 2000, the three are collectively known as Los Hermanos Diniamita ("The Dynamite Brothers") or Los Capos ("The Bosses") when they team with Apolo Dantés. Reyes has earned the nickname "El Padre de más de 20" ("Father of more than 20") by wrestling commentators even though he does not quite have 20 children.
Jesús Reyes was the second of the Reyes brothers to take up professional wrestling, making his debut in 1977, only a few years after huis older brother Carmelo Reyes González who wrestled under the ring name "Cien Caras". Reyes took the name Titán, an enmascarado, or masked, ring character. He would later change his ring name to "Máscara Año 2000", "The Mask of the year 2000", a name he would be best known under.
Both Reyes brothers worked regularly for Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL) from the early 1980s and they also brought in their younger brother who worked as Universo 2000 to form a trio billed as Los Hermanos Dinamita ("The Dynamite Brothers"). On April 16, 1986 Máscara Año 2000 and Cien Caras defeated Rayo de Jalisco and Tony Benetto to win the Mexican National Tag Team Championship. They held and successfully defended the title for almost a year before losing it to Los Infernales (MS-1 and Masakre) on March 26, 1987. Universo 2000 was originally chosen to be the wrestler to unmask the legendary Aníbal, who had returned for the big payday a mask loss is. But during the buildup promoter Benjamin Mora, who was bitter at EMLL for not working with him, revealed several of EMLL's plans including who was going to unmask Aníbal. CMLL decided to change their plans and in the end it was Máscara Año 2000, that was given the victory over Aníbal. In late 1990-early 1991 EMLL changed their name to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). On August 11, 1991 Los Hermanos Dinamita won the Mexican National Trios Championship when they defeated Los Movie Stars (Atlantis, Máscara Sagrada and Octagón) to win the title.
