Tritón (born March 23, 1987) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) portraying a tecnico ("Good guy") wrestling character. Titan'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 previously worked under the ring name Metal Blanco from 2005 to 2011.
Tritón is the son of Luchador (professional wrestler) Flash, although he is no relation to Fuego, who used to work as "Flash" as well. Outside of his date and place of birth not much personal information has been revealed about Tritón, which is not uncommon in Mexico where they place a high degree of importance in keeping masked wrestler's identities private.
In Lucha Libre it is traditional to keep the true identify of a masked wrestler a secret, not revealing their real names and often not revealing what previous ring names they have competed under, at times the officially listed debut date indicates when a wrestler began wearing a specific mask and using a name, not the professional wrestling debut, thus it is possible Tritón has been wrestling longer than since 2006 and used a different name and mask before that.
The wrestler later known as Tritón made his debut on November 20, 2006, under the ring name Metal Blanco ("White Metal") incorporating white and metallic fabric in both his mask and wrestling trunks. Initially he worked in Guadalajara, Jalisco home of one of Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's main wrestling schools. Metal Blanco formed a tag team known as Los Metales ("The Metals"), sometimes referred to as La Fuerza M ("The Power of M") alongside Metatron and Metalik in the early part of his career. In 2007 Metal Blanco was given his first notable victory as he defeated Jeque in a Luchas de Apuestas ("Bet Match") where Jeque was forced to have his hair shaved after the loss. He would later gain a similar Luchas de Apuestas win over Vaquero. In 2008 Metalik was made a part of the main CMLL roster and was given a new name and image, working as Máscara Dorada instead, which ended the Los Metales team. During mid-2010 Metal Blanco and Stuka, Jr. started a storyline feud against Máscara Mágica and Exterminador, that played out on CMLL's weekly shows in Guadalajara, Jalisco. On July 27, 2010, Stuka, Jr. and Metal Blanco won a Lucha de Apuesta, masks vs. hair match. Stuka, Jr. and partner originally looked like they would have to unmask after losing the third fall, but the local wrestling commission voided the results of the third fall due to cheating by Máscara Mágica and Extreminador, restarting the match. In the end Stuka, Jr. and Metal Blanco won the third and deciding fall, forcing their opponents to be shaved bald pr. lucha libre traditions. In April 2010 Metal Blanco defeated Ángel del Mal to win the local Occidente Welterweight Championship
