Rogelio Espinoza López is a Mexican luchador, or professional wrestler, better known under the ring name Pequeño Halcón, sometimes referred to as simply Halcón. He is working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) in their Mini-Estrella division. Working in the Mini-Estrellas division does not necessarily mean that Pequeño Halcón is a dwarf as several wrestlers who are just shorter in stature work in the "Mini" division. His ring name is Spanish for "Little Falcon", the same name that his father competed under during his professional wrestling career. Halcón worked under mask until April 2014, when he lost a match and forced to unmask and reveal his identity as a result.
Halcón is a third generation professional wrestler, his grandfather Juan José Espinoza Meza wrestled under the ring name "Halcón Suriano" ("Falcon Suriano") until his death in 1993. His father and two of his uncles are or were also professional wrestlers, his father worked under the name Pequeño Halcón ("Little Falcon") and his uncles as Caballero Halcón ("Falcon Knight") and Príncipe Halcón ("Falcon Prince") There is no family relations to José Luis Melchor Ortiz who was best known as Halcón, Halcón Ortiz and Super Halcón nor to Ortiz' son Super Halcón, Jr.
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. Pequeño Halcón made his in ring debut under the ring name Caballero Halcon, Jr., taking the name of his uncle Caballero Halcón as he tried originally did not work as a Mini-Estrella and thus would not make sense to work as "Pequeño Halcón, Jr." after his father. Like his father he fell into a category where at times he competed as a regular sized competitor and at other times as a Mini-Estrella due to his short stature.
