Pequeño Nitro is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler, working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) in their Mini-Estrella division. This does not necessarily mean that Pequeño Nitro is a dwarf as several wrestlers who are just shorter in stature work in the "Mini" division. Pequeño Nitro'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 name means "Little Nitro" and his ring character is based on Nitro, a regular-sized luchador.
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. No previous ring identities have been confirmed for Pequeño Nitro but it has been stated that he made his professional debut in 2005 and did not adopt the Pequeño Nitro mask and ring persona until 2009, which means he worked under other names before this. The Pequeño Nitro was introduced in the summer of 2009 where he was introduced as the first (and so far only) member of Los Pequeño Guerreros Tuareg ("The Little Tuareg Warriors"), a mini version of Los Guerreros Tuareg, led by Nitro. Nitro was working as a rudo (Spanish term for a person portraying a bad guy character in wrestling), which mean Pequeño Nitro was a rudo as well. While being a smaller version of Nitro CMLL did not have the two associate during matches. Pequeño Nitro made his in ring debut on July 14, 2009, teaming with Pequeño Violencia and Pequeño Black Warrior as they defeated the team of Bam Bam, Bracito de Oro and Electrico. On August 14, Pequeño Nitro was one of 14 wrestlers who risked their masks in a multi-man steel cage match where the last two people in the ring would have to wrestle under Lucha de Apuesta (bet match) rules inside the steel cage. Whoever lost the match would be forced to unmask per Lucha Libre traditions. This match saw Mini-Estrellas compete with regular sized competitors and saw Pequeño Nitro escape the cage to keep his mask safe. On March 7, 2010, Pequeño Nitro competed in the 2010 Pequeños Reyes del Aire ("Little Kings of the Air") tournament alongside Bam Bam, Electrico, Pequeño Damián 666, Pequeño Olímpico, Pequeño Universo 2000, Pequeño Violencia, Pequeño Black Warrior, Shockercito and Último Dragóncito in a Torneo cibernetico, a multi man elimination tournament. CMLL decided to book Pequeño Nitro as the 2010 tournament winner, giving him added exposure and credibility as a wrestler. The victory earned Pequeño Nitro a match for the CMLL World Mini-Estrella Championship the following week. Despite his Pequeño Reyes del Aire success Pequeño Nitro did not defeat Bam Bam.
