Psycho Clown (born December 16, 1985) is the ring name of a Mexican Luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler. Psycho Clown's ring character is that of a nightmarish clown and he is part of Los Psycho Circus along with Monster Clown and Murder Clown. Psycho Clown'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. Part of the Alvarado wrestling family, He is the son of José Alvarado Nieves who wrestles under the ring name "Brazo de Plata" and has previously worked as Brazo de Plata, Jr.. His siblings, wrestlers Máximo, Goya Kong, Andros de Plata, and Muñeca de Plata are also professional wrestlers.
The wrestler who would later become known as Psycho Clown was born on December 16, 1985, son of Luchador José Alvarado Nieves, better known under the ring names Brazo de Plata or Super Porky. He is one of Alvarado's six children and was the first of them to take up wrestling although he was later joined by at least one brother and two sisters.
He was not trained by his father or any of his uncles for his professional wrestling career, instead Memo Díaz was responsible for training the young Alvarado as well as his brother José Christian. He made his debut in 2000 working as Brazo de Plata, Jr. ("Silver Arm, Jr."), taking his father's name and adopting the same style mask his father had worn. Early in his career he worked mainly on the Mexican independent circuit for a number of smaller promotions. One of these promotions was the Xtreme Latin American Wrestling (XLAW) promotion which was where he won his first wrestling championship. On December 16, 2001, Brazo de Plata, Jr. won the XLAW Junior Heavyweight Championship, only to lose it later in the night to Crazzy Boy.
