Mario Alberto González (born March 11, 1983) is a Mexican Luchador, best known by his ring name Rey Cometa (Spanish for "King Comet"). He is working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). Rey Cometa first gained national exposure when he worked for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) from 2005 until 2008. In AAA he was a part of the group Real Fuerza Aérea, consisting of young high flying wrestlers. As is usual with masked wrestlers in Mexico, Cometa's real name was not a matter of public record until he lost his mask in a match in September 2012.
González was trained by Dragon de Oriente I, II, Kaoma, Jr., and Atomico de Oro before making his debut on April 30, 1999, at the age of 16. Dragon de Oriente I originally worked as "Rey Cometa", but changed to "Dragon de Oriente I" in 1989. Dragon decided to give the "Rey Cometa" name to the best student in his class; initially González worked as "Rey Cometa, Jr." but the "Junior" part was quietly dropped within a year of his debut. In 2003 Rey Cometa defeated his trainer Kaoma, Jr. and Sarpa de Tigre in a Luchas de Apuesta (bet match) where both the losers had their hair shaved off after the match. During his time on the Mexican independent circuit Rey Cometa won the *Queretaro State Lightweight Championship once.
In 2005 Rey Cometa began working for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), one of Mexico's largest professional wrestling promotions. His first appearance of significance came when he was on the losing side of a match at AAA's 2005 Guerra de Titanes wrestling show, teaming with Laredo Kid, Hombre Sin Miedo, and Principe Zafiro, losing to Kaoma, Jr., Oscuridad, Rio Bravo, and Tito Santana. In 2006, Rey Cometa and Laredo Kid became two of the founding members of a group called Real Fuerza Aérea (Spanish for "the Royal Air Force"), a group of young high-flying wrestlers.Real Fuerza Area (Rey Cometa, Laredo Kid, Super Fly, and Nemesis) challenged the Black Family (Dark Ozz, Dark Espiritu, Dark Cuervo, and Dark Escoria for the Mexican National Atómicos Championship at Triplemanía XIV, but the match ended in a no contest. As a result of the match the Atómicos title was vacated, but the Black Family won the rematch the following month. Rey Cometa was one of the participants in the 2007 Alas de Oro tournament, but did not win. At the 2007 Verano de Escandalo event Cometa teamed with Aero Star, Estrellita, and Octagoncito, losing to the team of Alfa, Faby Apache, Gran Apache, and Mini Chessman. Subsequently Real Fuerza Aérea (Cometa, Aero Star, and Super Fly) defeated The Black Family (Dark Curervo, Dark Ozz, and Dark Escoria) on the undercard of the 2007 Guerra de Titanes show. In 2008 AAA focused more on Aero Star and Super Fly in storylines that took them away from Real Fuerza Aérea with the remaining members dropping down the card, if they wrestled at all. After working only sporadically for several months Rey Cometa, as well as Pegasso, left AAA. Initially the two worked for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) as Real Fuerza Aérea but soon after began working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Mexico's largest and oldest wrestling promotion.
