Javier Teucli Roldán (born July 3, 1968 in Puebla, Puebla, Mexico is a retired Mexican Luchador or professional wrestler best known under the name Sombrita ("Little Shadow"). Teucli also worked under the ring name Pequeño Bronce early in his career as a smaller version of the wrestling character Bronce. Teucli worked in the Mini-Estrella division his entire career, working in the Mini division does not necessarily mean that Teucli has dwarfism as several short wrestlers work in the "Mini" division, which is what separates the Mexican Mini-Estrella from traditional Midget professional wrestling as practiced in the United States among other places.
Teucli Roldán trained for his professional wrestling career under Ray Mendoza, José Luis Feliciano and Hijo del Gladiador in the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) wrestling school prior to making his in ring debut.
He made in ring debut for CMLL in August 1992, brought in to CMLL to fill the void in their Mini-Estrellas division after a large portion of them left CMLL in the summer of 1992 to join the newly formed Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA). He initially competed as the masked "Pequeño Bronce" ("Little Bronze") a Mini-Estrella version of the wrestler known as Bronce. Pequeño Bronce regularly teamed with Orito, just like Bronce had often teamed with Oro. On October 26, 1993 Oro died after an in ring accident. Which led to CMLL abandoning the Orito character not long after out of respect. With Orito gone from the ring Pequeño Bronce, as a character, did not last much longer in CMLL either.
