Stukita (born May 8, 1994) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler, under contract with 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. Stukita'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 is the diminutive form of "Stuka", as he portrays a smaller version of wrestlers Stuka and Stuka, Jr.. He is a third generation wrestler with both his father and grandfather being professional wrestlers before him.
Stukita 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 three of his uncles are or were also professional wrestlers, his father worked under the name Halcón Suriano, Jr. and his uncles as Pequeño Halcón ("Little Falcon"), Príncipe Halcón ("Prince Falcon") and Caballero Halcón ("Falcon Knight"). He is the cousin of Pequeño Halcón, who is the son of the original Pequeño Halcón.
Stukita was trained for a professional wrestling career at a very young age after having grown up in the business watching his father, grandfather and uncles all perform in the ring. Most of his initial training was done by his, deeming him ready for his debut a few days before his thirteenth birthday. Initially he worked under the ring name Principe Halcon, or sometimes Principe Halcon, Jr. after his uncle since his father was already working as a "Junior" and he did not want to go with "El Niete de Halcón Suriano" ("The Grandson of Halcón Suriano"). He worked on the Mexican Independent circuit around his native Torreón, Coahuila and primarily in the Mini-Estrella division against other wrestlers of short stature or actual little people as is the tradition in Lucha Libre.
