The Panther, formerly known as Cachorro is the ring name of a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) portraying a tecnico ("Good guy") wrestling character. Cachorro'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. He is the son of Genaro Vazquez Nevarez, better known as Blue Panther, and the brother of wrestler Blue Panther, Jr.. Cachorro is Spanish for "Cub", playing off his father's "Blue Panther" ring name.
Cachorro is the youngest son of professional wrestler Genaro Vazquez Nevarez, better known under the ring name Blue Panther and brother of Black Panther. His full given name is not a matter of public record in accordance with Lucha Libre traditions where the true identity of masked wrestlers is kept private whenever possible. Both of Nevarez' sons were featured in interviews around their father well before they became professional wrestlers, their names were never explicitly stated and they always wore the same Blue Panther mask that their father used to conceal their identifies and that of the then masked Nevarez. He is the cousin of Jesus Toral López, better known as Black Warrior, a long time wrestler.
CMLL originally stated that Cachorro made his professional wrestling debut in early 2014 when he began working under the "Cachorro" ring name, but later on revealed his true debut year as 2011. Due to the secrecy of masked wrestlers in Mexico it has never been confirmed what ring name or mask he used between 2011 and 2014. He was first introduced as "Cachorro" and wearing a black and white version of his father's Panther themed mask during a show to honor his father's 35th anniversary as a wrestler in the fall of 2013. At the time his older brother was also introduced to the wrestling world as Black Panther with a similar mask, but no announcement of their debut date was given at the time.
