Tiger (born February 12, 1987) is a Mexican Luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler, working for the Mexico City based professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). He was previously known by the ring name Tiger Kid (sometimes spelled Tiger Kidd), but the name was shortened in June 2011. He frequently teams with his brother, luchador Puma. Tiger'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 part of the Casas wrestling family, son of El Felino using a ring character and a mask very similar to his father and has been trained by his uncle, professional wrestler Negro Casas.
Tiger Kid is part of the Casas wrestling family as he is the son of Jorge Luis Casas (El Felino) and the nephew of Negro Casas and Erick Casas. He made his debut In February 2006, wrestling as "Kid Tiger". Neither Tiger Kid, nor his younger brother Puma King, hid the fact that they were part of the Casas family, and with the use of the feline inspired names and mask that closely resembled the mask worn by El Felino it was speculated that they were the sons of El Felino. This was later denied by Tiger Kid, claiming that they chose their names and masks as a tribute to their favorite uncle. In an interview with SuperLuchas published in early June 2010 El Felino finally revealed that he was indeed the father of both Tiger Kid and Puma King, but had kept it a secret to allow his children to succeed or fail on their own merits and not because of their family relationship to El Felino.
