Personal life
editJuan Manuel González Barrón was born on August 12, 1965, son of Magdalena Barrón and her husband Manuel González Rivera, better known as theluchador(professional wrestler)Dr. Wagner.Juan González was the second son born, with his brother Óscar being two years his elder. His parents later had another son,César Cuauhtémoc González Barrónand finally a daughter Mayra.[7]At one point in the late 1980s to 1990s Juan González was married to María del Rocío Moreno León, who is also a professional wrestler under the nameRossy Moreno,and together the couple had at least two sons,El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr.and Galeno del Mal.[8][7]Juan González' sons' names are not a matter of public knowledge as they wrestle asenmascarados,which traditionally means that their personal informations are kept from the general public perlucha libretraditions.[9]Juan González later remarried, although it is unclear if his current wife is directly involved withlucha libreor not.[8]In the early 2000s César González introduced the wrestling world to a son, referred to only as "El Hijo de Silver King", who at the time was training to be a wrestler.[7]
Professional wrestling career
editGonzález started out working as a masked wrestler known as El Invasor ( "The Invader" ). The anonymity of the El Invasor character allowed González to gain in-ring experience without the pressure of the Dr. Wagner name.[4]González only worked as El Invasor for about a year before it was decided to reveal his family relationship.[10]
González was slated to make his in-ring debut as Dr. Wagner Jr. in a match where he would team up with his father, to take on his father's former tag team partnerÁngel Blancoand Ángel Blanco Jr. on April 27, 1986. While driving to the show the car, carrying his father, José Vargas (Ángel Blanco),El Solar,Mano Negraand Jungla Negra crashed when one of the tires exploded. Vargas was killed by the crash and González' father suffered severe spinal damage. Manuel González would later use a wheelchair to accompany his son to the ring for some matches.[11]
Universal Wrestling Association (1987–1993)
editAfter adopting his father's name Dr. Wagner Jr. he also began working for theUniversal Wrestling Association(UWA), the same promotion where his father worked for most of his career. Promoters played off the rivalry of their famous fathers and often paired Dr. Wagner Jr. against Ángel Blanco Jr. On August 3, 1986 the two rivals were teamed up for aRuleta de la Muerte( "Roulette of Death" ) tournament where the losing teams advance and the team that lost the finals would have to wrestle each other in aLucha de Apuestas,or "bet match", for their masks. The rivals defeatedMano NegraandAníbalto survive the tournament with their masks intact.[12]On July 22, 1990 Dr. Wagner Jr. defeated Astro de Oro to win theUWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship,his firstprofessional wrestling championship.[13]He held the title for 218 days, until February 25, 1991, when he lost it to Enrique Vega.[13]
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (1993–2009)
editIn the early 1990s the UWA's popularity began to dwindle as less and less fans attended their shows. To try and combat the fan departure the UWA began working with long time rival promotionConsejo Mundial de Lucha Libre(CMLL), co-promoting shows and allowing UWA workers to also compete on CMLL shows. On April 2, 1993 the collaboration between the two companies led to Dr. Wagner Jr. defeatingPierroth Jr.to win theCMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship.[14]Later that year the two promotions worked together to host a tournament for the newly createdCMLL World Tag Team Championshipwith teams from the UWA and CMLL competing against each other. Dr. Wagner Jr. was teamed up with UWA's top nameEl Canekfor the tournament, defeating the team ofVampiroandPierroth Jr.in the finals to become the first CMLL World Tag Team Champions.[15]Dr. Wagner Jr.'s first reign as CMLL World Light Heavyweight Champion ended on March 2, 1994 as he was defeated byAtlantis.[14]By early 1994 Dr. Wagner Jr. began teaming withGran Markus Jr.andEl Hijo del Gladiadoron a regular basis, forming a team known asLa Nueva Ola Blanca( "The New White Wave" ), adopting the name of his father's tag team.La Nueva Ola Blancawon theCMLL World Trios Championshipon April 22, 1994 when they defeatedLos Brazos(El Brazo,Brazo de OroandBrazo de Plata).[16]In November of that year El Canek stopped working for CMLL, forcing Dr. Wagner Jr. to give up his half of the world tag team championship.[15]In early 1997 Dr. Wagner Jr. and Silver King won the CMLL World Tag Team Championship, but once again Dr. Wagner Jr. was forced to give up his half, this time because Silver King left CMLL to work for the US basedWorld Championship Wrestling(WCW).[15]He later won the championship for a third time, this time withEmilio Charles Jr.as his tag team partner.[15]He later won the CMLL World Trips Championship on three additional occasions, withBlack WarriorandBlue Panther,[16]then with Blue Panther andFuerza Guerrera,[17]and finally with Black Tiger (his brother under a new ring identity) andUniverso 2000.[18]
On June 18, 2004, on a CMLL show in Mexico City, Dr. Wagner Jr. defeated long time rival El Canek to win theUWA World Heavyweight Championship,a title still promoted 10 years after the UWA closed.[19]The championship change was part of a long running storyline between the two, a storyline set to culminate in a four-wayLucha de Apuestasmatch at theCMLL 71st Anniversary Show.In the week prior to the show Manuel González died, which led to a surge of sympathy for Dr. Wagner Jr. This led to the crowd being solidly behind the until-then hated Dr. Wagner Jr. as he put his mask on the line against El Canek,Universo 2000andRayo de Jalisco Jr.In the end El Canek defeated Universo 2000 to take his mask.[20]As result of the newfound popularity of Dr. Wagner Jr. CMLL decided to turn El Canekrudo(villain), allowing for the rivalry to continue.[21]Later on when Dr. Wagner Jr. moved on to a feud with Atlantis, the story repeated itself as the crowd turned against Atlantis, forcing CMLL to turn him fromtécnico(hero or good guy) into one of the bad guys of the storyline. The rivalry continued for several months until Dr. Wagner Jr.'s focus shifted to newcomerL.A. Park,resulting in a series of very violent, out of control matches between the two.[21]
On April 27, 2008, Wagner led a protest march for anyone who believed they were being mistreated by their Boss es to join. About 200 people joined the march, includingFuerza Guerreraand wrestlers fromIWRG.Wagner claimed he was not being used because he criticized CMLL in the press, and claimed he was in talks withWorld Wrestling Entertainment(WWE).[22]The rivalry between Dr. Wagner Jr. and L.A Park reached its CMLL climax at theCMLL 75th Anniversary Showwhere Dr. Wagner Jr. and L.A. Park wrestled each other in a match that ended in a disqualification due to excessive brawling outside the ring.[23]A short time later Dr. Wagner Jr. was fired from CMLL, officially for breaking CMLL's strict rule about not bleeding during matches or using weapons.[24]

editStarting in 1988 Dr. Wagner Jr. began making regular trips to Japan primarily working for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) through their relationship with the UWA.

During a BJW tour in 1996 Dr. Wagner Jr. lost the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship toAquariusand then regained it 8 days later. The title change was not sanctioned by CMLL and not officially recognized in Mexico.[14]In 1997 he participated inBest of the Super Juniors IV,where he defeatedDoc DeanandChavo Guerrero Jr.but lost the remaining four matches and failed to advance.[25]The following year Dr. Wagner Jr. was invited back for the 1998Best of the Super Juniorstournament. He won his block with a total of four victories, but lost in the finals toKoji Kanemoto.[26]

For the third year in a row Dr. Wagner Jr. competed in the annualBest of the Super Juniorstournament, a tournament won by Dr. Wagner Jr.'s former partner Kendo Kashin.[30]In 2003 Dr. Wagner Jr and his brother Silver King toured withAll Japan Pro Wrestling(AJPW) instead of NJPW, working primarily as a tag team for the entirety of the tour.[31]
