Biography

Gonzalo Aparicio was born April 25, 1975 and like many children in Mexico grew up idolizing Lucha libre (professional wrestling), especially El Santo. At the age of 12 he told his parents he wanted to become a professional wrestler, something his parents opposed. The young Aparicio found a way to train to become a professional wrestler without his parents knowing it, his brothers covered for him by telling his parents that he was at football practice instead. One of his younger brothers became a professional wrestler as well, using the ring name "Metatron".
