Clemente Marcelino Valencia Nájera

professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) for most of his career, winning the Mexican National Welterweight Championship and the Mexican National Trios Championship, teaming with Sangre Azteca and Nitro. Doctor X was a member of Pandilla Guerreras and the co-leader of Los Guerreros Tuareg. In August 2011, Valencia quit CMLL and joined Perros del Mal Producciones under the new ring name Doctor X-Treme. Valencia also previously worked as "Dr. O'Borman Jr." a name he licensed from the original Dr. O'Borman. Throughout his career, Doctor X's real name was 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.[7]
He was killed on 11 October 2011 when trying to break up a fight.

Professional wrestling career

Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre

Valencia began his wrestling career in 1995 after training under Rafael Salamanca, La Cobra and Scorpio (Sr.), he would later receive additional training from Memo Díaz and El Satánico.[8] Initially he worked as Dr. O'Borman Jr., paying the original Dr. O'Borman for the use of the name. By the end of the 1999s he began working regularly for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).[4] By 2000 problems with who had the right to the name "Dr. O'Borman Jr." arose, forcing him to give up the name. Together with CMLL owner Paco Alonso they came up with the concept of "Doctor X", an "evil doctor" in the vein of Dr. Wagner Jr., wearing all white with a big "X" on his mask.[8] Later on, the masks and outfits would become increasingly colorful. Doctor X's first real chance to prove himself came in 2001 when he participated in that year's Gran Alternativa tournament. He teamed with Gran Markus Jr., but lost to eventual tournament winners Olímpico and Sicodelico Jr. in the first round.[9] Over the next couple of years, Doctor X kept working low card matches, slowly establishing a name for himself. In early 2003 Doctor X began a storyline feud with Tigre Blanco, the reigning Mexican National Welterweight Champion at the time. On 11 March 2003, Doctor X defeated Tigre Blanco to win the championship, a title he would hold for over two years.[10] In 2004 he once again competed in the Gran Alternativa, teaming with Último Guerrero. The team defeated Último Dragón and Neutron in the first round and Shocker and Alan Stone in the second round before losing to El Hijo del Santo and Místico in the finals.[11]

Pandilla Guerrera

In early 2005 the wrestling group

Bronco and El Texano Jr. before losing to eventual winners Dr. Wagner. Jr. and Misterioso Jr. in the semi-final.[13]

Guerreros Tuareg

In 2007 most members of Pandilla Guerrera broke away from Los Guerreros del Infierno, wanting to break out of their shadow and move up the rankings themselves. Doctor X,

steel cage match in the main event of the 2010 Infierno en el Ring Doctor X primarily targeted his rival Fabián el Gitano, but when it came down to it in the end he decided to leave the cage instead of trying to unmask Fabián. In the end Ángel de Oro defeated Fabián el Gitano in the Lucha de Apuesta (bet match) portion of the match instead, unmasking him.[16] Dr.X took then part in a 12-man cage match on Christmas day of 2010 in Arena Neza including both CMLL and independent luchadores, winning the mask of Hermano Muerte III. On 4 August 2011, it was reported that Doctor X had quit CMLL.[17]

Perros del Mal Producciones

On 6 August 2011, Doctor X announced that he would be joining independent promotion Perros del Mal Producciones under the new ring name Doctor X-Treme. He wrestled his first match for the promotion later that same day.[18]

On October 11, 2011, Valencia was shot in the head and killed when he tried to break up a fight while attending a religious party in Santa María Aztahuacán,

Iztapalapa, Mexico City.[2][3][6] He was survived by a wife and two children under the age of ten.[19]
