El Sagrado (born June 19, 1980) is a Mexican
Like many children in Mexico, El Sagrado grew up idolizing Lucha libre (professional wrestling), especially El Santo.[2] At the age of 12 he told his parents he wanted to become a professional wrestler, something his parents opposed. The young Sagrado 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.[2] One of his younger brothers became a professional wrestler as well, using the ring name "Metatron".[5]
Besides wrestling Sagrado also studied religion, urged by his mother to seek the priesthood when he was old enough. According to Sagrado he met Fray Tormenta, the famous Mexican wrestling priest who told him to follow his own desires, which in turn led him to become a wrestler. Whether this is actually true or part of the storyline build up around the "El Sagrado" character is not known, but Sagrado has stated that he met Fray Tormenta in several interviews.[2]
Professional wrestling career
Sagrado made his debut in 2000, at the age of 20, working under a mask.
El Sagrado
Sagrado showing in the contest earned him a new character and a promotional push by CMLL. They gave him the name "El Sagrado", a new outfit including a mask with a silver cross on it and a storyline that claimed that he was the protégé of Fray Tormenta.[6] After a strong debut sacred soon found him lower in the cards, mainly because he did not meet the high expectations wrestling wise. Sacred himself claims that he was extremely nervous early on in his "El Sagrado" run and thus often failed to perform high risk moves correctly.[5] In 2004 CMLL decided to quietly ignore El Sagrado's links to Fray Tormenta and introduce a new "Protégé of Fray Tormenta", Místico. Místico went on to become one of the biggest stars not just in Lucha libre but in wrestling.[7] After finally get over his nerves and with further training El Sagrado began rising up the ranks again by 2005.[citation needed]
On October 7, 2005, Sagrado teamed up with
La Comando Caribeño
In 2015 Sagrado turned rudo and adopted a darker persona and ring gear, replacing the bright cross imagery with darker burning cross symbols on his mask and tights.[
