.

Early life

Edgar Pozos was born in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico on April 22, 1970. After his younger brother Jesús was born in 1975 the family moved to Mexico City, Mexico, settling in the Tláhuac delegacion. Edgar Pozos was a quiet kid, focusing on school until he as a teenager saw a picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger in a gym in Mexico City, which inspired him begin bodybuilding. He was also a big fan of wrestling, with their father being a wrestling trainer the Pozos boys often attended wrestling matches as the Toreo de Cuatro Caminos, one of the most popular wrestling venues in the early 1980s. Pozos combined his bodybuilding training with wrestling, hoping to become a professional wrestler one day. In order to get a wrestlers license from the Mexican Boxing and Wrestling commission he had to wrestle a tryout match, he faced Axel in his tryout match and wrestled well enough to get a license.[1]

Professional wrestling career

Consejo Mundial de Lucha libre (1992-1997)

After getting his license Pozos created the enmascarado (masked) character "Ultimatum" after seeing a band called "Ultimatum" and discovering that the term meant "final warning", a name he found appropriate for the showmanship of professional wrestling. As Ultimatum he earned a contract with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and began working at their wrestling school to hone his skills under the tutelage of Arturo Beristain. As Ultimatum Pozos worked low card matches on various CMLL shows, not rising about the first or second match even after almost five years with the company. He was unable to talk to CMLL owner Paco Alonso, but when he talked with CMLL booker Juan Mar Manuel he told him flat out that CMLL had no plans to give him a higher profile on the shows, after which Pozos left the company.[1]

Asistencia Asesoría y Administración

Almost ready to quit wrestling Pozos friend José Mercado, who wrestles as Pentagón Black, convinced him to apply for a job with

Hanibal Lecter character from the movie Silence of the Lambs and had turned an ice hockey Goaltender's mask into a mouthguard like the one Lecter wore in the movie. Peña commented that the mask made Pozos look like a mad man and asked "How do you deal with madmen?" and answered "Electroshock therapy", giving the name "Electroshock" to Pozos new character.[1]
Electroshock made his in-ring debut in September 1997.

Los Vipers (1997–2006)

Main article: Los Vipers

Electroshock was quickly made part of a group called

Perro Aguayo, Jr. for the Mexican National Tag Team Championship on May 2, 1999.[3] In late 1999 Los Vipers began fighting amongst themselves with Abismo Negro making a bid to take control of the group. This led to Abismo Negro breaking away to form Los Vipers Extreme along with Electroshock, Pentagón, Shiiba, Cuervo and Mini Abismo Negro. On November 7, 1999 Electroshock and Abismo Negro lost the National Tag Team title to Hator and the Panther.[3] the Los Vipers factions joined back up in early 2000 without much resolution to the tension between Abismo Negro and Cibernético. The unity allowed Electroshock and Abismo Negro to focus on regaining the titles, a feat they accomplished on May 7, 2000 defeating Hator and the Panther.[4] The team only held onto the title for 63 days before losing the belts to the duo of Perro Aguayo, Jr. and Héctor Garza.[4]

In the fall of 2000 Electroshock travelled to Japan to work for

Triplemania XII where the loser would be forced to retire. Manson won the match but Lady Apache pleaded with him to not force Electroshock to retire but instead shave her hair off as "payment". After some consideration Manson accepted and shaved her hair off, with Electo Shock voluntarily shaving his own hair off in sympathy.[10] In 2006 Electroshock briefly left AAA and wrestled for CMLL as "Electro" but returned to AAA after only a few matches with CMLL.[11]

La Legión Extranjera (2007–2009)

Main article:
La Legión Extranjera

Following his brief departure from AAA Electroshock became part of

Triplemania XVII where La Legión (Electroshock, Silver King, Chessman, Kenzo Suzuki and Teddy Hart) faced and lost to "Team AAA" (El Hijo del Santo, La Parka, Vampiro, Octagón and Jack Evans) in a Steel Cage match with control of AAA on the line.[17]
After the loss Konnan was fired by AAA owner Joaquin Roldan and La Legión was disbanded.

Los Wagnermaniacos (2009–2010)

Following

Mr. Anderson in the main event of the 2010 Rey de Reyes, thus winning the AAA Mega Championship without actually defeating the champion El Mesias. Following the match Dr. Wagner, Jr. and the other Wagnermaniacos came to the ring to congratulate Electroshock, seemingly ending any concerns about animosity in the group.[23] On a subsequent AAA show Dr. Wagner, Jr. asked Electroshock for a title match, a request Electroshock declined leading to a fight between the two, ending Electroshock's association with Los Wagnermaniacos.[24]

Los Maniacos (2010)

At a later show

L.A. Park were defeated by Heavy Metal, La Parka, Dark Ozz and Dark Cuervo in an elimination steel cage match.[31]

Turning technico (2010–2014)

On November 14 Electroshock officially announced that he was not part of La Sociedad and urged Silver King and Último Gladiador to leave the group.

Blue Demon, Jr.[40] On August 17, 2014, at Triplemanía XXII, Electroshock lost his hair to fellow técnico El Mesías in a six-way steel cage Lucha de Apuestas.[41]

Holocausto (2015)

After losing his hair to El Mesías, Electroshock entered a storyline, where he began teasing retirement from professional wrestling.[42] However, on January 23, 2015, Electroshock instead turned rudo and formed a new partnership with El Hijo de Pirata Morgan.[43] Electroshock's new stable was later named Holocausto.[44] On May 2, 2016, Electroshock left AAA.[45]

Independent circuit (2016–present)

Following his departure from AAA, Pozos adopted the new ring name "Mr. Elektro" or "Mr. Electro" due to his old ring name being owned by AAA.[46] On June 12, 2016 Mr. Electro defeated Máscara Año 2000 Jr. by disqualification, thus winning the IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship in the process as IWRG rules state a championship changes hands on a disqualification.[47]

Return to AAA (2018)

On June 26 at the press conference, Electroshock makes his return to the AAA company representing himself as part of the Elite League. On July 21, 2018, at
