Pirata Morgan Jr. (born January 23, 1981) is a Mexican

professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) portraying a tecnico ("Good guy") wrestling character. Pirata Morgan Jr.'s real name is 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.[1] He is the son of professional wrestler Pedro Ortiz Villanueva, better known as Pirata Morgan
, and not a fictional family relationship as it sometimes the case in Lucha Libre.

Personal life

The wrestler known under the

Hijo de Pirata Morgan and female wrestler Perla Negra ("Black Pearl"). He is the nephew of professional wrestlers Hombre Bala, Verdunga, and La Marquesa, and the cousin of wrestlers Rey Bucanero, Hombre Bala Jr., Corsario, Barba Roja, and India Sioux.[2][3][4] In an interview Hijo de Pirata Morgan revealed that his father had three wrestling masks made in 1992, one for his cousin Rey Bucanero, who actually wrestled as "Hijo de Pirata Morgan" at one point, one for his younger brother and one for himself, even though he was still a child.[4]

Professional wrestling career

Pirata Morgan Jr. made his official in-ring wrestling debut in 2000, at the age of 19 after training under both his father, Pirata Morgan, and his uncle Hombre Bala. While his official debut as Pirata Morgan Jr. took place in 2000 it is possible that he worked as a wrestler before than, under a more anonymous ring character that has never been revealed, but that has never been confirmed. His first major opportunity came in late 2007 when he worked for Xtreme Latin American Wrestling (XLAW) as part of their "XLAW XMAS" show in Tulancingo. He competed against Crazy Boy and Brazo de Plata Jr. in a match for the XLAW Junior Heavyweight Championship, a match that was won by Brazo de Plata Jr. as a result of the loss Pirata Morgan Jr. was forced to risk his hair against Crazy Boy in an impromptu lucha de apuestas match between the two. Crazy Boy won and Pirata Morgan Jr. was forced to have his hair shaved.[5] Early in his career Pirata Morgan Jr. wore an eyepatch similar to one worn by his father instead of a traditional wrestling match, which meant that he lost his hair in two subsequent Luchas de Apuestas matches in 2003 and 2005 to Crazy Boy and Mike Segura respectively. In 2005 he began to work for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) and adopted a more traditional wrestling mask. In IWRG he teamed up with Kaleth and Nemesis (his brother using a different ring name) to form a trio called Los Jinetes de Apocalipsis ("The Horsemen of the Apocalypse") for a number of IWRG shows. He was one of thirty wrestlers in the 2005 Rey del Ring (King of the Ring") tournament, a tournament won by Cerebro Negro.[6]

AAA (2007–2008)

In 2007 Pirata Morgan introduced a group called Los Piratos to the

Gato Eveready, Aero Star, El Ángel and Pegasso.[7] In late 2008 Barba Roja and El Hijo de Pirata Morgan were both released from AAA and in early 2009 Pirata Morgan and Pirata Morgan Jr. also left AAA, citing their dissatisfaction with the direction of the company and their roles.[3]

Independent circuit (2009–present)

Following Los Piratos AAA departure they resurfaced in IWRG, where especially Pirata Morgan and Hijo de Pirata Morgan became regulars while Pirata Morgan Jr. and Barbe Roja worked less frequently for IWRG and in general. On December 18, 2010, Pirata Morgan Jr. was one of 21 wrestlers who risked their mask or hair on the outcome of a

Super Nova, and Eterno) and Comandos Elite (Rayan, Factor), and Máscara Año 2000 Jr. They lost the title to Los Poderosos (Hombre Sin Miedo, Kendor Jr., and Sobredosis) on November 4, only to regain it a week later. On August 9, 2015, Los Piratas lost the IWRG Intercontinental Trios Championship to La Dinastía de la Muerte (Negro Navarro, Trauma I and Trauma II).[10] During the show Pirata Morgan introduced the newest member of Los Piratas, Barbe Roja Jr. ("Red Beard Jr.").[10]
