Source-derived summary

J. Carmelo Reyes González (born May 11, 1949) is a Mexican retired professional wrestler, better known by his ring name, Cien Caras ("Hundred Faces"). He is best known for his appearances with the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).

Personal life

J. Carmelo Reyes González was born on May 11, 1949, in Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, Mexico. His younger brothers, Andrés Reyes González (better known as Universo 2000) and Jesús Reyes González (known as Máscara Año 2000) also followed Carmelo into professional wrestling. Three of J. Carmen Reyes' sons also followed in his footsteps, known as the masked wrestlers, known as El Cuatrero and Sansón and

Cien Caras Místico. His nephews are also professional wrestlers, known as Forastero, Universo 2000 Jr. and Máscara Año 2000 Jr.

In Mexican wrestling there is a long tradition of wrestlers paying for the rights to use a ring name and be portrayed as a second or third-generation wrestler without actually being related. It has been confirmed that wrestlers Cien Caras Jr. and El Hijo de Cien Caras are not sons of Carlemo Reyes, while it is unclear if Hijo de Máscara Año 2000 is a blood relative or only fictional relatives.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1949, 2000—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1949-10-18. The account is most persuasive where Cien, Caras and Mexican can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as mexican professional wrestler. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4115350. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1949 and 2000.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
