Source-derived summary

Cien Caras Jr. (born October 18, 1976) is a Mexican professional wrestler, currently working for the Mexican promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) portraying a rudo ("Bad guy") wrestling character. Cien Caras 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. He is not a blood relative of wrestler Cien Caras, but instead is using the ring name with permission from Cien Caras.

Professional wrestling career

In Mexico, where the style of professional wrestling called lucha libre became popular, it is traditional to keep the true identify of a masked wrestler a secret, not revealing their real names and oftentimes not revealing what previous ring names they have competed under. While Cien Caras Jr. is listed as having made his professional wrestling debut in 1997 under the name "Sheriff", it has not been confirmed if he previously worked under a masked or unmasked ring identity and then adopted the masked character "Sheriff" afterwards. While he later competed as "Cien Caras Jr." he started his wrestling career using the name Sheriff, working mainly in and around his native city of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Arena Coliseo in Guadalajara is associated with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's (CMLL) wrestling school, but also promotes weekly wrestling shows featuring trainees, CMLL contracted wrestlers and local workers who are not officially affiliated with CMLL. From 1997 until 2005 Sheriff worked primarily in Guadalajara, primarily in lower to mid position of the card.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “mexican professional wrestler” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16202977. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1976, 1997 and 2005.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
