Nitro is a Mexican professional wrestler active as a rudo in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre. He is in a stable called Los Guerreros Tuareg. Nitro'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.{{cite book|author=Madigan, Dan|title=Mondo Lucha A Go-Go: the bizarre and honorable world of wild Mexican wrestling|publisher=HarperCollins Publishers|year=2007|chapter=Okay... what is Lucha Libre?|pages=29–40|isbn=978-0-06-085583-3}}
Professional wrestling career
=Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre=
In early 1992, Nitro joined CMLL under the gimmick of Filiso as a tecnico who was on the undercard. By 1996, Filiso participated in a tournament for entry into the Torneo Gran Alternativa, but failed to qualify.{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/mexico/emll/grand.html#4|title=Gran Alternativa Tournament #4|date=November 15, 1996|access-date=January 22, 2010|publisher=Pro Wrestling History}} He did not find much success for many years in CMLL, until he was reintroduced as Nitro in 2002. When re-debuting he joined Pierroth's evolving Los Boricua stable. On July 14, 2002, Nitro teamed with Doctor X and Virus to defeat Super Muñeco, Super Raton, and Super Pinocchio.{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/mexico/emll/ppv.html#0702|title=July 2002 PPV|date=July 14, 2002|access-date=January 22, 2010|publisher=Pro Wrestling History}} Later on in 2005, he joined the Pandilla Guerrera group, also including Sangre Azteca and Doctor X. The trio eventually won the Mexican National Trios Championship on March 25, 2005, defeating Safari, El Felino, and Volador Jr. After winning the trios titles, Nitro participated in the Torneo Gran Alternativa teaming with Pierroth. In the quarter-finals, Pierroth and Nitro lost to Dr. Wagner, Jr. and Misterioso, Jr.{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/mexico/emll/grand.html#11|title=Gran Alternativa Tournament #11|date=July 1, 2005|access-date=January 22, 2010|publisher=Pro Wrestling History}} On October 10, 2005, Nitro and his team lost the trios championship to El Sagrado, El Texano, Jr., and Máximo. In 2006, Nitro participated in the Torneo Gran Alternativa, this time teaming with Último Guerrero.{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/mexico/emll/grand.html#12|title=Gran Alternativa Tournament #12|date=July 2, 2006|access-date=January 22, 2010|publisher=Pro Wrestling History}} In the quarter-finals, the duo defeated Dos Caras, Jr. and Volador Jr., and in the semi-finals they defeated Rey Bucanero and Loco Max. In the final, they lost to Perro Aguayo, Jr. and Misterioso, Jr. At this time CMLL and IWRG had an agreement on exchanging wrestlers, and Nitro began wrestling in IWRG. On October 1, 2006, he won the IWRG Intercontinental Middleweight Championship defeating El Pantera.{{cite web|url=http://www.wrestling-titles.com/mexico/iwrg/iwrg-m.html|title=IWRG Middleweight Championship|date=July 7, 1997|access-date=January 22, 2010|publisher=wrestling-titles.com}} His reign as champion was short-lived, as he lost the championship to Pentagon Black on October 15, 2006. In 2008, Nitro created a new group called Los Guerreros Tuareg. He teamed with Skandalo to participate in a CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Title Tournament in mid-2008. In the first round the duo won by defeating Sensei and Neutron.{{cite news|title=Lo Mejor de la Lucha Libre Mexicana 2008|work=Súper Luchas|id=296|date=January 6, 2008|url=http://superluchas.com/?p=11145|access-date=July 11, 2009|language=es}} In the next round they lost to Flash and Stuka, Jr. In early 2009, Nitro was injured and underwent double knee surgery, resulting in an eight-month hiatus. Nitro kept teaming with his Guerreros Tuareg teammates. Nitro suffered a broken kneecap during a match on August 15, 2012. In a later interview Nitro stated that he was hoping to return November 15, 2012.{{Cite web|url=http://superluchas.com/2012/10/17/revista-super-luchas-484-desde-el-14-de-octubre-de-2012-cobertura-completa-de-heroes-inmortales-iv-lizmark-jr-otra-vez-perro-del-mal-taya-y-sexy-star-se-desgrenan-en-el-antro/|title=Revista Súper Luchas #484 (Desde el 14 de octubre de 2012) – Cobertura completa de Héroes Inmortales IV- Lizmark Jr. otra vez Perro del Mal- Taya y Sexy Star se desgreñan en el Antro|date= October 17, 2012|access-date=October 17, 2012|first=Alva|last=Marquina|work=Súper Luchas|language=es}}
