Gilbert Biography

Gilbert is one of the most popular and richest Wrestler who was born on November 12, 1980 in Bayamón, Puerto Rico.

Cruz was born in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, where he completed his high school education at Rexville Superior in 1994. After wrestling in the independent circuit as part of a team known as The Rutgers, he was first brought to the International Wrestling Association as a face. His first feud was against “Ravishing” Richard Rondón who assaulted Gilbert, who was planted in the crowd. The angle was elaborated when Rondón insulted his wife, prompting several run-ins which saw him being expelled from the events due to being “an unlicensed fan”. Eventually, a match was set between both, marking his official in-ring debut. He remained active in the midcard during the following months, until he joined “La Compañia” the predominant heel faction initially led by Savio Vega and subsequently by Joe Bravo, adopting the “Future Hall of Fame (Inductee)” gimmick, which saw him win the IWA World Tag Team Championship. As this character he began feuding with multiple champions, including the IWRG “Rey de Reyes” holder, Ricky Cruz. At Juicio Final 2010, he was pinned to lose the tag team championship. Outside of performing, he created a public campaign promoting education. During the final months of his participation in the IWA, Gilbert won the IWA Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship, dropping the belt before leaving the promotion.

On July 31, 2010, Gilbert debuted in the World Wrestling Council, interfering in a match and costing Ray González the WWC Universal Heavyweight Championship. He continued performing under his real name, but his character evolved into one based on Terry Benedict from the Ocean’s Eleven trilogy franchise due to his physical similarity to Andy García. During the following weeks, an angle was run where he would pursue González while prompting the public to “burn the past”. For his in-ring debut, Gilbert issued an open challenge, defeating jobbers in consecutive contests. However, his first storyline was left inconclusive when González left the company. Due to this outcome, Joe Bravo was brought in to the promotion, beginning a feud between both due to Gilbert’s “inability to follow orders”. This went on to numerous matches between both, including a tie at Septiembre Negro for the first contendership to the Universal Heavyweight Championship. However, the animosity between both was subsequently dropped and a pseudo-partnership emerged occasionally. In November 2010, Gilbert won his first title in the promotion, the WWC Puerto Rico Heavyweight Championship from “El Sensacional” Roger Carlitos Díaz, which he retained for several months. The feud between both extended to Lockout 2010, closing the year. On February 27, 2011, WWC launched a talk show titled “La Opinión de Gilbert”, where he began hosting retired or otherwise established wrestlers. He continued his alliance with Bravo, helping him retain the Caribbean Heavyweight Championship. In March 2011, Gilbert assaulted Julio Estrada in a live edition of “La Opinión de Gilbert”, adopting a pattern that included similar attacks against “Invader

3” Johhny Rivera, “El Profe” Ángel Pantoja Rivera, Jesús Castillo, Jr., Rubén

“Hercules Ayala” Cruz, “Invader 4” Maelo Huertas and Carlos Colón.
