Pierroth Jr. Biography

Pierroth Jr. is one of the most popular and richest Mexican professional wrestler who was born on March 10, 1958 in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico.

Norberto Salgado trained under Elfego Silva and Gran Cochisse in the lucha libre school associated with Arena Isabel in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. When Salgado made his in-ring debut July 1, 1984 he used the ring name “Pierroth Jr.”, inspired by the wrestler Pierrot who was popular in Arena Isabel in the 1950s and 1960s despite not being related in any way. Salgado adopted the same black and yellow Harlequin diamond patterns for his mask and tights, ignoring the fact that in the Commedia dell’Arte tradition Pierrot was the rival of Harlequin and normally dressed in white. Early in his career he won both the Morelos Light Heavyweight Championship, and the Morelos Tag Team Championship alongside El Judio. The team with El Judio later led to a storyline feud between the two that resulted in Salgado winning his first Lucha de Apuestas (“bet match”) of his career, in Lucha Libre the Lucha de Apuestas match is generally considered more important than championship matches.

In 1985 Salgado, working as Pierroth Jr., began working occasional shows for Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL; Spanish for “Mexican Wrestling Enterprise. Renamed Consejo Mundial de Luch Libre; CMLL in 1992), diving his career between Arena Isabel and EMLL in Mexico City. By 1988 he was a regular performer for EMLL, winning the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship from Halcón 78 on April 4, 1988. The reign lasted for 156 days until he lost it to Mogur on September 7. Pierroth Jr. became a two-time Mexican National Light Heavyweight Champion on January 12, 1990 with a victory over Mogur to win the title.
