STORY AND HIGHLIGHTS

Pierrot Jr.

Pierroth Jr. is the ring name under which one of Mexican lucha libre’s most memorable rudos was established. Public records identify him as Norberto Salgado Salcedo, with a debut on July 1, 1984 at Arena Isabel in Cuernavaca, Morelos. His career gained momentum in EMLL/CMLL, where he became known as a top heel with a fierce attitude and imposing presence. He later moved to AAA, where he became an important figure on the rudo side and built notable rivalries, including with Cibernético and Canek. His verified accomplishments include the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship, the CMLL World Trios Championship alongside Jaque Mate and Masakre as Los Intocables, and the AAA Campeón de Campeones title. He also had a significant run in Puerto Rico and, after becoming an independent wrestler, entered a key feud with L.A. Park; their mask match ended with his unmasking in 1998. Public sources also report that he suffered a stroke in 2008, which ended his in-ring career.
