History Wrestling / PentagonJr

* MemeticHandGesture: The "Cero Miedo" gesture (index and thumb finger make a zero while the remaining three fingers point upwards, then said three fingers pointing down to form a "M").

* IHaveTheHighGround: While as of late he has geared towards submissions, Pentagon can fly with the best of them.

* '''''[[{{Heel}} HEEL]]''''': Definitely the most purely evil and sadistic guy on the entire Lucha Uunderground roster. Guys like Cage, Texano and King Cuerno seem well adjusted and likeable compared to this guy. Despite that, he was one of the most popular luchadors in the Temple.

* '''WrestlingMonster''': Pentagon's not as big as the usual guys who fall under this trope (like Mil Muertes or Matanza, for example), but he qualifies just on the sheer '''dread''' he instills on his opponents. Mil Muertes and Matanza might be more physical monsters, but Pentagon is all about the bad attitude. To reiterate: in Episode 1 of Season 2, Pentagon '''''BROKE MIL MUERTES' ARM''''', making him seem to squarely be on Mil's level. BAD. ASS. He eventually even ascended to Matanza's level upon becoming Pentagon Dark and taking him to the limit in their rematch, to the point where he only lost due to outside interference. On their third match early in Season 4, he finally beat him.

* ObviouslyEvil: Oh yeah, he's a real nice fellow alright, and if you believe that, I got ocean-front property in Arizona to sell you.

* [[WouldHitAGirl Would Break a Girl's Arm]]: Pentagon Jr. had no qualms whatsoever about attacking Melissa Santos and attempting to break her arm in ''Lucha Underground''. Thankfully Sexy Star was there to put a stop to it, but as a result, Pentagon targeted her. Even over a season later, he still had no qualms about it, as he attacked Black Lotus and broke her arm, while in Season 3 he also broke the Beautiful Brenda's arm.

That firecracker of a run continued with him throughout the final years of the decade throughout championship runs in multiple companies including Wrestling/ImpactWrestling and Wrestling/{{CMLL}} as well as returning to Wrestling/{{AAA}}. Pentagón has arguably been considered the top Luchador heading into UsefulNotes/TheNewTwenties alongside Wrestling/AndradeCienAlmas and his own brother Rey Wrestling/{{Fenix}}. His ring name would also evolve, receiving such variations as Pentagón Dark and Penta El Cero Miedo (often written as 0M or Zero Miedo). Penta has also formed a tag team known as the Wrestling/LuchaBrothers with the aforementioned Wrestling/{{Fenix}}, also considered by many one of the best tag teams in the world.

Almost as if following the trend of the curse, Octagón Jr. left AAA shortly thereafter in 2013, leaving Pentagón Jr. aimless and misused in AAA, causing him to leave the company in early 2017, claiming to be severely misused and thinking he deserved a bigger chance. However, Pentagón had proven his worth during this time as he actually began to shatter the curse in 2014 by way of nascent wrestling company Wrestling/LuchaUnderground, a United Artists Media and AAA joint venture. Despite starting (yet again) as a mid-to-low carder, his sadistic and yet highly charismatic character, appearance and massive talent catapulted to the position of '''the''' flagship star of the entire promotion after season 1. While ''Lucha Underground'' eventually came to an end after four seasons in 2018, it lifted Pentagón Jr to the status of one of the top Luchadores of UsefulNotes/TheNewTens.

'''Pentagón Jr''' (real name unknown, born February 26th 1986) is a MaskedLuchador from Mexico City, Mexico[[note]]Although born in Xalalpa, Veracruz, he grew up in Mexico City and is billed as being from there[[/note]].

Following the MaskedLuchador tradition of anonymity for Luchadores with masks, [[TheSpook effectively nothing is known about his actual background except what he as chosen to divulge]], and that has not been much. As far as we know, starting out as a {{Jobber}} and mid-carder under varying aliases in Wrestling/{{AAA}}, first as "Zaius" and then as "Black Dragon". After languishing in the lower cards for a few years, he was eventually repackaged as "Pentagón Jr" in 2012. The Pentagón Gimmick was originally conceived as a EvilTwin to Luchador Octagón, and AAA brought it back because they had [[Wrestling/{{Kalisto}} a very good Luchador]] whom they repackaged as Octagón Jr. Therefore, only logically, they created Pentagón Jr to oppose him in a repeat of the original Octagón-Pentagón rivalry.

The Pentagón gimmick has a rocky history of [[BornUnlucky bad luck]]: the first Pentagón had his career cut short after ''dying'' in the ring for a few minutes before being reanimated, and all subsequent Pentagón's (there have been 9 Pentagón and variant female/Mini Pentagóns, counting with Pentagón Jr} were faced with misfortune in their careers. The legend thus became the gimmick was cursed, and in reaction to this Pentagón Jr adopted his now iconic catchphrase "CERO MIEDO!" ("ZERO FEAR!") to demonstrate how little he thought of the alleged curse. The catchphrase became his creed and a fundamental aspect of his character and person, demonstrating his quest to live truly without fear of anyone or anything.

Almost as if following the trend of the curse, Octagón Jr left AAA shortly thereafter in 2013, leaving Pentagón Jr aimless and misused in AAA, causing him to leave the company in early 2017, claiming to be severely misused and thinking he deserved a bigger chance.

Pentagón would prove the world right with his big break in 2014 by way of nascent wrestling company Wrestling/LuchaUnderground, which placed him (among other dozens of AAA Luchadores) on their roster. Despite starting (yet again) as a mid-to-low carder, his sadistic and yet highly charismatic character, appearance and massive talent catapulted to the position of '''the''' flagship star of the entire promotion after season 1. While ''Lucha Underground'' eventually came to an end after four seasons in 2018, it lifted Pentagón Jr to the status of one of the top Luchadores of UsefulNotes/TheNewTens and that firecracker of a run continued with him throughout the final years of the decade throughout championship runs in multiple companies including Wrestling/ImpactWrestling and Wrestling/{{CMLL}} as well as returning to Wrestling/{{AAA}}, being argued by many as the top Luchador right now alongside Wrestling/AndradeCienAlmas and his own brother Rey Fenix.

Pentagón Jr has a tag team known as Wrestling/LuchaBrothers with the aforementioned Rey Fenix, also considered by many one of the best tag teams in the world. He (alongside his brother) is currently signed to both Wrestling/{{AAA}} (since 2018) and Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling (since 2019), as well as making occasional appearances in smaller companies over North America and the world. And he still has zero fear.

* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Pentagon's greatest opponent is himself. He's lost so many matches solely as a result of how easily he distracts himself by playing to the crowd or holding off on picking up the win, perhaps most notably when he put off pinning Rey Mysterio Jr. to leave the ring and get in Vampiro's face, giving Rey a chance to recover and turn the tables on him.

* BloodKnight: Pentagón Jr just plain loves hurting people (and being hurt). He's here for the bloodshed and little else.

* '''''[[{{Heel}} HEEL]]''''': Definitely the most purely evil and sadistic guy in the Lucha Uunderground entire roster. Guys like Cage, Texano and King Cuerno seem well adjusted and likeable compared to this guy. Despite that, he was one of the most popular luchadors in the Temple.

* IHaveManyNames: Pentagón Jr, Pentagón Dark, Pentagón 0M, "Penta", a handful of variations on those, e.t.c.

* MeaningfulRename: Symbolically destroyed the man he once was, leading to his rebirth as Pentagon Dark in Wrestling/LuchaUnderground (though he has since gone back to his previous name).

* FinishingMove: He has a few: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIawuQlRR_c the Running Package Piledriver]]/"Pentagón Piledriver", Cero Miedo/Pentágon Piledriver (finishing moves only a '''heel''' would use), and an arm-breaking armbar known as "The Sacrifice" (a finishing move only a '''psychotically evil person''' would use).

* EvilIsCool: The crowd certainly seems to think so, as he's actually one of the most applauded wrestlers on the show. However, the [[EveryoneHasStandards crowd DID start booing him HARD]] [[MoralEventHorizon after he assaulted Melissa]].

* RealLifeRelative: The real-life brother of Fenix. They're a WrestlingFamily, so it's to be expected that some of them would end up in the same roster.
