Pentagón Jr. (born February 5, 1985)[1] is a Mexican luchador enmascarado (masked professional wrestler) signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) under the ring name Penta El Zero Miedo ("Penta Zero Fear"). He is a former AEW World Trios Champion with his Death Triangle stablemates Pac and his real-life younger brother, Rey Fénix. Penta and Fénix also team as the Lucha Brothers and are former one-time AEW World Tag Team Champions. They also appear for AEW's sister promotion, Ring of Honor (ROH), where they are former ROH World Tag Team Champions. He also appears in Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), where he is a former AAA World Tag Team Champion, also with Fénix.
He is also known for his work with Impact Wrestling where he is a one-time Impact World Champion and one-time Impact World Tag Team Champion, and Major League Wrestling (MLW) where he is a one-time MLW World Tag Team Champion. He also wrestles for Mexico's Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and The Crash as Penta El 0M ("0M" standing for "Cero Miedo", Spanish for "Zero Fear") and for American television show Lucha Underground (as Pentagón Dark) where he is a former two-time Lucha Underground Champion. He also competes on the U.S. independent circuit, notably for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) and AAW. With PWG he is a former one-time PWG World Tag Team Champion.
Pentagón Jr. initially became known for his tenure with AAA between 2010 and 2017, where he is a former Latin American Champion, Mixed Tag Team Champion, World Tag Team Championship and the 2016 Rey de Reyes. In January 2017, he left AAA and announced that he was working for The Crash and formed a group called La Rebelión ("The Rebellion") with other former AAA wrestlers. By mid-2018 it was announced that AAA and Pentagón Jr. had come to an agreement to work together again.
His 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.
Early life
[edit]Pentagón Jr. was born on February 5, 1985, in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico.[1] It is unclear exactly how many brothers and sisters he has, but two younger brothers have also become professional wrestlers, best known under the ring names Rey Fénix,[2] and Ikaro.
Professional wrestling career
[edit]Early career (2007–2010)
[edit]As the man behind the Pentagón Jr. mask has never been unmasked in the ring, not much is known about his previous history beyond what has been revealed by the man himself, which is traditional in Lucha libre.[8] According to Pentagón Jr. he was trained by Skayde,[7] and made his debut in 2007, working as the masked character "Zaius".[2] His first verified match was on April 9, 2008, where Zaius teamed up with Black Star, losing to his brothers who wrestled as the masked characters Máscara Oriental and El Niño de Fuego.[9] He would win his first ever championship on July 26, 2009, when he defeated Mesalla to win the WCW Intercontinental Championship[10] in a Luchas de Apuestas ("bet match") where Zaius put his mask on the line.[11] Records are unclear on if or when he lost the championship.
Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (2010–2017)
[edit]Still working as Zaius the future Pentagón Jr. worked a dark match try out for AAA on September 9, 2010, teaming with Pesadilla to defeat the team of Konami and Máscara Oriental.[12] In 2011 he began working for AAA on a regular basis, using the name "Dark Dragon", while also working on the independent circuit as Zaius.[13] As Dark Dragon he joined AAA's mid-level rudo[Note 1] group La Milicia. At the same time as he was given the "Dark Dragon" persona his brother then known as Máscara Oriental, was given a new name and mask, becoming known as Fénix.
On December 2, 2012, the Dark Dragon persona was abandoned and AAA reintroduced him as Pentagón Jr. at their major year-end show Guerra de Titanes ("War of the Titans"). He was introduced as the arch-enemy of the newly introduced Octagón Jr., just like the original Pentagón had been the storyline arch-enemy of Octagón. Octagón, Octagón Jr. and La Parka defeated Pentagón Jr., La Parka Negra and Silver Cain.[14] Since several wrestler who held the name Pentagon had bad luck in their careers, there is the legend of the name Pentagon being cursed. Pentagón Jr.'s catchphrase, Cero Miedo (Zero Fear) was created to show no fear to the curse.[15] By mid-2013 Octagón Jr. left AAA, leaving Pentagón Jr. without any direction or storyline. On August 18 at Héroes Inmortales VII, Pentagón entered the 2013 Copa Antonio Peña, but was defeated in the first round by El Hijo del Fantasma.[16][17] On March 16, 2014, at AAA's Rey de Reyes show, Pentagón Jr. participated in an eight-man Lucha de Apuestas Domo de la Muerte ("Dome of Death" bet match), but escaped the cage before the end, keeping his mask safe.[18][19][20] At Triplemanía XXII, held on August 17, Pentagón Jr participated in a unification match for both the AAA Fusión Championship and AAA Cruiserweight Championship in a multi-man match that was won by El Hijo del Fantasma.[21][22] On November 17, Pentagón Jr. joined the Los Perros del Mal stable.[23] On December 7, Pentagón Jr. and his new stablemate Joe Líder won the AAA World Tag Team Championship by defeating Los Güeros del Cielo (Angélico and Jack Evans) and Myzteziz and Fénix in a three-way match. They lost the title back to Angélico and Evans on October 4, 2015, at Héroes Inmortales IX.[24]
On March 23, 2016, Pentagón Jr. won the 2016 Rey de Reyes tournament by defeating La Parka and Villano IV.[25] The Rey de Reyes victory was used to build him up as a challenger for the AAA Latin American Championship, which culminated with Pentagón Jr. defeating then-champion Psycho Clown on July 3.[26] At Triplemanía XXIV, on August 28, Pentagón Jr. lost the championship to Johnny Mundo.[27] Pentagón later lost a rematch to Mundo on January 20, 2017 at the Guerra de Titanes.[28] The following day, Pentagón announced that he no longer worked for AAA,[29] citing unhappiness from feeling restricted and held back by AAA.[30]
Lucha Underground (2014–2018)
[edit]In August 2014, Pentagón was announced as one of five AAA wrestlers to star in Lucha Underground, a new American television series on El Rey.[31][32] Pentagón debuted on the third episode on November 12, where he was defeated by his brother, Fénix, in a three-way, that also included Drago.[33] Over the next weeks, the two real-life brothers developed a storyline rivalry between them.[34] On February 4, 2015, Pentagón started a storyline about him breaking his opponent's arms; dedicating each broken arm as a sacrifice for his unknown master. On April 1, 2015, Pentagon participated in a tournament to crown the first LU Trios Champions. Pentagon, Sexy Star and Super Fly were defeated by Big Ryck, The Mack and Killshot. After the match, Pentagon attempted to break Super Fly's arm, but Star saved him. On April 8, 2015, Pentagon attacked Star and Super Fly, managing to break Super Fly's arm. On April 22, 2015, Pentagón was defeated by Sexy Star. On June 3, 2015, Pentagon defeated Sexy Star in a submission match. After the match, Pentagon attempted to sacrifice Sexy Star but was stopped by commentator Vampiro. Afterwards, Pentagón began attacking Vampiro, saying he would sacrifice him for his master. During Ultima Lucha on August 5, 2015, Pentagón Jr. defeated Vampiro in a violent Cero Miedo match. After the match, at Vampiro's urging, Pentagón Jr. broke Vampiro's arm. Vampiro then revealed he was Pentagón Jr.'s master.
On the season two premiere on January 27, Pentagón attacked reigning Lucha Underground Champion, Mil Muertes following his successful defense against Ivelisse and broke Muertes' arm, turning face in the process. Pentagón unsuccessfully challenged for the Lucha Underground Championship against Matanza Cueto, the story-line monster heel brother of authority figure Dario Cueto in 2015. This match aired via tape delay on March 30, 2016.[35] At Ultima Lucha Dos on January 31, 2016, Pentagón took on the name "Pentagón Dark" after receiving further "training" from Vampiro in an attempt to once again challenge Matanza Cueto for the Lucha Underground Championship. After his bid to capture the title failed, he turned on Vampiro.[36]
At Aztec Warfare III Pentagón was attacked by Black Lotus (who swore revenge on Pentagón for breaking her arm at Ultima Lucha Dos) along with Members of The Black Lotus Triad Hitokiri, Doku and Yurei and was eliminated by Johnny Mundo. Two weeks later he faced the Black Lotus triad members in a gauntlet match in a losing effort and got his arm broken by Black Lotus and El Dragon Azteca Jr, who also swore revenge on Pentagón for breaking his arm. On June 25 at Ultima Lucha Tres, Pentagón Dark defeated Son of Havoc in a ladder match to win the vacant Gift of the Gods Championship, which also earned him a future shot at the Lucha Underground Championship.[37] He cashed in his shot the following day and defeated Prince Puma in a "Loser Must Retire" match to become the new Lucha Underground Champion.[37]
On June 13, 2018, Lucha Underground aired the first episode of the 4th season. At the first episode, Pentagón Dark won the Aztec Warfare to retain the title. Becoming the first person to ever do so.[38]

The match ended when Callihan pinned Pentagón Jr. to regain the championship.[46]
During a January 21, 2017, show for The Crash Lucha Libre promotion, Pentagón Jr., Daga and Garza Jr. all came to the ring and later confirmed that they had left AAA. Since AAA owned the trademark to the name Pentagón Jr., he revealed that he would be known as "Penta el 0M" ("Cero Miedo", "Zero Fear").[4][29] The three hoped to able to use the Perros del Mal name on the independent circuit, but were unable to obtain the right and on January 24, Penta announced he was leaving Perros del Mal.[47] On January 27, Penta, Daga, Garza and Fénix el Rey announced the formation of a new stable in The Crash, named La Rebelión ("The Rebellion").[48]

The feud was built up over several Impact broadcasts and was designed to culminate in a match at IW's Slammiversary PPV.
