Very talented luchador from the [[Monterrey]] area. His interest in lucha libre began when he was 4 years old. His idol and role model was and is [[Pequeño Diamante]]. He used to watch Pequeño Diamante as tag team partner of [[Mario Segura]]. His father brought him to lucha libre events. During his childhood his [[Caifán|brother]] and him used to work as paperboys and selling candies. If they sold 30 newspapers they received courtesy passes to lucha libre shows at [[Arena Coliseo Monterrey]] at the general area. Sergio always wished to touch a luchador, when his father took them to the local shows they always went in the general area and the courtesy passes were for the general area as well and the fence that divided the sections of the Arena made it impossible. They used to see the most notable wrestlers of that time such as [[Panterita del Ring]], [[Jerry Estrada]], and more. His passion for this sport made him want to become a professional wrestler. | |||
=== Early Career === | |||

As El Guerrero Ninja, he was known as an spectacular tecnico while his borther Caifan was a rudo with a strong wrestling style. They were rivals and protagonized strong matches. Lic Genaro Saul Reyes Calderon had the idea of teaming them. He believed that with the espectacular moves of Guerrero Ninja and the stiff wrestling style of Caifan would make an unique tag team. There is some influnence in the Rock en Español band for the tag team name. Sergio left behind his former gimmick and teamed with his older brother as [[Los Caifánes Rockeros]], but [[Super Parka]] suggessted to shorten their ring names just to Caifanes making easier to recall and cheer for the fanss. They immediatly impressed everyone from the live crowds to the crowds watching [[Arena Coliseo Monterrey]] TV on the internet to the promoters. The team was even compared to [[Los Gringos Locos]] and began using their old [[superplex]]/[[frog splash]] to finish matches and wrestling gears as a tribute. They also innovated with moves lf their own. Los Caifanes were nicknamed as "Los Hijos del Pueblo" and "Los Hijos del Cerro de la Silla" due to their humble personalities. | |||

The peak of the feud occured on [[July 8]], [[2001]] at Arena Coliseo de Monterrey as the teams faced off in an epic masks vs hairs match where the rudos ended up bald. The match got tons of praise locally, in some national magazines and in various tape trading circles. The teams would continue their feud for many years to follow with a twist being added as Los Caifanes became the tecnicos and Los Orientales were the rudos. During that time period a new [[Caifán Rockero III|Caifán]] made his debut but it was short-lived. | |||
