Notes
CMLL midcard tecnico. The Horus name is new, but he's in about the same spot.
Debuted in late 2007. as El Hijo del Faraon, with the original El Faraon presenting him the mask in Arena Coliseo Guadalajara, and treated like a big deal...for two weeks, then disappearing. He turned up on the indies for a bit, before being brought into CMLL Mexico City in the summer of 2008. Seemed to have promise, but got lost in the shuffle compared to the other Gen75 wrestlers brought in at the same time, and could not crack the first or second match.
That year might have just been a training run. Hijo del Faraon vanished in February of 2009, and Horus debuted in June of the same year. He's started out at the same position he left, but perhaps the new name will bring new opportunities.
During his absence from CMLL, Horus apparently masqueraded as Rey Misterio Jr. Misterio's popularity greatly increased in the late 00s, due to his matches in WWE being broadcast in many countries. It was not uncommon for promoters in Latin countries or areas who could not bring in WWE to instead bring in substitutes. Usually, Hijo de Rey Misterio was misleading advertised as his famous cousin, but Horus did the same for one appearance in Bolivia.
It should be noted Horus is NOT related to El Faraon.
