AAA's most infamous rudo referee of the modern day, but it wasn't always that way.
Much like his father, el Hijo del Tirantes started out as a wrestler but ended up becoming an AAA referee. He normally played a straight referee who could be bullied into going along with the rudos. His preferred spot was to partially notice an offense worth disqualification, consider calling for the DQ, poll the crowd about the offense, and resolve the situation by doing nothing at all. Incongruously more muscular than many of the wrestlers in his matches, he wears outfits to show off his upper body.
He had long-running issues with Abismo Negro; when Abismo turned técnico to oppose the Vipers he had once led, Hijo del Tirantes slid toward the rudo side and never looked back. He eventually found himself aligned with La Legión Extranjera and later La Sociedad as a rudo referee. With his father Tirantes leaving the company, and Copetes Salazar only refereeing on major shows, he became the top rudo referee in the company that gives the most attention to rudo referees. Whenever AAA won a major battle against La Sociedad, Hijo del Tirantes would be forced to call matches fairly. This (in typical schizophrenic AAA booking style) led to a few weeks of tension, before the story was forgotten and Hijo del Tirantes returned to his usual activities.
Current longest-term feud is with Faby Apache, which leads to a match about once a year where Faby gets a title shot, Hijo del Tirantes does everything he can to screw Faby over, the champ retains, rinse and repeat. This gets far more attention than any feud between two women, and that doesn't look like changing given Faby's political manoeuvrings and the clashes between AAA's booking regime and the women's division.
