The original Mascarita Sagrada was born in Felipe Pescador, Zacatecas. He started training as a luchador in 1987 under the instructions of Muralla Sangrienta I and Sr. Genaro Contreras. His first appearance in the ring was as Pequeno Luki, a mini-martial artist who alongside Arturito (one of the trolls in the movie Nacho Libre) fought against Gran Nikolai and Pequeno Goliath. Soon after this and because of his amazing skills, he would become the now legendary Mascarita Sagrada, the mini-version of popular luchador Mascara Sagrada.

There have been numerous and inaccurate debates as to the real Mascarita Sagrada's identity. The real Mascarita has performed as himself on all CMLL, WWE, WCW and TNA cards.

Clones

It is very common for Mexican wrestling promoters to "clone" marquee performers, and Mascarita Sagrada has not been the exception. At least two other wrestlers have been known to falsely impersonate Mascarita Sagrada. Mini-wrestler Tsuki has performed falsely as Mascarita Sagrada, causing a rift between both, as has Torerito, who continues to impersonate him in AAA promotions and has just recently admitted it and changed his name to Mascarita Dorada. Mascarita Sagrada is not under contract under any promotion, his last contract was with World Wrestling Entertainment in 2006.

In March of 2007, Mascara Sagrada ran into Tsuki at a show in Minneapolis and discovered he was planning to perform as Mascarita Sagrada, and confiscated the full gear the impostor had been using for a while now impersonating Mascarita Sagrada. Mascara Sagrada personally notified his good friend Mascarita Sagrada of this by phone.

World Wrestling Entertainment 2005-2006

In October of 2005, Mascarita Sagrada, along with other popular wrestlers like Octagoncito, Pequeno Pierroth and Super Porky had his second stint in WWE with the debut of the Juniors Division. World Wrestling Entertainment Inc ( WWE) is a publicly traded privately controlled integrated media (focusing in Television, Internet, Mexican mini-wrestlers have always had a comic element to their characters, but they are also extremely skilled athletes, but the Juniors Division was used mostly as comic relief in between matches in elaborate and obvious sketches.

The entire Juniors Division was released in March of 2006. Sagrada was undefeated in his short-lived WWE career.

Pulse Wrestling article written by Kevin Bufton (10/20/2005):

(. . . )There's also a bunch of Mexican Minis like Piratita Morgan, Ultimo Dragoncito or Octagoncito, who rarely fail to impress in the ring. Sure, if you're not a fan of lucha, then you're not going to get much of a buzz out of mini-lucha action, but for a company keen to bring in the Hispanic fans, it could be a good move.

Of course, the cream of the crop is Mascarita Sagrada. I can say, without a hint of hyperbole, that Sagrada is, pound-for-pound, one of the finest wrestlers in the world today. Note that I did not say one of the best midget wrestlers. . . just one of the best wrestlers. . . period. If you have never seen him in action then I urge you to find some footage of him - try AAA's When World's Collide show, or TNA's Victory Road PPV and please, try to ignore the fact that he's a midget and all the negative connotations that decades of anti-midget wrestling propaganda might have instilled in you.
