Juan Carlos Gonzales (born November 4, 1962), better known under the ring name El Hijo del Diablo (Spanish for "The Son of the Devil"), is a Mexican luchador, or professional wrestler, currently working on the Mexican Independent circuit and has regularly worked for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) portraying a rudo ("bad guy") wrestling character.
Initially he worked primarily around his native Cuernavaca, Morelos as the enmascarado, or masked wrestling character Águila Venezolana (Spanish for "Venezuelan Eagle").
[1] It has not been documented exactly when Juan Gonzales changed from his Águila Venezolana to adopt the more sinister, rudo (wrestlers who portray the bad guys) character El Hijo del Diablo (Spanish for "The Son of the Devil").
In 1996 Black Terry had started working as "El Hijo del Diablo", on the Mexican independent circuit, but stopped using the mask and name after Juan Gonzales resumed the role.
El Hijo del Diablo was successful, forcing Fantasy to remove his mask and announce his birth name as per the stipulations of a Lucha de Apuestas match.
Místico won the match and the mask of El Hijo del Diablo, who was forced to unmask for the first time in his career.
The storyline included all three wrestlers wearing wrestling gear with the Stars and Stripes on them, similar to the Los Gringos Locos faction in the mid-1990s.
On January 13, 2011 El Hijo del Signo teamed up with rookie Muerte Infernal for the 2011 Torneo Relampago de Proyeccion a Nuevas Promesas de la Lucha Libre (Spanish for "Projecting a new promise lightning tournament") but lost in the first round to Black Terry and Keshin Black.
[20] Juan Carlos Gonzales' son is also a professional wrestler, working as the enmascarado character "Diablo, Jr." on the Mexican independent circuit.
