Salvador Munguia[1] (born November 30 in Mexico City, Mexico) is a Mexican luchador, or professional wrestler retired, currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) portraying a tecnico ("Good guy") wrestling character Metálico.
[2][5] Over the years Tigre Metalico worked on the Mexican independent circuit and did a stint as a regular for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG).
[15][16] At the Arena Mexico 57th Anniversary Show Hijo del Signo teamed up with Los Guerreros Tuareg (Arkangel de la Muerte and Skándalo) to defeat Metálico, Sensei and Soberano Jr. with El Hijo del Signo scoring the deciding pinfall on Metálico.
On March 24, 2014, Metálico was one of 16 men competing for a spot in the 2014 En Busca de un Ídolo ("In Search of an Idol") tournament.
The following week Metálico turned Rudo for the first time in his career as he attacked Oro Jr. at the end of a match against Canelo Casas, Disturbio and El Rebelde.
[21] On August 10, Metálico was defeated by Oro Jr. in the Lucha de Apuestas match, forcing him to unmask and reveal his real name, Salvador Munguia and how long he had been a wrestler, 22 years.
[22] Over the summer of 2015 Metálico started a quick feud with the tecnico Leono that led to a Lucha de Apuestas between the two being announced, only to be quietly dropped a few days later.
[23] Instead Metálico shifted his attention to Omar Brunetti, feuding with him as part of CMLL's weekly shows on Guadalajara, Jalisco.
The storyline led to the two facing off in a Lucha de Apuestas match on September 15 which Metálico won, forcing his opponent to have his hair shaved off as a result.
