Introduction

Microman (born September 30, 1998) is the ring name of a Mexican masked professional wrestler (luchador enmascarado in Spanish), who is working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). Microman has dwarfism and competes in CMLL's "little peope" exclusive Micro-Estrellas ("Micro Stars") division. He is the son of KeMonito, also a little person, who works as a mascota in CMLL. His real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans.

Microman's debut on April 30, 2017 also marked the debut of the CMLL Micro-Estrellas division, with Microman being one for of the featured performers in the group of little people. He won his first Lucha de Apuestas, mask vs, mask match, at the CMLL 86th Anniversary Show when he defeated and unmasked Chamuel. During his initial training CMLL wanted him to work as a mascota, but he insisted that he wanted to wrestle despite his diminutive stature (1.00 m (3 ft 3 2 in)).

Personal life

Microman was born on September 30, 1998 in Mexico City, Mexico, son of professional wrestling mascota KeMonito (real name not revealed).. Growing up he was a big fan of Mascarita Dorada, who, unlike his father, was an active professional wrestler despite of his dwarfism. During his childhood he would watch as his 0.8 m (2 ft 7 2 in) tall father was thrown around by average sized wrestlers and the toll it took on his body, making him decided that he did not want to be a mascota.

He initially studied computer sciences in school, but gave them up to start training for a professional wrestling career. When he was old enough to start training Microman asked his father for permission to train to be a wrestler, which in turn led KeMonito to ask his longtime friend Último Guerrero, head trainer at CMLL's wrestling school, to train his son. Guerrero initially expressed concerns as there were no other similarly-sized wrestlers training at the school at that time. After being convinced of Microman's dedication he finally agreed to train him for an in-ring career.

Professional wrestling career

At the time Microman completed his training CMLL did not have any other active little people wrestlers, but decided to have several of their mascotas as well as little people wrestlers from the independent circuit, join a newly created "Micro-Estrellas" (Micro Stars) division. Microman and El Gallito defeated Zacarias and Cuije in the first ever Micro-Estrellas match at one of CMLL's "Kids' day" shows.As part of the division CMLL also hired a Micro-Estrella referee. While most matches in CMLL were best-two-out-of-three falls matches, the early Micro-Estrella matches were one fall, but later moved to the traditional two-out-of-three falls format. Microman and the Micro-Estrellas would appear on various CMLL shows, as well as make special appearances on the Mexican independent circuit, such as The Crash Lucha Libre, Promociones El Cholo, or Desastre Total Ultraviolento. At 1.00 m (3 ft 3 2 in) tall, Microman was the shortest wrestler in Mexico when he made his debut.

For the first anniversary of the Micro-Estrellas division, CMLL held an eight-micros torneo cibernetico elimination match, featuring the entire active Micro-Estrella division at the time. Microman teamed up with Atomo, Guapito, and Zacarias to take on Angelito, Chamuel, El Gallito and Mije. In the end Microman pinned Chamuel to win the tournament. In the months following the anniversary Microman and Chamuel began a long running storyline feud, which often saw Chamuel either tear Microman's mask open or steal it during a match. The Micro-Estrellas made their debut at a major CMLL show on November 11, 2018 when Microman, Atomo and Gallito defeated Chamuel, Mije and Zacarias two falls to one on the Día de Muertos show. The Microman/Chamuel feud led to the first one-on-one match in the Micro division on August 30, 2019 as part of CMLL's International Gran Prix. The match ended in a disqualification as Chamuel was disqualified for throwing his mask to Microman in an attempt to fool the referee. The feud between the two led to a Lucha de Apuestas, mask vs. mask match, between the two as part of the CMLL 86th Anniversary Show. Microman won the third and deciding fall, forcing Chamuel to unmask and reveal his real name per lucha libre traditions.
