In lucha libre, masked wrestlers closely guard their private lives, which means that if they have never been officially unmasked during their career their birth names are kept secret from the general public.[{{cite book | author = Madigan, Dan | title= Mondo Lucha Libre: the bizarre & honorable world of wild Mexican wrestling | publisher= HarperCollins Publishers | year= 2007 | chapter = Okay... what is Lucha Libre? | pages = 29–40|isbn=978-0-06-085583-3}}] Some wrestlers, especially second or third-generation wrestlers, often assume a different [[ring name|ring identity]] before revealing their family relationship.[ It has not been verified that El Hijo de Dr. Wagner worked under a different identity before December 9, 2009, when he made his debut under that name, but it is possible that the debut date given is only for the "El Hijo de Dr. Wagner" character.][{{cite web| url= http://superluchas.com/debuta-dr-wagner-iii-en-el-primer-aniversario-de-los-perros-del-mal/ | title= Debuta Dr. Wagner III en el primer aniversario de los Perros del Mal | author= Ruiz Glez, Alex | date= December 7, 2009 | access-date= December 12, 2009|work=[[Súper Luchas]]|language=es}}] Before his official debut, he was at times referred to as "Dr. Wagner III" ("Dr. Wagner the Third") by some ''lucha libre'' publications, but that name was never officially used.
