Golden Magic is the son of professional wrestler Mr. Magia and at one pointed wrestled as "Magia Jr."
Personal life
The wrestler who would later become known under the ring name Golden Magic was born on July 18, 1990, son of professional wrestler Mr. Magia, who also had a hand in training his son when he wanted to become a professional wrestler.
Professional wrestling career
He made his debut at some point before 2010, adopting the ring name Brazo Metálico ("Metal Arm"), wearing the trademark "double arm flex" mask design of Los Brazos and was presented as a son of Brazo de Plata, one of several 2nd generation Braozs that were not actually a member of the Alvarado wrestling family. As Brazo Metálico he quickly began working for a number of smaller Mexican wrestling promotions such as International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) and Alianca Universal de Lucha Libre (AULL). In IWRG he teamed with Brazo de Platino, who according to the storyline was his uncle, as they competed in the 2012 Copa Higher Power; the team was eliminated by Comando Negro and Keshin Black in the first round. He would also team with other supposed family members such as Brazo de Plata Jr. and El Brazo Jr. in AULL where they competed in a 12-man "losers advance" tournament where they defeated the team of Rey Krimen, Sepulturero, Terry 2000, Robin Maravilla, Ultimo Vampiro and Yakuza. In April 2010 IWRG stripped Los Terribles Cerebros (Black Terry, Cerebro Negro and Dr. Cerebro) of the Distrito Federal Trios Championship due to Cerebro Negro electing to work a Desastre Total Ultraviolento (DTU) on the same day as an IWRG show, forcing IWRG to abandon the planned match. IWRG held an eight-team, one-night single elimination tournament from April 15 to April 29, 2010, to crown the new champions. In the first round the team of Brazo de Plata, Brazo de Plata Jr. and Brazo Metálico defeated La Ola Maldita ("The Bad Wave"; Bombero Infernal, Maldito Jr. and Samoth) in the first round but l ost to the team of Hijo de Máscara Año 2000, Máscara Año 2000 and Máscara Año 2000 Jr. to be eliminated from the tournament.
In early 2011 he gave up the Brazo character and revealed that he was actually the son of Mr. Magia, a mid-level wrestler who was primarily active in the late 1990s, and not the son of Brazo de Plata. He began working as the enmascarado (masked) character Magia Jr. on the Mexican Independent Circuit for a few months.
