Wagner , Jr . began wrestling at an early age . César made his debut in November 1986 and initially used the name El Invasor ( Spanish for " the Invader " ) . Within a year of his debut , he changed his name and started working as the Luchador Emmascadero ( masked wrestler ) Silver King . Silver King started working for the Universal Wrestling Association in the lower matches on the cards . On November 12 , 1987 , Silver King wrestled in a Lucha de Apuestas ( a " Bet " Match ) where he put his mask on the line against El Hijo del Santo ' s mask .

The storyline saw Los Cowboys lose the UWA World Tag Team title on June 28 , 1992 , but gain a measure of revenge less than a month later when Los Cowboys beat the Can - Am Express in a " Lucha de Apuestas " match and forced Furnas and Kroffat to unmask and reveal their true identities . During their time as double champions Los Cowboys were invited to participate in a tournament to crown new National Wrestling Alliance ( NWA ) World Tag Team Champions hosted by World Championship Wrestling ( WCW ) . the team competed at Clash of the Champions XIX and lost in a first round match to The Fabulous Freebirds . on July 7 , 1993 , Los Cowboys lost the WWA World Tag team titles to El Dandy and Corazon de Leon but regained them two months later . Their second run with the WWA World Tag Team title only lasted a month as Villano IV and Villano V took the title from them on October 10 , 1993 . On October 31 , only 21 days after losing the tag team titles Silver King won his first singles title when he defeated his partner El Texano for the UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship . Despite having defeated his own partner Los Cowboys did not turn on each other but kept on working together . In early 1994 Los Cowboys ended their relationship with the UWA and began working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre ( CMLL ) . Silver King defeated Black Magic for the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship on July 28 , 1994 . Not content to work in the singles division Los Cowboys won the CMLL World Tag Team Championship ( while Silver King still held the singles world title ) on December 16 , 1994 , by unseating long time champions El Canek and Silver King ' s brothers Dr . Wagner , Jr . As if being a double champion was not enough Silver King teamed up with Shocker to win the 1995 Gran Alternativa tournament . During 1995 Los Cowboys began working for the Japanese - based International Wrestling Association of Japan where they won the IWA World Tag Team championship from Los Headhunters on March 3 , 1995 , in Hiroshima , Japan . The duo lost the tag team title on August 20 the same year on the undercard of the IWA ' s " King of Deathmatches " show . Silver King would also lose the CMLL World title and the tag team title in 1995 being defeated by Apolo Dantés and the team of Los Headhunters respectively . In February 1996 he teamed up with his brother and defeated Dos Caras and Último Dragón to win the vacant CMLL World Tag Team Championship . When WCW started signing Luchadors in 1997 , Silver King joined the North American promotion and vacated the title that he and his brother still held at the time . World Championship Wrestling ( 1997 – 2000 ) . Silver King joined World Championship Wrestling in 1997 as one of the many Luchadors that worked for the company in that time period . He mostly found himself usually working six man matches on WCW Monday Nitro , teaming with Psicosis and La Parka or Villano IV and Villano V . During his time in WCW Silver King only made 5 pay - per - view appearances . Twice he participated in a Three Ring , 60 man battle royal at World War 3 1997 and World War 3 1998 . He also participated in a Junkyard Invitational at Bash at the Beach 1999 but with no success . His highest profile match was an unsuccessful challenge for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship against Juventud Guerrera at Fall Brawl 1998 . When Eddie Guerrero formed the Latino World Order Silver King was one of the Luchadors that joined the group but never rose above his lower mid - card status . It was not until 2000 when Stacy Keibler announced that she started managing the team of Silver King and El Dandy , known as Los Fabulosos , that it looked like Silver King was going to move up the rankings . Silver King was released from WCW in late 2000 . Black Tiger III . After leaving WCW , he returned to CMLL and began wrestling for CMLL ' s Japanese affiliate , New Japan Pro Wrestling ( NJPW ) . In 2001 , he adopted the Black Tiger character previously used by Mark Rocco and Eddie Guerrero making him the third person to appear under the mask , which is why he ’ s generally referred to as Black Tiger III . As Black Tiger , he wrestled several tours with New Japan starting out working a series of matches with the storyline opponent of the Black Tiger , Tiger Mask – in this case Tiger Mask IV . Together with his brother Dr . Wagner Jr . he had an unsuccessful IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship challenge against the team of Jushin Thunder Liger and El Samurai in 2001 . During 2003 NJPW began to phase out most of the Luchadors they had employed over the years and thus Black Tiger III began working regularly in Mexico for CMLL , this marked the first time the gimmick was used for a longer period of time outside of NJPW . Since the storyline in Mexico was that Black Tiger III was Japanese they could not acknowledge the fact that he and Dr . Wagner , Jr . were in fact brothers ( in Japan Black Tiger has until now always been portrayed by a foreigner ) . He usually ended up as Dr . Wagner Jr .

The team would hold the Trios title for over a year until being unseated on July 9 , 2004 , by Black Warrior , El Canek and Rayo de Jalisco , Jr . When their father ( Dr . Wagner ) died on September 12 , 2004 , Dr . Wagner , Jr . was turned tecnicó ( good guy by sympathy but since González was working as Black Tiger III and not publicly acknowledged as the son of Dr . Wagner he remained a rudó ( bad guy ) . Dr . Wagner Jr . ' s turn meant that Black Tiger III did not have a partner or a direction , he began working for CMLL ’ s associate International Wrestling Revolution Group ( IWRG ) and some of the smaller CMLL shows , basically in a holding pattern . González kept working as Black Tiger even when NJPW introduced Rocky Romero as the latest Black Tiger ( Black Tiger IV ) but due their working relationship with NJPW , CMLL decided that when González worked for them he needed a different " persona " . He was repackaged as " El Bronco " complete with a new mask and promoted as someone new to CMLL . González made his debut as " El Bronco " teaming up with Elektro ( who had just jumped from Asistencia Asesoría y Administración ( AAA ) to CMLL ) and L . A . Park against the original members of Los Guerreros del Infierno ( Último Guerrero , Rey Bucanero , and Tarzan Boy ) . The match was seen as a letdown as the crowd did not appreciate Elektro and did not buy into the " El Bronco " gimmick and the scheduled rematch was rebooked with Hijo de Lizmark and Místico taking over their roles in the match and González as El Bronco replacing Lizmark Jr . in the 2005 Gran Alternativa tournament where his team lost in the first round . After the Gran Alternativa González only made sporadic CMLL appearances as González . González continued to wrestle as Black Tiger III in IWRG and in other independent Mexican wrestling promotions . On February 4 , 2006 , González finally gave up the Black Tiger name as he lost a " Lucha de Apuestas " to L . A . Park and was unmasked . After losing his mask González went back to working as Silver King . All Japan Pro Wrestling ( 2007 ) . In late 2007 , Silver King started working for All Japan Pro Wrestling ( AJPW ) where he became masked once again .

The match between the two teams ended in a draw , leaving it undecided if both or neither teams will wrestle at Triplemania XVIII . On June 6 , 2010 , at Triplemania XVIII , Silver King was officially billed as " Silver Cain " , both as a reference to the biblical Cain and Abel , as well as a way for AAA to get around him wearing a mask again . The Mexican Boxing and Wrestling Commission had been giving González problems due to the fact that he had previously lost his mask and this was a way to get around it since he was allowed to wear a mask under a new character . He would only have to use the new name when wrestling in Mexico City . On that night he and Último Gladiador outlasted three other teams , pinning James Storm of Beer Money , Inc . to win the AAA World Tag Team Championship , Silver King ' s first AAA title .

In September 2010 , Silver King and Último Gladiador had announced that they were joining La Sociedad . Initially Electroshock made no official announcement on whether or not he would be following them , but agreed to represent the group at Héroes Inmortales IV in order to get his hands on Heavy Metal , with whom he had been feuding the past weeks . However , on November 14 he announced that he was not part of La Sociedad and urged Silver King and Último Gladiador to leave the group . After Electroshock turned La Sociedad down for the second time on November 18 , Silver King and Último Gladiador turned on him and beat him down with La Milicia .

Mask match . Afterwards , Silver King revealed that he had been behind El Consejo from the beginning , revealing himself as the leader of the rudo stable . However , Silver King quickly began having problems with his new stablemates , with Máscara Año 2000 , Jr . asking how they could trust a man who was capable of betraying his own brother . The storyline was dropped after both Máscara Año 2000 , Jr . and Toscano left El Consejo . On December 8 , 2013 , at Guerra de Titanes , Silver King , El Texano , Jr . and El Consejo ' s newest member , El Hijo del Fantasma , unsuccessfully challenged Los Psycho Circus for the AAA World Trios Championship .
