El Asesino

Luis Alejandro Rodríguez (May 25, 1988) is a Mexican professional wrestler best known for his time in WCPW, where he performed under the ring name El Asesino. He is the current WCPW World Heavyweight Champion. Before working for WCPW, Rodriguez used the name El Hijo de Mil Caras.

Early Life
Rodriguez was born in San Diego, but spent his first years living in Mexico City, Mexico as the son of luchador Mil Caras. In the mid-90s, when he was still in primary school, Rodriguez's family moved to El Paso, Texas, though they also kept making regular trips to Mexico City. Rodríguez graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School. He then attended Kent State University on a wrestling scholarship where he earned a degree in Business.

Amateur wrestling
Growing up in a family of wrestlers Rodríguez decided to take up Greco-Roman wrestling. As a dual-citizen he earned a place on the Mexican national team in Greco-Roman wrestling and while competing on the national team obtained several accomplishments. In 2006, he won the Central American and Caribbean Games in his weight division and and won a bronze medal at the 2007 Pan American Games. Rodríguez was on track to compete at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China but due a broken wrist he was forced to pull out.

Técnico (2008–2012)
After not competing at the 2008 Olympic games Rodriguez turned to the family business, and trained with his father to become a professional wrestler. Junior made his debut appearance on May, 2008 as he ran in during an Mexican Championship Wrestling (MCW) show to save his father from a beat down from Ultimo Guerrero and Caballo Loco. After making follow up TV show appearances El Hijo de Mil Caras did not make his in ring debut until September 16 of that year when he teamed with his father Mil Caras in against Ultimo Guerrero and Caballo Loco which ended in victory for the father and son duo. In his first singles test in the company, Caras competed in the 2009 La Copa Junior, but the storyline of the tournament saw him defeated in the semi-final by El Misterio. Caras' advancement to the semi-final of the cup, mere months after signing with the company was an indicator that the bookers were interested in elevating him up the rankings, this was further supported when he received matches for both the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship and the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship inside a three week period. The following year on March 31, 2010 Caras was entered again into the La Copa Junior tournament and earned a return victory over El Misterio who knocked him out of the tournament the previous year. He also won against Oscar Martinez and Keji Tanahashi to gain a place in the final, defeating Héctor Ramirez to win the prize. Caras received two opportunities to challenge Caballo Loco for the MCW World Light Heavyweight Championship but came up short until his third attempt on July 8, 2010 when he became the MCW World Light Heavyweight Champion. Caras's run with the MCW World Light Heavyweight Championship remained largely uneventful with only four title defenses in the 533 days that he held the championship. After defending against American Dragon and former champion Caballo Loco it would be 9 months before his next defense. By the fall of 2011 a story broke that Rodriguez had wrestled a dark match for All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) and that they had offered him a contract. Over the following months conflicting reports of whether he had signed or not arose but he remained MCW World Light Heavyweight Championship. When Caras lost the title to Último Guerrero it was believed that he had indeed signed with AJPW, with him being rumored to be a surprise participant in the 2012 New Year's Battle Royal. However, Rodriguez remained with MCW and stated that he signed a two year deal and chose MCW because they offered him a better deal than AJPW.

Rudo (2012-2014)
Throughout his entire career EL Hijo de Mil Caras had always fought as a técnico. However, after the contract dealings with AJPW surfaced he began showing signs of becoming a rudo. He would turn his attention away from the matches and instead try to win the approval of the fans, often costing his team the match because he was distracted. Caras himself explained this behavior by stating that he "hurt his knee, but bravely stayed in the arena". After hinting at a change for weeks Caras finally cemented his villainous persona on April 11, 2013 when he attacked hos brother, Escorpión. He then became the first member of the Rodríguez family to be a heel. After becoming a rudo, he adopted the persona of El Asesino (The Assassin). He then fought his father in his retirement match which Asesino won.

U.S. Beginnings and World Championship (2014-present)
On July 17, 2014, Rodriguez confirmed that he had signed a three-year contract with WCPW, an upstart wrestling company started by James Omari Morgan Sr.. Furthermore, he would retain the rights to his name, mask and image but allow the WWE to use it for promotional purposes while he is under contract with them. He agreed to the contract since it addressed the main reasons why he turned down the AJPW's offer in January 2011. After three months, he debuted in the main event of the first pay-per-view In The Beginning when he defeated Gunner Armstrong. He debuted in the main event using his new cross armbar submission as his signature move. He defended his championship against Fazwah Bashir at When Worlds Collide. He then once again defeated Bashir at Aftershock. He would go on to defeat his old Mexican rival El Misterio at Spring Break Bash in March. He will fight Jayson McCann, the winner of The Wrestling Classic tournament from Spring Break Bash.
