Cesar Caballero (born November 25, 1977) is a Mexicanluchadorenmascarado, or maskedprofessional wrestler. Working under thering nameOficial Factor, he appears for the Mexicanprofessional wrestling promotionInternational Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG). Caballero previously worked under a number of other ring names including Mega, but they are not officially acknowledged, as theenmascarado character is promoted as a separate entity from his previous characters, which is often the case when a Mexican wrestler adopts a new masked character.[1] He is from a wrestling family, though it is not known to which other wrestlers he is related.
InLucha Libre it is traditional to keep the true identify of a masked wrestler a secret, not revealing their real names and oftentimes not revealing what previousring names they have competed under.[1] Caballero worked as "Mega" from 2000 taking the role fromÚltimo Gladiador.
In 2001International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) formed a new "trio" known asLos Megas, taking three of their regular competitors, putting them together with a character based on the Mega character.Último Vampiro was turned into Super Mega and a wrestler known as El Milionario became known asUltra Mega.Los Megas portrayed a kid-friendlytécnico (good guys) silver-and-black-clad group.[2][3]Los Megas defeatedLos Oficiales (Guardia, Oficial and Vigilante) on August 2, 2001, to win theDistrito Federal Trios Championship, starting off a 161-day-long title reign.[4] The trio was defeated for the title byDr. Cerebro, Cirujano, and Paramedico on January 10, 2002. Only a month later Mega and Ultra Mega defeatedFantasy and Star Boy to win theIWRG Intercontinental Tag Team Championship. They team held the title for 73 days until losing toMAZADA andNOZAWA.[5] Super Mega was later replaced withOmega to keepLos Megas a trio. Mega, Ultra Mega, and Omega teamed up to win the Distrito Federal Trios Championship at some point in 2002 and held the title until December 12, 2003, where they were defeated by Dr. Markus Jr., Dr. Muerte, and Enfermero Jr.. 2003 also saw Mega, Ultra Mega, and Omega win theIWRG Intercontinental Trios Championship from Nosawa,Takemura and Masada on June 5, 2003.[6] Mega and Ultra Mega also held the IWRG Tag Team Championship for almost a year between 2003 and 2004, winning the titles from Fantasy and Star Boy and losing them to Dr. Cerebro and Bombero Infernal.[7] In 2003 IWRG introduced a group designed to be the "archenemy" of Los Megas in the form ofLos Comandos (Comando Mega, Comando Gama, and Comando Omega), who were dark and destructive to counter Los Megas' bright, kid-friendly personas.[8] The group feuded for the better part of a year. The storyline between the two factions saw Mega and Ultra Mega defeat Comando Mega and Comando Gama in aLucha de Apuesta, mask vs. mask match on June 6, 2004.[8] Following the end of the feud with the Comandos, Los Megas began to fade away. At the 2004Castillo del Terrorsteel cage match Mega lost to Black Dragon and was forced to unmask and reveal his birth name. It has not been documented what Caballero did between 2004 and 2012, he may have wrestled under a different mask maybe even retired for a period of time.
In late 2011Oficial Spartan andOficial Rayan formedLos Oficiales Elite, a group created to rivalLos Oficiales (Oficial 911,Oficial AK-47, andOficial Fierro).[9] In early 2012Los Oficiales Elite became a trio with the introduction of Oficial Factor to the team. Factor was the returning Caballero under a new mask and ring character.[10] On March 18, 2012,Los Oficiales Elite defeatedLos Gringos VIP (Apolo Estrada, Jr., Avisman andEl Hijo del Diablo) to win the Distrito Federal Trios Championship, a title that is only sanctioned inMexico City.[11] TheOficiales vsOficiales Elite feud led to all six competitors putting their masks on the line in a steel cage match as the main event of the 2012Guerra del Golfo show. During the show Oficial Factor and 911 both lost a steel cage match, which meant that the two were supposed to face off in the final match; as a show of unity, their respective partners all joined them in the steel cage, making it a six-way match instead. The match came down to Oficial Factor and Oficial AK-47 with Factor gaining the important victory, forcing AK-47 to have his hair shaved off as a result.[12] The feud between the two factions continued throughout 2012 with several highlights, including Oficial Factor winning the 2012Rey del Ring tournament, defeating 29 other wrestlers including members ofLos Oficiales.[13] On July 26, 2012,Los Oficiales endedOficiales Elite's reign as Distrito Federal Trios Championship after 129 days.[14] In late 2012 the individual members ofLos Oficiales Elite began focusing on individual storylines instead of the overall "Oficiales vs.Oficiales" storyline. Factor became involved in a storyline withEl Hijo de Pirata Morgan, which saw Factor win theIWRG Junior de Juniors Championship from Hijo de Pirata, as well as lose and regain the Rey del Ring Championship.[15][16] In November 2012 it was announced that Oficial Factor, Hijo de Pirata Morgan, Oficial 911, andHijo de Máscara Año 2000 had all agreed to risk their masks in aPrison Fatal steel cage match on December 2, 2012. The last person in the steel cage would be forced to unmask.[17] ThePrison Fatal match came down to Factor and Oficial 911 after the other two competitors escaped the cage. At one point allOficiales andOficiales Elite were actually in the cage, but in the end 911 managed to escape, forcing Factor to unmask.[18] After unmasking he gave his name as Cesar Caballero, the same name he gave when he lost the "Mega" mask in 2004.[3] On January 1, 2013, Factor defeated El Hijo de Pirata Morgan to regain the IWRG Junior de Juniors Championship.[19] On May 16Carta Brava, Jr. defeated Factor to win the Junior de Juniors Championship.[20]
