Pierroth Jr.
is a retired Mexican luchador (professional wrestler), best known under the ring name Pierroth Jr. Salgado made his professional wrestling debut on July 1, 1984, working as a luchador enmascarado, or masked wrestler, using the name Pierroth Jr. but lost his mask as a result of losing a match to La Parka in 1998.

In 1997 and 1998 Salgado made several appearances for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) as part of the AAA/WWF talent exchange agreement between the two companies.
