  • The Curious Case of HDLV

    The Curious Case of HDLV

    Lucha Libre has caught the attention of fans outside Mexico over the last couple years, specially when the Mexican companies where one of the few ones that continued to do shows during the Pandemic, giving people another alternatives to watch pro wrestling outside WWE, specially when AEW was just starting to build up their identity around the time, while a few prospects from Mexico caught the attention of people. Today, we will speak about the curious case of one of the top mentioned names that are still shuffling in current day: El Hijo del Vikingo.

    Background of HDV

    First of all: Who’s El Hijo del Vikingo? He’s a second generation star, son of the Luchador King Vikingo, a wrestler known for his independent run on local promotions in Puebla, Mexico and a tenure on Lucha Libre AAA, company where he formed some ties that would have an impact on what would be the future for his children on the industry. King Vikingo was not a popular name for the average fan of Lucha Libre.

    His names starting gaining more attention during 2025, when he was attacked by Alberto El Patron during a tv show in Mexico called Venga La Alegria in the middle of his feud with Hijo del Vikingo in AAA.

    Hijo del Vikingo would make his debut in 2012 at the age of 14 and by the age of 19, he signed a full time contract with AAA in 2017, he started as a filler participant in multi man tag matches and ended up receiving a contract by Vampiro Canadiense.

    Hijo del Vikingo would then become a relevant individual on the Trios Division and the Tag Team Division, working with Laredo Kid and Angelikal in a stable known as Los Jinetes del Aire and would later be joined by Golden Magic, Octagon Jr and Myzteziz Jr. He would become a 2 time World Trios Champion for the company and challenged for the Tag Team Championship several times, one being the highly acclaimed match between him and Laredo Kid against The Lucha Brothers (Pentagon Jr and Rey Fenix) at Heroes Inmortales 2021.

    The Turning Point

    After then reigning AAA Mega Champion, Kenny Omega, retained the championship against Andrade El Idolo at Triplemania XXIX, he randomly declared his intentions to defend the championship against Vikingo, this decision would cause hype on some cases but also a lot of criticism, as a certain sector felt that Vikingo didn’t earned the opportunity to get that chance to not only wrestle Kenny Omega, but a change to become the Mega Champion. The match would end up not happening as Omega vacated the championship due to injury. Vikingo would go on to become champion in a Five-Way match by defeating Samuray del Sol, Bobby Fish, Jay Lethal and Bandido, this match occurred thanks to the former alliance between All Elite Wrestling and Lucha Libre AAA.

    Championship Run and Current Day Boos

    Vikingo would start appearing on AAA programming and several promotions around the United States as champion, including MLW’s Azteca Underground, GCW and finally AEW, where he finally had his match against Kenny Omega in a match that was considered a dream for many, but a forced act for others as Vikingo never looked like a “credible champion” despite being ranked eight on PWI’s top 500, the highest a Mexican wrestler has ever been since Alberto del Rio since 2013. He would go on an vacate the AAA Mega Championship after 833 days due to injury in March 2024.

    During his time way during injury, it was revealed that Hijo del Vikingo stopped paying child support to both of his children, its known that one of the kids is product of his previous relationship with female Luchadora Hades while the other child’s mother information is not of public matter, starting the slow turn of support by Mexican fans towards Hijo del Vikingo, who, apparently, never acknowledged or explained the situation legally (and publicly), causing the AAA socials filled with negative comments towards his persona. He would then return from injury, feuding with Alberto El Patron and El Ojo, but due to the negative comments of child support and the involvement of King Vikingo, who was rumoured to be vouching for his son to get a bigger importance along him on the product, Vikingo started getting constant boos on every show he presented himself in Mexico. Feuding with El Patron, who’s a beloved wrestler in the country and was the AAA Mega Champion at the time didn’t helped his case. WWE would go on and buy AAA, including Vikingo’s contract and making him the first WWE-AAA Deal to be signed, forcing the story with Alberto and El Ojo be wrapped up abruptly, beating him for the AAA Mega Championship to an immense and loud angry crowd and then beating him on a rematch inside a Steel Cage at Triplemania Regia, El Patron would go on and leave AAA after being betrayed by El Ojo, thus getting his contract terminated by WWE orders.

    Hijo del Vikingo has been a prominent persona ever since AAA was purchased by WWE and still is to this day, forming a new version of El Ojo after his heel turn due to the negative of people wanting to support him along Omos and Dorian Roldan. Vikingo’s most recent chapters of his career was challenging Dominik Mysterio at Rey de Reyes, failing to become a three-time AAA Mega Champion and then challenging Penta for WWE’s Intercontinental Championship in what became the first time a WWE Championship was defended on AAA programming.
