Charly Manson

Jesús Luna Pozos (born February 18, 1975) is a Mexican luchador (professional wrestler) who primarily works on the Mexican independent circuit as Sharlie Rockstar, where he competes as a member of The Kl4n.

Pozos is best known under the ring name Charly Manson, as well as numerous variations of that name, with his attire, gimmick and ring name being heavily inspired by American rockstar Marilyn Manson.

He has spent the majority of his career competing in Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), but has also competed in International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) and Los Perros del Mal, as well as numerous other independent promotions.

Pozos was trained for his pro wrestling career by Hombre Bala (Aurelio Ortiz Villavicencio, the current Monsther) and made his debut in October 1990.

He started out as an Enmascarado (masked wrestler) known as Jim Kata.

He would later work under names such as Dinamita Luna (Spanish for "Dynamite Moon"), El Cazador (Spanish for "The Hunter") and Brujería (Spanish for "Witchcraft") but none of the gimmicks were successful for Pozos.

March 10, 1998, Pozos made his debut for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) where he adopted the gimmick of "Charly Manson", playing upon the look and personality of American musician Marilyn Manson complete with white facepaint, clothes and entrance music (Manson's Rock Is Dead).

Manson was chosen to be one of the original members of the stable called Los Vatos Locos (Spanish for "The Crazy Guys") alongside Picudo, Nygma and May Flowers.

Los Vatos Locos immediately started a feud (storyline) with another AAA based stable known as Los Vipers and had many 4 on 4, or "Atómicos", tag matches.

On February 14, 1999, Los Vatos Locos defeated the Los Vipers team of Histeria, Maniaco, Mosco de la Merced and Psicosis II to win the Mexican National Atómicos Championship.

Their first run with the Atómicos title was short lived as they were defeated by Los Juniors (Blue Demon, Jr., La Parka, Jr., Máscara Sagrada, Jr. and Perro Aguayo, Jr.) only 63 days later.

Before 1999 was up they won the Atómicos championship once again having defeated Los Vipers for the gold once again.

Their second run would last 127 days before they lost the titles back to Los Vipers on April 15, 2000.

Shortly after losing the Atómicos Championship, Charly Manson left Los Vatos Locos to create his own stable called the Black Family.

The Black Family initially featured Chessman, Escoria and Cuervo and was soon joined by Ozz, all of whom shared Manson's Goth-inspired look.

In 2001 Manson suffered a career-threatening, near-fatal injury that required surgical steel to be inserted into his body.

On March 30, 2001, Manson suffered a career threatening injury that almost took his life.

During a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match, Manson was pushed off a ladder to the floor.

The plan was that he would have his fall broken by a stack of tables but, unfortunately, the tables were not close enough and Manson dropped directly onto the concrete floor.

The impact broke his femur and gave him a hard blow to the head.

The femur had to be strengthened by a surgical steel plate.

In late 2001 Charly Manson returned to the promotion, while still not fully recovered, and began a war of words with the Black Family as Chessman had taken over his leadership role in Manson's absence.

Manson displayed a much more cautious ring style upon his return.

When Charly Manson was finally cleared to return to the ring, he did not return to AAA but instead began working for another Mexican promotion called International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG).

Manson announced that he, his brother Electroshock and Pentagón Black was the new Black Family denouncing the group that Chessman led.

The group soon disintegrated as Electroshock returned to AAA.

Manson's only real feud in IWRG was with a wrestler known as "Ultimo Vampiro" (Spanish for "the Last Vampire")

When Manson reappeared in AAA in September 2002 he did not side with the Black Family but instead sided with their longtime enemies, Los Vipers.

Los Vipers had been made a part of the "Super Group" Lucha Libre Latina (AAA's version of the New World Order), a group that also included Manson's brother Electroshock; the two siblings had a falling-out over Electroshock's relationship with Lady Apache (who was his wife in real life).

The feud between the brothers led to a "retirement match" at Triplemanía XII.

Manson won the match but Lady Apache pleaded with him to not force Electroshock to retire but instead shave her hair off as "payment".

After some consideration Manson accepted and shaved her hair off, with Electroshock voluntarily shaving his own hair off in sympathy.

In 2005 Charly Manson finally rose to the top of the roster in AAA as he was one of the "illuminati" behind the creation of La Secta Cibernetica (Spanish for "the Sect of Cybernetico") led by Manson's longtime friend Cibernético.

The group was joined by Chessman and the rest of the Black Family to form what would become the main rudo (heel or bad guy) stable in AAA at the time.

Its storyline goal was to take over AAA and drive AAA owner Antonio Peña out of power.

In 2008 Manson suffered an injury to the same region once more, bending the surgical steel which required more steel to be inserted surgically.

Pozos worked for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) for over 10 years and was part of such groups as Los Vatos Locos, The Black Family and Los Hell Brothers.

Manson left AAA in late 2009 after a public falling out with AAA management and began working on the Mexican independent circuit and for CMLL as part of Los Invasores, however, in December 2010 he made surprise jump back to AAA.

Pozos was imprisoned in June 2011 for assaulting two police officers and in August 2013 sentenced to seven years and four months in prison.

Following his release in 2015, he returned to professional wrestling with Lucha Libre Elite as Sharlie Rockstar.
