Mike Mendoza

Víctor Ortiz Jr. is a Puerto Rican professional wrestler.

He is more commonly known by his ringname Mike Mendoza.

Early in his career he worked as Enigma (stylized as Eni?ma), continuing to perform under the name for some time afterwards.

Ortiz began his career in the International Wrestling Association (IWA) as a cruiserweight, winning the division's title before ascending to the lower mid-tier and later performing in the tag team division and winning the EWO World Tag Team Championship in an interpromotional angle with the large independent promotion Extreme Wrestling Organization (EWO).

On March 20, 2010, he debuted in the International Wrestling Association (IWA), winning his contest in the first round of a tournament to determine the first contender of the cruiserweight-based Xtreme Combat Division.

On June 26, 2010, he competed in a royal rumble for the 5th José Miguel Pérez Cup being the tenth eliminated competitor.

On that same event, Ortiz unsuccessfully challenged for the XCD Championship.

On March 5, 2011, the IWA's president Miguel Pérez, Jr. declared that since the XCD Champion had vacated the title due to injury, a four-way match would take place at Juicio Final, but for the traditional IWA Cruiserweight Championship.

On March 19, 2011, Ortíz lost a contest to Dennis Rivera.

On June 4, 2011, Ortiz won the IWA Cruiserweight Championship.

During his reign, the IWA decided to drop the division.

This decision was explained in story line, when a now more muscular Ortiz explained that he had surpassed the constraints of a cruiserweight division, choosing instead to create a new championship and become the self-proclaimed "IWA Television Champion".

At Halloween Mayhem 2011, he defeated a jobber using an inverted neck breaker.

At Histeria Boricua, he participated in a tournament for the Television Championship, winning two contests but losing the final to Carlos Cupules.

At Kaos and Odissey, Ortiz surprised by aiding his former adversary in a title defense and joining him to form a team known as Controversial Inc. or Los Controversiales.

On February 25, 2012, he and Cupules entered an interpromotional angle that had been running between the IWA and the Extreme Wrestling Organization (EWO) since December 2011.

In their debut in EWO, they captured the EWO World Tag Team Championship and promptly rebranded them as the “You Tú Tag Team Championship”.

They held the titles until May, when Doom Patrol won it in a three-way match that included Los Sorprendentes Lights.

Afterwards, Los Controversiales remained involved in the title picture.

After the IWA entered a hiatus, Ortiz continued performing in the local independent circuit as part of Los Controversiales along Cupeles.

In July they appeared at the Puerto Rico/Panama based International Gladiators Wrestling Alliance (IGWA), self-proclaiming themselves tag team champions.

During the second half of 2012, EWO became involved in a charity campaign known as Ponte Pa’ lo +, which was turned into an angle after several of the wrestlers involved were attacked by masked “negative” counterparts.

Team Positivo and Team Negativo clashed throughout the following months.

On December 15, 2012, the heels lost their masks in a bet between both teams, revealing their identity as Ortiz, Cupeles, Real Michael, Two Face, Joseph Cruz “J.C.” Navarro and Oscar Anderson.

In 2013, he debuted in the World Wrestling Council (WWC), where he reigned in the junior heavyweight and tag team divisions before concluding his stay following a run with the second-tier WWC Puerto Rico Heavyweight Championship.

Joined by the latter, the three became known as Los Realengos and issued a challenge in January 2013, which was accepted by Spider and Jason Sparks.

The team feuded with Los Sorprendentes Lights during this timeframe.

On April 13, 2013, they were forced to leave the promotion following a “loser leaves town” against the Lights and Rapero JP.

His 2014 campaign earned him the "Most Improved Wrestler" award from Puerto Rico Wrestling, which is determined by popular vote.

In 2016, he was voted "Most Improved Wrestler" for the second time in the PRW awards.

In 2017, Ortiz joined Liga Wrestling (then known as the World Wrestling League), where he is a two-time WWL World Heavyweight Champion.

To begin his career, Ortiz adopted the gimmick of "Enigma", initially wrestling under a mask.

On May 11, 2017, WWL aired a segment where Mendoza overheard a conversation between Mr. 450 and Konnan, members of an invading faction known as La Junta de Control (lit. "The Control Board", a reference to PROMESA).

After the former rebelled against the latter in a face turn and was jumped by the rest of the group, Ortiz made the save accompanied by Angel Fashion (who had left WWC shortly before him) and the three then made an alliance with the stable known as Westside Mafia to oppose the invaders.

Having been jumped by La Junta for failing to win the WWL World Heavyweight Championship, Mr. 450 became the unofficial leader of this coalition.

Both debutants were unable to attend WWL's next card due to pre-existing arrangements to participate in Cleveland Knights Championship Wrestling's (CKCW) Vanished Empire event, where he faced Matt Justice.

Instead, the promotion ran an angle were the leader of the Puro Macho stable and La Junta's COO, Manny Ferno, visited his grandfather's gym and attacked his brother, Christian Ortiz, who was training to become a wrestler.

On June 24, 2017, Mendoza made his in-ring debut by defeating Puro Macho member "J.C."

Navarro, but the group once again attacked his brother and broke one of his arms as part of the storyline.

In his second appearance at CKCW, Mendoza teamed with Pérez in a loss to the team known as Stateline.
