Jorge Gonzalez better known in the ring as Bala de plata was a Mexicali luchador and promoter.  He had a great-aunt who sold masks in the Arenas, and he used to work with her.  On the other group of mask vendors was Humilde who used to sell mask in the Arenas as well and all of them were liking lucha libre more and more.  He experienced the golden age of lucha libre in Mexicali when there were events from Thrusdays to Sundays.  In those days the small arenas had 200-300 attendants while the Auditorio del Estado had 1000 persons.  He was invited by his younger brother [[Angel Mensajero]] to train at Arena Nacionalista with [[Caudillo I]] whose discipline was admirable described almost like military they trained 2 daily hours.  He trained for two years and two months in order to acquire his license making him one of the four graduates of that generation and the first luchador in Mexicali who had to pass an exam to become luchador and his synods were [[El Estudiante]] and [[Killer Dog]].  He is thankful for what Manuel Hernandez taught him, because those skills were useful in his matches.  When the time for his debut came, he did not know what could be his ring name and that was his biggest concern.  His maestro inmediately inspired in the name of the Lone Ranger's horse, Bala de Plata (Silver Bullet) he liked and he decided to look for a proper mask and gear design.  His mask design was made by [[Renegado]] the exploding bullets.  His most notable rivals were Killer Dog and Fray Diablo.  His professional debut was in a tag team match against [[Fray Diablo]] & [[Killer Dog]].  His early days in wrestling were in [[Arena Nacionalista]].  One of his most notable matches in his career was winning the Americas Heavyweight Championship against [[Thunder Boy (Mexicali)|Thunder Boy]].  He had to retire from active competition due to a leg injury.
