Encyclopedia
Manuel González Rivera was a Mexican
professional wrestler
, or Luchador
best known under the ring name
Dr. Wagner. González made his professional wrestling debut in 1961 and worked the majority of his career for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion
Empressa Mexicana de Lucha Libre
(EMLL). As Dr. Wagner, he worked most of his career as an enmascarado
, or masked wrestler, losing his mask to El Solitario
in 1985. Along with Ángel Blanco
, González formed one of the premier tag team
s of the 1960s and 1970s called La Ola Blanca (Spanish
for "the White Wave"). Two of González' sons work as professional wrestlers under the names Dr. Wagner, Jr.
and Silver King and one of his grandsons made his wrestling debut in 2009 under the name El Hijo de Dr. Wagner, Jr. or Dr. Wagner III
, Mexico
, although later on he would be billed as being born in 1941. The González family moved to Torreón
, Coahuila
before Manuel turned one, growing up and identifying with the Lagunero area of Torreón. The colorful luchadors who wrestled on Friday nights captured the young González's attention early on. Coming from a poor background, González only went to school for a few years before dropping out to work instead. When he was old enough he began training at Roy Velasco's Gimnasio Hércules in Torreón, all while working on the side to earn enough money for both his tuition and food for his family.
, and his new ring identity was born. He adopted a white mask, white trunks and boots to go with the Doctor character and made his debut as a Rudó (bad guy or Heel
) defeating Rubén Juárez in the main event. Dr. Wagner quickly earned the nickname "El Galeno del Mal" ("The Evil Galen") for his brutal style of wrestling and his cheating ways. By 1965 Dr. Wagner was contracted by Mexico's largest promotion Empressa Mexicana de Lucha Libre
(EMLL) and worked regularly in Mexico City. Dr. Wagner's position as a main eventer was established when he defeated Raúl Reyes in a Luchas de Apuesta (bet match), mask vs. hair match on July 17, 1966 forcing Reyes to have his head shaved bald after the match.
under the name La Ola Blanca ("The White Wave"), a name born from the fact that both wore white and overpowered their opponents like a tidal wave. The team quickly became one of the most well coordinated, talented teams as the two masked wrestlers' style complimented each other so well. La Ola Blanca began headlining cards all over Mexico, drawing full crowds whenever they faced the top local talent. In late 1969 the team won a several weeks long tag team tournament to earn a shot at the Mexican National Tag Team Championship
held by El Santo and Rayo de Jalisco
, a team that was virtually unbeatable up until that point in time. La Ola Blanca defeated Santo and Rayo in three very closely contested falls to take the championship. Over the next couple of years La Ola Blanca defended their titles against top teams such as Mil Máscaras
and Black Shadow and Los Rebeldes (René Guajardo
and Karloff Lagarde
). The team were voted Boy y Lucha magazine's "Tag Team of the year" in 1966 and again in 1967. Early on in their career La Ola Blanco became a trio when they added El Enfermero ("The Nurse") but the trio did not last long as El Enfermero was to old to keep up with the intensity of Wagner and Ángel Blanco. La Ola Blanca would become a trio once more when rookie El Solitario
joined the group. El Solitario had both the talent and the charisma to keep up with Wagner and Ángel Blanco. By 1969 the group was the biggest Rudó team in all of Mexico, but El Solitario started to gain quite a following among the fans. El Solidario's popularity only sky rocketed when Dr. Wagner and Ángel Blanco turned on him one night during a match and attacked him. The attack on El Solitario started one of the biggest and longest running storylines in wrestling, spanning three decades. In 1972 El Solitario defeated Ángel Blanco in a Luchas de Apuesta match, unmasking him in the process. The feud between La Ola Blanca did not slow down due to the unmasking and drew full houses all over Mexico as La Ola faced El Solitario and various partners such as El Santo or Rayo de Jalisco. On March 16, 1973 Dr. Wagner defeated Enrique Vera to win the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship
. Dr. Wagner held the Mexican National title until September 22, 1974 where he won the NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship
, forcing him to vacate the national title. La Ola Blanca travelled to the United States, working in the NWA Los Angeles
where they held the NWA Americas Tag Team Championship
for a day. Dr. Wagner would also tour Middle America, teaming with El Enfermero to win the Latin American Tag Team Championship while on tour. On May 1, 1975 Dr. Wagner teamed with El Halcón to defeat Los Gemolos Diablo in a Luchas de Apuesta match, unmasking the twins per Lucha Libre traditions. On February 27, 1976 Dr. wagner lost the NWA Light Heavyweight Championship to Adorable Rubí
as he and Ángel Blanco were leaving EMLL to work for the Universal Wrestling Association
(UWA). Not long after Dr. wagner defeated Alfonso Dantés
for the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship, a title he took with him to the UWA where he defended it for two years. In 1977 Dr. wagner successfully defended the title against UWA's fastest rising star, El Canek
but a year later, on January 15, 1978 El Canek finally won the title.
to face Robot C-3 and Astro Rey in the finals of a "Losers advance" tournament, forcing Robot C-3 to unmask and the already unmasked Astro Rey to have his hair shaved off. In the early 1980s Dr. Wagner was beginning to show his age, working as a tecnico would still be able to produce good matches teaming with El Solitario or Aníbal
against Ángel Blanco. When he turned on El Solitario and Aníbal he got one last run as a main event wrestler as a reunited Ola Blanca faced Solitario and Aníbal. On December 1, 1985 Dr. Wagner and El Solitario finally met in a one on one Luchas de Apuesta in the main event of a show that sold out the 15.000 seat Plaza de Toros Monumental in Monterrey
, which was the largest and most profitable show in Monterrey up until that point. In the end El Solitario defeated Dr. Wagner, two falls to one and claimed the white mask as the biggest Apuesta win of El Solitario's career. Following his unmasking Dr. Wagner focused on introducing his son, wrestling as Dr. Wagner, Jr.
, to the professional ranks.
the car, carrying González , Ángel Blanco, El Solar, Mano Negra
and Jungla Negra crashed when one of the tires exploded. Ángel Blanco, the driver of the car, was killed on impact while González suffered severe spinal damage and was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. The remaining three wrestlers, all passengers in the back seat, only suffered minor injuries from the crash. González had to have steel wires inserted into his spinal column in order to stabilize him, but the injury left his wheel chair bound. The doctors told him he would never walk again but he would later learn to walk with the use of a cane. Following his forced retirement González kept a keen interest in wrestling, overseeing the careers of his sons Dr. wagner, Jr. and César, who wrestles under the name Silver King. He would also work as a cab driver as well as owning a gym and several pieces of real estate. In early 2004 González had to undergo back surgery to have the wires in his spinal column replaced, improving the mobility in his legs. On September 12, 2004 González suffered a heart attack and died, his death was a surprise to friends and family as he had generally been in good health.

When he was old enough he began training at Roy Velasco's Gimnasio Hércules in Torreón, all while working on the side to earn enough money for both his tuition and food for his family.
Professional wrestling career
After training for several years Velasco finally felt that González was ready and arranged for him to make his wrestling debut on July 16, 1961. Initially he worked under a mask as Centella Negra (Spanish for "Black Lightning Spark") and would team with Torbellino Negro ("Black Tornado"). In their debut match they lost to the team of Pancho Ramírez and Monje Loco. After wrestling from under a year González came into contact with Elías Simón, who was one of the main wrestling promoters in the North of Mexico at the time. Simón suggested that González needed a new ring identity and suggested "El Hijo del Médico Asesino", a storyline son of recently deceased Médico Asesino. González liked the idea of a "Doctor" character but wanted to build his own identity and not live off the name of someone else. After giving it some thought González came up with the name "Dr. Wagner", inspired by the German composer Richard WagnerRichard Wagner
