Biography
is a Mexican professional wrestler, or luchador, and wrestling trainer who is best known under the ring name Pirata Morgan. Ortiz made his professional wrestling debut in 1979 and has in the last 20 years worked for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) and is active on the Mexican Independent circuit, having left AAA in early 2009 after working for the company for over 10 years. Ortiz's ring name comes from the name of Captain Henry Morgan, a 16th-century Pirate noted for his cruelty. Pirata organ has been a member of the Trio Los Infernales from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s and as part of that group he was one third of the first Mexican National Trios Champions and CMLL World Trios Champions. He was also the founder of the group Los Bucaneros (the Buccaneers), teaming with other family members who all used a "Pirate" Ring persona. In 1981 Ortiz suffered an injury during a match where he lost his right eye and has wrestled wearing an eyepatch ever since. In late 2008 Barba Roja and El Hijo de Pirata Morgan were both cut from AAA. In early 2009 Pirata Morgan left AAA, citing his dissatisfaction with the direction of the company in recent years. Subsequently Pirata Morgan has worked on the Mexican Independent circuit as well as making appearances for IWRG. On September Pedro Ortiz is part of an extended wrestling family that includes his brothers who wrestle as Verdungo and Hombre Bala and sister La Marqueza. Ortiz also has at least one brother who is not a professional wrestler. Ortiz has two children who are also professional wrestlers, his son wrestles as Pirata Morgan Jr. and his daughter wrestles as Perla Negra. In storyline terms wrestlers Drake Morgan, Barba Roja, and Hijo de Pirata Morgan have all been billed as sons of Pirata Morgan but are not actually related by blood. Several of his nephews and a niece are also professional wrestlers, using the ring names Rey Bucanero, India Sioux, Hombre Bala Jr., and Corsario
