Biography
sometimes spelled Tsuki or Tzuky) is a Mexican Luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler, who works as a Mini-Estrella or "Mini" division in Mexico. Throughout his career Tzuki has worked under various ring names, most notably Máscarita Sagrada, Jr., Mini Rey Misterio Jr. and Max Mini. Tzuki has worked for (AAA), the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and a variety of special appearances for independent promotions all over Mexico, the United States, Europe and Japan and currently works for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). Tsuky's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. While not all Mini-Estrellas in Mexico have Dwarfism, Tzuki is one of the Mini-Estrellas that actually is a dwarf. In 2000, Tzuki joined Japanese lucha libre promotion Toryumon. He debuted in its brand Toryumon 2000 Project under the gimmick of "Venezia", the pet chimpanzee of Masato Yoshino, who sported a wild child gimmick himself. Under this character, Tzuki wore a full body monkey costume and accompanied Yoshino to the ring, occasionally helping him to win matches. He also competed in sporadic wrestling matches against Stalker Ichikawa. After Yoshino joined Milano Collection AT's Italian Connection, Venezia followed him as a non-official member.
In December 2002, after Venezia defeated Ichikawa, a large man wearing a gorilla costume came to the ring and brought a mirror for Venezia to look at his own reflection. This enlightened Venezia of his animal nature and made him understand he belonged to the African jungle instead of Toryumon, so he allowed the gorilla to consolate him and accompany him out of the arena. It was thought to be his last appearance in the promotion, but the same night the gorilla was revealed to be a disguised Don Fujii, who had kidnapped Venezia in order to impede him from helping Italian Connection to win against Fujii's faction Crazy Max. After the incident, Venezia returned to Yoshino's side, being stated he had been found in the Ueno Zoo.
In 2003, Italian Connection split up when its member Yassini attacked Venezia for failing to help in a match, as well as Yoshino, who had tried to help his pet. Venezia followed Yoshino as a single wrestlers, but this ended when K-ness won Venezia's property in a match against Yoshino and Don Fujii. K-ness humorously mistreated Venezia and forced him to dance on the entrance of K-ness's superior Magnum Tokyo, among other humiliating acts. The same year, Tzuki was released from his contract by Toryumon.
Tzuki returned as Venezia for Dragondoor, a promotion formed in 2005 by former Toryumon system wrestlers who had not joined Dragon Gate. He was now the mascot of Taiji Ishimori's faction, which included Milanito Collection at, Little Dragon and Kota Ibushi. He also relived his feud with Yassini, now named Yasshi, who introduced another monkey midget wrestler named Genova in order to oppose Venezia. Dragondoor lasted until 2006 before folding.
