Manuel González Rivera (April 13, 1936–September 12, 2004) 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).
