Well regarded CMLL tecnico of the late 80s and the 90s, with short stints in AAA and CMLL. Never an absolutely top luchador, but a successful middle level luchador for a number of years.
The opponent in an infamous mask match with Principe Maya. Maya lost, appeared to be inebriated, and refused to unmask.
Originally was going to get a new mask and look in the late 90s. He stayed with his original design, and the mask design instead became Ultimo Guerrero's look.
Briefly became a CMLL referee after his lucha libre career ended, but didn't stick. Returned to wrestling occasionally on indie shows, and tragically passed away from a heart attack after a rios team match against his former partner Atlantis.
