His maestros were Cruz Bocanegra (Silver Fox) y and Pablo Fuentes (MS1) he trained with them for 5 years to become professional. His debut was on April 30, 1990 at Arena Colinas de San Mateo in Naucalpan, Mexico State. Went under different identities until he assumed the one of Rey Gato for more than 20 years. Spent most of his career as rudo, though sometimes he participated as tecnico. His style was based on stiff technique until the end of his career, demonstrating his mat skills. Though he had to adapt to the different wrestling styles of his opponents, he had matches in which he had high flying maneuvers, and hardcore matches, but he never left the classic style. He also created at least 5 or 6 submission holds that other wrestlers could hardly do.
