During 1984 and 1985, while in High School (jr. year), Lemús' nephew had been training during the Summer at the training facility of Arena Cuatro Caminos in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. He did this secretly, because his uncle was opposed to him being a wrestler due to the toughness of the business in itself.

But the young man kept training in the gym, and finally got his chance to get formally trained, as his godfather was a wrestling promoter called Mad Dog Cruz (Roberto Solloa) who that did shows in San Antonio and had his own gym. He kept training during school months, and when Summer hit and he went to Nuevo Laredo as every year, the guys there told his uncle that the young man was "ready to go". This caught Lemús I by surprise because he didn't know his nephew was training, but he ws both amazed and happy.

His first wrestling name was Lemans, and started wearing a black mask with a golden "antifaz" so people would know he was related to Lemús II. So on October 26, 1986 in San Antonio TX, at the now defunct Arena Valadez, he made his debut against old timer El Yaki, who gave the rooking a good kicking but was DQ'd for taking Lemans mask off!

Lemans realized this was just a hobby so he decided to get an education and a career in case an injury cut his career short. But before leaving, he was voted rookie of the year at the Arena Valadez.

In December of 1986 he joined the Navy where he had the chance to wrestle a lot as he joined the ship's amateur wrestling team, competing against another ships stationed on the USS Pyro, and then during his vacations home to Texas he'd wrestle professionally.

It was in 1989 when Lemús I explained that his nephew had paid his dues and was his time to step up and take his chance to shine. Lemans became Lemús II and changed his old mask for the the black one with the red antifaz.

In 1991 he moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles, where he lived during a year, only wrestling amateur style. There he was close to people living the "Chicano style", rap, cursing, gang fights and a lot of negativity, but he stayed out of trouble and a year later he received orders from Corpus Christi, TX to go to wrestle with the UWA (Universal Wrestling Alliance). The promoter felt that he had to wrestle as a tecnico due to his "lucha libre" background. Before his debut match with the new promotion, he though that if Sangre Chicana claimed to be from Chicago, why couldn't he claim to be from L.A.? So that night he became "Lemús II from East L.A.".

The crowd liked him and his lucha style so he became quickly popular with the Latin crowd attending and just after three months he was given the UWA Junior Heavyweight Title. Things were going very well for Lemús II, who was wrestling a lot all over Texas and into Nuevo Laredo in Mexico.

During this time, as a sign of respect for his uncle he changed his red antifaz to gold (though he has often used both) and also had his first chance to tag with his uncle.

In 1998, the team of Lemús I & II began to wrestle for Jose Lothario and Shawn Michaels' PWI (Pro Wrestling International). Lemús I was also part time employed by AAA, so after their PWI run, the uncle moved to Mexico and the nephew was welcomed by UTW (Underground Texas Wrassling) where he shortly became the UTW Heavyweight champion.

He them moved on to STEW (South Texas Extreme Wrestling) but due to bad promotion and problems with the egos backstage, Lemús II found his roots and jumped to a smaller time promotion, an old fashioned pure lucha company called "Lucha Libre Mexicana" Promociones Anguiano run by old timer Salvaje Anguiano.

Lemús II is not a big time star but he's a good, hard worker who went to emulating the style of Black Gordman, El Solitario and Lemús I, to become his own person: rough, smart, and with a somewhat 80s traditional style with a lot of matwork. As he says it, "a conservative rudo".

After ten years of service (including being sent to the Persian Gulf) he left the navy in 1996, though he became affiliated with the navy reserve and he's currently a deputy sheriff working at the county jail. He's still wrestles on small independent companies when given a chance, as he's well known around the local circuits because of the TV exposure that Lothario and PWI gave him in 1998-98.

-<!-- Bio -->
+During 1984 and 1985, while in High School (jr. year), Lemús' nephew had been training during the Summer at the training facility of Arena Cuatro Caminos in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. He did this secretly, because his uncle was opposed to him being a wrestler due to the toughness of the business in itself.
-== Biography ==
+But the young man kept training in the gym, and finally got his chance to get formally trained, as his godfather was a wrestling promoter called Mad Dog Cruz (Roberto Solloa) who that did shows in San Antonio and had his own gym. He kept training during school months, and when Summer hit and he went to Nuevo Laredo as every year, the guys there told his uncle that the young man was "ready to go". This caught Lemús I by surprise because he didn't know his nephew was training, but he ws both amazed and happy.
-During 1984 & 1985 as a junior at "Burbank high school" Lemus' nephew had been training during the summer at the training facility of "Arena Cuatro Caminos" in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. He did this without the consent of his uncle who opposed to his nephew getting involved in the cutthroat business of lucha libre (mex, pro wrestling). When the summer training ended in Mexico, he returned back to San Antonio to continue training in the gym, and was able to become trained under the watchful eye of luchadores "Arandu and el Horoscopo". His godfather was an old time wrestling promoter by the name of "Mad Dog Cruz" (Roberto Solloa). Roberto promoted lucha libre shows in San Antonio, ran his own gym and recruited young talent at the famed Arena Valadez. The young student kept training until the end of his senior year and when summer hit he returned back to Nuevo Laredo. The wrestlers there told his uncle that the young man was "ready to go." This caught Lemus I by surprise because "the old nan" was not aware that his young nephew was being trained all along without his knowledge. All and all Lemus I was amazed and happy.
-His first wrestling name was "Lemans" and started wearing a black mask with a red "Antifaz" (stripe) so that people would know he was related to "Lemus I" (Lemus I wore a black mask with gold Antifaz.) On October 26, 1986, in San Antonio, Texax, at the now defunct Arena Valadez (Promotion Owned By Mad Dog Cruz) "Lemans" made his official pro wrestling debut against old timer "El Yaki". This match didn’t last long as the old timer would not allow Lemans to showcase any skills through the whole match. In short, the youngster took a beating. However, at the end of the match, Yaki was DQ'd for taking Lemans’ mask off! After his debut  match, Lemans had come to the conclusion that this for him was a hobby. He decided to pursue an education, just in case an injury cut his career short, so he enlisted in the United States Navy. Before departing for boot camp in December of 1986, he was voted "Rookie Of The Year" at Arena Valadez. While in the Navy and stationed aboard the "USS Pyro AE-24" in Vallejo, Ca, he competed in the ships amateur wrestling team. During his vacations, he would wrestle professionally. It was in 1989, while on leave, when Uncle Lemus I explained to his nephew that the dues were paid and that it was time for him to step up and seize the moment. Upon the insistence of old timer Sangre Chicana and Lemus I, Lemans was baptized as Lemus II and changed his mask to black and gold just like his uncle.
+His first wrestling name was Lemans, and started wearing a black mask with a golden "antifaz" so people would know he was related to Lemús II. So on October 26, 1986 in San Antonio TX, at the now defunct Arena Valadez, he made his debut against old timer El Yaki, who gave the rooking a good kicking but was DQ'd for taking Lemans mask off!
-(Note; Before lemans would ever step into the ring, there was all ready a Lemus II, this Lemus II lost his mask in mexico city in a trios match and soon was out of the wrestling,business and so Lemus I then gave the name to his nephew)
+Lemans realized this was just a hobby so he decided to get an education and a career in case an injury cut his career short. But before leaving, he was voted rookie of the year at the Arena Valadez.
-Years after, while on active duty and still pursuing an education, Lemus II was stationed in Oakland, Ca and had a very very small stint for "All Pro Wrestling". He was able to acquire military orders to Los Angeles, where he was stationed for a year, still learning all he could about wrestling. Living in L.A for thiis young kid was tough: plenty Of gangs, cruising, living the chicano lifestyle, but Lemus II managed to stay out of trouble, and the only lesson learned was life on the streets. After A year and a half of being stationed in LA, and california in general, Lemus received military orders to Ingleside, Texas, for shore duty.
+In December of 1986 he joined the Navy where he had the chance to wrestle a lot as he joined the ship's amateur wrestling team, competing against another ships stationed on the USS Pyro, and then during his vacations home to Texas he'd wrestle professionally.
-Universal Wrestling Alliance (UWA) was a small time promotion run by veteran wrestler, "Chuck West". It ran shows twice a month and employed a decent roster. Due to the lucha libre skills Lemus II  possesed, West decided Lemus II would wrestle as a tecnico. Lemus II figured if Sangre Chicana claimed to be from Chicago, why not be from L.A? On the night of his first UWA match, he became "Lemus II From East L.A" In his initial matches, the Latin crowd enjoyed Lemus II as a tecnico and soon enough due to marketability, on behalf of West, Lemus II became so popular with "The Raza", he became The UWA Junior Heavyweight champion.
+It was in 1989 when Lemús I explained that his nephew had paid his dues and was his time to step up and take his chance to shine. Lemans became Lemús II and changed his old mask for the the black one with the red antifaz.
-Things were going well soon after, with shows in San Antonio, Corpus, and into Mexico. He was even able to tag with his uncle Lemus I. Both Lemus I and II officially adopted the black mask with red antifaz (at times he uses gold and even blue.)
+In 1991 he moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles, where he lived during a year, only wrestling amateur style. There he was close to people living the "Chicano style", rap, cursing, gang fights and a lot of negativity, but he stayed out of trouble and a year later he received orders from Corpus Christi, TX to go to wrestle with the UWA (Universal Wrestling Alliance). The promoter felt that he had to wrestle as a tecnico due to his "lucha libre" background. Before his debut match with the new promotion, he though that if Sangre Chicana claimed to be from Chicago, why couldn't he claim to be from L.A.? So that night he became "Lemús II from East L.A.".
-In 1998 the team of Lemus I and II began to work for "Jose Lothario and Shawn Michaels" PWI (Pro Wrestling International.) Lemus I was part time employed by AAA, so after their PWI run Lemus I began to wrestle extensively in Mexico. Lemus II would also become part of the UTW (Underground Texas Wrassling) roster where he would become the UTW champ. While working for different promotions such as UTW, STEW (South Texas Extreme Wrestling), The Menace From East L.A would find his roots and jumped to a smaller time promotion that presented "Lucha Libre"
+The crowd liked him and his lucha style so he became quickly popular with the Latin crowd attending and just after three months he was given the UWA Junior Heavyweight Title. Things were going very well for Lemús II, who was wrestling a lot all over Texas and into Nuevo Laredo in Mexico.
-LLM (Lucha Libre Mexicana) run by veteran Luchador "Salvaje Anguiano" was home to Lemus II. Working for a small time promotion like LLM meant back to school basics, a more in depth look at the psychology of wrestling in general, and, most of all, having fun. In recent years, while becoming part of the LLM Roster, Lemus II was also part of TXW (Texas Extreme Wrestling), where he was fortunate enough to win the TXW Light Heavyweight Title, and recently won the LLM title from old timer "El Horoscopo." In the years that Lemus II has been part of LLM, he has twice won "Rudo Of The Year" awards.
+During this time, as a sign of respect for his uncle he changed his red antifaz to gold (though he has often used both) and also had his first chance to tag with his uncle.
-Lemus II is not a big time star, he's a decent hard worker, who went on to emulate the styles of "El Solitario" "Sangre Chicana" "Lemus Sr" to become rough, smart and with somewhat 80's traditional style. In short, as he says, "a conservative rudo"
+In 1998, the team of Lemús I & II began to wrestle for Jose Lothario and Shawn Michaels' PWI (Pro Wrestling International). Lemús I was also part time employed by AAA, so after their PWI run, the uncle moved to Mexico and the nephew was welcomed by UTW (Underground Texas Wrassling) where he shortly became the UTW Heavyweight champion.
-After 10 Years of being in the Navy, which included two tours to the Persian gulf, Lemus II was honorably discharged from active duty in 1996. He quickly joined the naval reserve, also did one more tour in the middle east, and is also currently a deputy sheriff, working at the county jail. Lemus II has three kids, and a very supportive wife, Sandra  (who’s always worried about him, whether he got hurt or not.) Lemus II still wrestles on small indy companies when given a chance as he is still known around the local circuits, thanks to the TV exposure Lothario and PWI gave him in 88-89. Recently Lemus II works for (MAW) Mexican American Wrestling, (TWA) Texas Wrestling ASSC and Div Del Norte (Nvo Laredo , Mexico)
+He them moved on to STEW (South Texas Extreme Wrestling) but due to bad promotion and problems with the egos backstage, Lemús II found his roots and jumped to a smaller time promotion, an old fashioned pure lucha company called "Lucha Libre Mexicana" Promociones Anguiano run by old timer Salvaje Anguiano.
