Profile
Velázquez's interest in professional wrestling began during early 70s, with his friend Juan Carlos Torres (Gitano Ivanoff II) went to train at the gymnasium of Alejandro Rodrigo (Mr. Moto). Some time later, Martin Karadagian recruited him to make his debut on 1977. With Torres began as the odd tag team of Romulo and Remo, based on the founders of the ancient Rome. They were not exactly a tag team Romulo was the bad guy while his "brother" Remo was the good guy, and they argued in the middle of the matches. In 1978, Velazquez went under two different gimmicks Cacique Piel Roja and Mano Negra both as rudos. By 1982, Karadagián trusted on Velázquez's versatility giving him two more gimmicks. One was Atila, based on the historical character and the other was the grotesque alien Saturno 2021.
