Biography
In the beginning he was not really a Lucha Libre fan. He was just invited by one of his friends to train and he liked so much. Vicente was a fast learner and in a short period of time he wrestled against the same friend who invited him and won. The trainers were impressed for his progress and saw potential despite of his height and weight.
He spent about seven years training with Los Cadaveres, then he continued with Rafael Salamanca. He saw his potencial as well, but he adviced him to go to other places, because he could not get opportunities due to his size.
His debut was unmasked under the name of Jose Cruz. He used that name for a couple of times, however he was not really convinced. He found a book about the Romans and he liked that culture and finally he renamed as Romano Garcia.
His first matches were in Plaza de Toros Huamantla and Arena Xalapa. During those days he received advices from Los Escorpion I, Escorpion II, Leo Lopez, Bruno Victoria, and Dick Angelo.
When he joined to Los Diabolicos they became rivals of Los Arqueros del Espacio. From that trio he had a rivalry with Laser.
Possibly best known for his AAA stint, wrestling there from the start of the promotion thru 2008. Best known as Mr. Condor during that stretch, though likely worked under a number of identities when not in his usual spot as an solid opening card wrestler. Evolved into as a veteran who'd face young wrestlers just starting on television. His mask loss to Rey Misterio Jr. early in Misteiro's career is probably his most historically important match for whom Misterio would become.
Before AAA existed, worked in similar role for LLI, and joined the El Toreo tribute group UWE in 2009.
Besides of his in ring career he is the head trainer in Gimnasio Hercules.
