Biography

THE stripper tecnico in AAA. From the mid-1990s Latin Lover was one of the top crowd favorites despite his relatively limited wrestling ability, and his teasing of taking off his trunks would get a guaranteed pop of screaming female fans. (Turns out he was a stripper prior to entering the ring for the first time, so his push by Antonio Peña was fate...) Had repeated knee injuries that slowed him down (even from his usual level) going into the 2000s. Won the first edition of dance contest Bailando por un sueño in 2005 which made him a telenovela star. He even went back to stripping, and seriously injured his knee once again, which led to his first retirement. As with all ring retirements, it didn't last.

Was one of the many ex-AAA invaders who arrived in CMLL in 2010, with the alternative name of Latin-O, occasionally spelled with a heart. Had his final matches with Lucha Libre USA and the indies in 2012-13.

Made a return in 2024 as a non-wrestling figure in a power struggle with Konnan.

EMPRESAS: AAA, LLI, WWF (WWE), Perros del Mal, CMLL, LLUSA
