He was trained by El Abuelo Carrillo in professional wrestling, and made his debut in Arena Jalisco; began as tecnico but he eventually made his rudo turn. His first ring name would be Príncipe Maldito, but his opponent's name was Torbellino Maldito; Abuelo Carrillo suggested to change the Maldito for Joel.
