[edit] Career

El Dandy was a mainstay with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre, having feuds with major stars like Satánico, El Hijo del Santo, and Emilio Charles, Jr. He also had a run with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and, in the late 1990s, had a hand in training Lita of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) fame.

During the majority of his career in WCW, Dandy was a rather low card performer, one of many luchadors hired by the company to add some variety to its programs. Prior to a cruiserwieght battle royal at Slamboree '98, Chris Jericho famously insulted several contenders, stating that Dandy was the winner of Lou Ferrigno lookalike contest. Later that year, Dandy was a member of the Latino World Order, a group of Mexican wrestler led by Eddie Guerrero. However, shortly after Guerrero's real-life car accident on New Year's Day, the group was forced to disband by the reformed nWo.

An interesting moment for Dandy took place during the spring break edition of WCW Monday Nitro on March 22, 1999. Early in the show, Dandy took part in an 8-man tag team bout. Later on in the night, WCW Champion Ric Flair held a random drawing to decide a challenger for his title for the main event. Dandy held the winning number but had a bandaged arm from his earlier match. He instead gave the title shot to a fellow, more popular luchador Rey Mysterio, Jr. who came close to winning but lost due to a biased referee in Charles Robinson.[1]

In 2000, Dandy briefly partnered with Silver King to form Los Fabulosos: The hottest men in Latin America. Stacy Keibler, having recently left Standards and Practices, managed the team and lead them to their first major victories in WCW. This did not last long, as Vince Russo, who openly despised and degraded Mexican wrestlers, axed the team upon his arrival to WCW.

Throughout his WCW career, however, Dandy was used as a preliminary wrestler and became somewhat of a cult figure after Bret Hart said "Who are you to doubt El Dandy?" during an interview where Gene Okerlund was asking about challengers for Hart's US Championship.

After leaving WCW, he went back to Mexico as part of Asistencia Asesoría y Administración but left a year later to work as an independent. In 2004, his match against L.A. Park was voted Box y Lucha's match of the year.
