Professional wrestling career

Lizmark Jr. is actually the son of the professional wrestler Lizmark, not just using the ring name as is at times the case in Lucha libre. Lizmark was a big star in Mexico in the 1980s and 1990s. Outside of Mexico, Lizmark Jr. is probably best remembered for his stint in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) where he was part of the groups Cruiserweight division in the late 1990s. In the 2000s, Lizmark Jr. started working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Mexico's top wrestling promotion and the oldest promotion still active today. Lizmark Jr. turned rudo, joined up with Los Perros del Mal and has been moving up the ranks to main eventing on a regular basis. He forms "Team Tall" with Black Warrior and Rayo de Jalisco Jr., with them he won the Copa de Arena Mexico Tournament in 2002. On September 28, 2007, Lizmark Jr. lost his mask in the main event of the CMLL 74th Anniversary Show, in a match called "Infierno en el Ring" ("Hell in the Ring"). Lizmark Jr. was pinned by Blue Panther, in a match that also involved Místico, Dr. Wagner Jr., Perro Aguayo Jr., Atlantis, Último Guerrero and Villano V, and took place inside a Steel Cage. On December 12, 2010, Lizmark Jr. defeated Charly Malice, Marco Corleone and RJ Brewer in a four–way elimination match to become the first-ever LLUSA Heavyweight Champion. On March 13, 2011, Lizmark Jr. returned to Lucha Libre AAA World Wide (AAA), after a sixteen-year absence, re-joining Los Perros del Mal.
