Notes
One of his earliest memories as child was that he used to watch wrestling shows on TV in a grocery store of his neighborhood each tuesday. He paid 20 cents to watch the shows and he dreamed to become a professinal wrestler. One day his mother went to the store and took him away. He told her that we wanted to become a wrestler someday.
The Training
- Although he was trained and advised by different professional wrestlers such as Manny Cabrera, Villano I, Villano II, El Vasco, Tonina Jackson, Califa, Rolando Vera, Ciclón Veloz and more he considers himself as a self-taught wrestler.
- He did not have a formal trainer he went to different gyms and trained with different wrestlers. Pedro Moguel was an olympic wrestler and he trained greco-roman wrestling with him for a couple of times. He was even rejected for his short height and weight but he insisted and kept training.
- He trained for three years before his debut.
The Early Days
He was very young when he started his wrestling career. He was invited to Villa de Guadalupe, Nuevo León. He did not have a license yet. In 1964 at the age of 13, he was invited by the Lothario brothers to participate in a wrestling show in Arena Altamira. His ringname for that match was El Niño Florencio he used a bouquet of flowers as part of the gimmick. His opponent was El Tigre who beat him. There is one anecdote about this wrestling experience. One of the neighbors told his mother that her son was a a wrestler. She refused to see her son in that sport, so she went to the arena, she entered without a ticket, she went to the ring hit Florencio, El Tigre and even the referee. She took her son out of the ring and the crowd thought that everything was part of the spectacle and all were having fun of that scene.
Clarifications
- Raúl Morales was a boxer and neighbor of Juan José Salazar and he never wrestled under that name.
- Never wrestled under the name of El Escobero
- Raúl Olivares was the owner of the Gym where he trained but not his trainer.
