Profile

El Cobarde was born on August 28, 1947 in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. He is the son of Dr. X and the brother of Impostor and Convoy. He began his career in 1965, alongside El Marquez and Fishman. The name "Cobarde" was not initially accepted by the Boxing and Wrestling Commission due to it sounding unsportsmanlike. He considered changing his name to "Blanco y Negro" but ended up sticking with El Cobarde. He became a local star in Ciudad Juarez and then branched out to the national scene. He started appearing in Arena Coliseo Guadalajara by 1970 in semi-main and main event roles. By 1972, he was wrestling in Arena Coliseo and Arena Mexico. He competed in the 1974 NWA Middleweight Title Tournament, defeating Septiembre Negro. He lost to Anibal in the finals in a match that Box y Lucha called the 1975 Match of the Year. He won the mask of Oro Negro on September 3rd, 1975 and later captured the hair of Tug Wilson on October 30th, 1976.

In September 1977, Cobarde found himself matched up in trios action with Fishman and Sangre Chicana. The three had trios matches against each other on September 9th and September 16th, 1977. Cobarde challenged both at the September 16th show and fought bought on September 23, 1977. He defeated both. The exact circumstances are unknown, but this lead to a Fishman vs Cobarde mask vs mask match on September 30, 1977. Cobarde lost the mask and turned technico soon after. He became more famous in Juarez after and later on would become a local lucha libre icon.

Cobarde started to become ill in the early 1980's. By 1982, he had stopped wrestling regularly and passed away on February 7th, 1983 at the age of 36. His death shocked lucha libre fans and got national coverage. The Cobarde name was then passed onto his brother, El Impostor. His nephew later took up the El Hijo del Cobarde name and Hijo del Impostor also later took up the El Hijo del Cobarde name. Cobarde was inducted into the Ciudad Juarez Hall Of Fame in 2010.
