Profile

He lost two of his fingers and the top of another finger during an accident in a textile plant prior to wrestling. This earned him the name of "Mocho", or "Cripple". He became a regular in EMLL from his debut. He was a frequent partner of La Fiera in tag team and trios matches from 1982-1986. The pair formed a short lived but memorable trio called Los Guerreros or Las Víboras Salvajes with Sangre Chicana from 1983-1984. Most of his career was spent in uppercard trios matches, usually facing the likes of Black Man, Américo Rocca, Talismán(the pair met over 30 times between 1980-1986) and Cachorro Mendoza (whom he took the hair of in July 1983). He had an extended rivalry with Chamaco Valaguez. The rivals were involved in five different hair matches from 1980 to 1994 with Mocho winning Chamaco's hair three times. Cota also had an extended feud with Gran Cochisse with the two having three different hair matches from 1983 to 1984. He had a career resurgence in 1993-1994 and was often paired against former partner La Fiera, who had turned technico. He slowed down in the late 1990's and stopped appearing regularly with EMLL/CMLL in 1997. He passed the torch in the late 1990's to his sons, Mocho Cota Jr. and Zayco, who competed in CMLL undercards.
