	During his tenures in the US, he was managed by The Baron (around 1975) and later by J.J. Dillon, and he captured belts like the Texas Heavyweight Title (winning it from Red Bastien on May 28, 1975 in Dallas, TX) and he had two NWA American Tag Team Title reigns with Gino Hernandez, always winning and losing the title against Lothario and Halcón. The first win was on July 20, 1979, they lost it two months later, won it back on December 14 and lost it 14 days later. All the matches were in Houston.

	But Markus also had success in his home country. His feud with El Halcón also had long lenghts in EMLL, and they traded the Mexican Heavyweight Title once, though Markus had another title reign after defeating TNT... but he ended up losing the title to Halcón as well. He also formed a legendary team that is still a known name for newer fans: the original La Ola Blanca (The White Wave) super rudo team which he formed with Angel Blanco and Dr. Wagner.

	During the latter 80s he mostly wrestled in Northern Mexico where he had a feud with Anibal that culminated in a mask vs. mask match that Anibal won. And speaking of Markus losing his mask, he never lost it against Mil Máscaras in the US. I reported it in my page before as I had read it on the Lucha Libre Magazine, but Markus informed me that this was just something that Héctor Valero made up to hurt Markus (who he hated).

	In those last years of his career, Markus also had a team and later a feud with Gran Markus Jr., who isn't his legitimate son, but had his ~~aproval~~ to use the name.

In those last years of his career, Markus also had a team and later a feud with [[Gran Markus Jr.]], who isn't his legitimate son, but had his approval to use the name. They also had a hair vs. mask match that the junior won.

	Markus' last match was in 1990, in the Auditorio Municipal de Torreón, teaming with [[Gran Markus Jr.]] and [[Angel Blanco Jr.]] against [[Octagón]], [[Ángel Azteca]] and [[Stuka]].
