	On [[June 22]], [[1967]] he had one of the biggest wins of his lucha career as he defeated [[El Santo]] for the [[National Middleweight Title]]. Defeating Santo in a title match would be big by itself but this was even more important because Santo had held that title for almost FOUR years. Guajardo kept that title during a few months until he lost it on [[March 9]], [[1968]] against [[Alberto Muñoz\|Alberto "El Platanito" Muñoz]] (later known as White Man). Guajardo regained the title on [[November 20]], [[1969]], and lost it to never win it back against [[Humberto Garza]] on [[May 13]], [[1970]].		On [[June 22]], [[1967]] he had one of the biggest wins of his lucha career as he defeated [[El Santo]] for the [[National Middleweight Title]]. Defeating Santo in a title match would be big by itself but this was even more important because Santo had held that title for almost FOUR years. Guajardo kept that title during a few months until he lost it on [[March 9]], [[1968]] against [[Alberto Muñoz\|Alberto "El Platanito" Muñoz]] (later known as White Man). Guajardo regained the title on [[November 20]], [[1969]], and lost it to never win it back against [[Humberto Garza]] on [[May 13]], [[1970]].

	Around [[1967]], the Rebeldes team split up in a violent way and both men started a long feud that culminated in their famous [[1968]] singles bout which saw Guajardo emerge victorious. They had already had a split in [[1959]], as they had a short singles feud that ended in a bizarre fashion as on [[March 4]], [[1960]] in a singles match at [[Arena México]], a drunk fan climbed in the ring and knocked both men out with a beer bottle. It's not known if this finish was a work or not, but I'd inclined to think it's a work.

It's not known if this finish was a work or not, but I'd be inclined to think it's a work.

	When the famous EMLL split came in [[1974]], Guajardo and his good friends Mendoza and Lagarde had an instrumental part on it and the three men were key players in the newly formed [[UWA]]. On [[November 26]], [[1975]] he became the first ever [[UWA World Middleweight Championship\|UWA World Middleweight champion]] by defeating Anibal in Mexico City in a match for the vacant strap. He would later lose ([[May 2]], [[1976]]) and regain ([[October 31]], [[1976]]) the title to [[Gran Hamada]], and finally lose it again ([[October 2]], [[1977]]) to Anibal. All those title changes happened in Monterrey. And this fact has got an explanation.

	Since he broke up his relationship with EMLL, Guajardo had been promoting "La Division del Norte" (Northern Division), using independent talent to promote shows on the North of Mexico and having Monterrey, Nuevo Leon as his home base. His promotion was highly successful and part of it was because it featured a lot of ringside brawling and some of the wrestlers used bottles, chairs and illegal objects to "spice up" the matches. Guajardo also gave a few extra bucks to the uniformed members of the security team so they would let themselves get pound by some of the wrestlers. This controversial spectacle, and the use of big stars on top, made him a much richer man in a matter of months. This promotion also gave his first break to wrestlers like [[Canek]] and [[Blue Panther]].

This promotion also gave his first break to wrestlers like [[Canek]] and [[Blue Panther]].

	He kept appearing at the weekly Toreo cards from time to time until [[1982]] where he quietly retired without a big ceremony. He eventually had some matches again in [[1990]] when he worked a few weeks for [[Otto Wanz]]'s [[CWA]] (Germany & Austria), and the [[EWF]] (France), under the name "Indio Guajardo". He was sent there as a talent scout for the UWA and he stablished contacts with wrestlers like [[Black Scorpio]] (2 Cold Scorpio), [[Blue Blazer]] (Owen Hart) and [[Pegasus Kid]] (Chris Benoit).

	Other than the different titles he got throughout his career, some of René's accomplishments were receiving the wrestler of the year award in [[1962]], [[1965]] and [[1975]]; tag team of the year with Lagarde in [[1963]] and [[1965]] (among others); participating in two [[Jorge Rivero]] directed [[1964]] films ("Los Endemoniados del Ring" -The demoniac men of the ring- and "La Mano que Aprieta" -The squeezing hand-); having the honor of wrestling against (and losing to) the dream team of [[Lou Thesz]] & [[Black Shadow]] in 1965 (teaming with Benny Galán); wrestling all over South America; winning the mask of [[Halcón de Oro]] (José Fita) and the scalps of several legends like Ray Mendoza, Black Shadow, [[Felipe Ham Lee]], [[Chino Chow]], [[Yamamoto]] and [[Perro Aguayo]].
