On that year he went to [[Arena Mexico]] and after some presentations, he went back to Monterrey on 1941. On that year he won a tournament for a regional middle weight championship.

	He became one of the first Mexican wrestlers who succeeded in the United States. On 1944, he was invited by [[Salvador Lutteroth]] to Mexico City once again. Through [[Firpo Segura]], he met the promoter Billy Romanoff who offered him his first contract to wrestle in the United States in Jackson, Mississippi. He was debuted there as '''Gordo Lozano''', because the promoter thought that Tonina Jackson was not an adequate name. In his debut, he defeated Jack Curtis. In that city he met the promoter Joe Gunter invited him to Birmingham, Alabama, where wrestling was popular; in that city he broke a record if appearing in main events weekly and competed against the most notable wrestlers of the time. The height of his success was so high that he made exhibition matches against former professional boxers. He also participated in unusual matches he went in the ring against a trained 300 lbs bear, a kangaroo, and an eight foot alligator in Alexandria, Louisiana he dubbed a wrestler who was originally booked. In that match he almost lost an arm.		He became one of the first Mexican wrestlers who succeeded in the United States. On 1944, he was invited by [[Salvador Lutteroth]] to Mexico City once again.
