professional wrestler who has had most of his success inLucha Libre as El Dandy throughout the 1990s.Career
El Dandy was a mainstay with
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre , having feuds with major stars likeSatánico ,El Hijo del Santo , and Emilio Charles, Jr. He also had a run withWorld Championship Wrestling (WCW) and, in the late 1990s, had a hand in training Lita ofWorld Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) fame.During the majority of his career in WCW, Dandy was a rather low card performer, one of many
luchador s hired by the company to add some variety to its programs. Prior to a cruiserwieght battle royal at Slamboree '98,Chris Jericho famously insulted several contenders, stating that Dandy was the winner ofLou Ferrigno lookalike contest. Later that year, Dandy was a member of theLatino World Order , a group of Mexican wrestler led byEddie Guerrero . However, shortly after Guerrero's real-life car accident onNew Year's Day , the group was forced to disband by the reformed nWo.An interesting moment for Dandy took place during the
spring break edition of "WCW Monday Nitro " onMarch 22 ,1999 . Early in the show, Dandy took part in an 8-man tag team bout. Later on in the night, WCW ChampionRic Flair held a random drawing to decide a challenger for his title for the main event. Dandy held the winning number but had a bandaged arm from his earlier match. He instead gave the title shot to a fellow, more popular luchadorRey Mysterio, Jr. who came close to winning but lost due to a biased referee inCharles Robinson . [http://www.ddtdigest.com/updates/1999033m.htm]In 2000, Dandy briefly partnered with Silver King to form Los Fabulosos: The hottest men in
Latin America .Stacy Keibler , having recently left Standards and Practices, managed the team and lead them to their first major victories in WCW. This did not last long, asVince Russo , who openly despised and degraded Mexican wrestlers, axed the team upon his arrival to WCW.Throughout his WCW career, however, Dandy was used as a preliminary wrestler and became somewhat of a cult figure after
Bret Hart said "Who are you to doubt El Dandy?" during an interview whereGene Okerlund was asking about challengers for Hart's US Championship.After leaving WCW, he went back to Mexico as part of
Asistencia Asesoría y Administración but left a year later to work as an independent. In 2004, his match against L.A. Park was voted "Box y Lucha's" match of the year.In July 2008 El Dandy was ranked #5 in
Pro Wrestling Illustrated 's Top 100 Jobber list.Managers
