Silver King lost his mask to El Hijo del Santo on November 13th, 1987 at Auditorio de Tijuana, in Tijuana, Baja California.
He worked for World Championship Wrestling (WCW) from 1997 to 2000. For a brief time he was managed by Stacy Keibler there.
After leaving WCW, he wrestled for CMLL's Japanese affiliate, New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) as Black Tiger III. He was the third wrestler to wear the mask, the first two being Mark Rocco and Eddie Guerrero.
Besides WCW and NJPW, he has wrestled for All Japan Pro Wrestling, Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), International Wrestling Association of Japan (IWA), International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG), Universal Wrestling Association (UWA), World Wrestling Association (WWA) and Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA).
