He was originally an ''enmascarado'', ([[wrestling mask|masked wrestler]]), but lost the mask early in his career and has performed unmasked ever since. The majority of his in-ring career was spent in [[Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre]] (CMLL), where he worked as a ''[[Heel (professional wrestling)|rudo]]'' (the [[antagonists]] also known as [[heel]] in professional wrestling lingo).

El Satánico was one of the main members of the ''[[Los Infernales]]'' ("The Infernal Ones") [[Stable (professional wrestling)|stable]] from its creation in the early 1980s through 2008, and was a member of every single incarnation of the group. ''Los Infernales'' won the [[CMLL World Trios Championship]] three times and the [[Mexican National Trios Championship]] three times. He's also won the [[CMLL World Middleweight Championship]], [[CMLL World Welterweight Championship]] once, the [[Mexican National Middleweight Championship]] three times, the [[NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship]] four times, and the [[NWA World Middleweight Championship]] five times in his career.
