[10.0] "Solitario is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time in the history of lucha libre. If you ask me, he was as good as el Santo or Blue Demon, but without the huge cultural impact the others had at the time."
[9.0] "One of the biggest stars ever in Mexico, period. Immensely charismatic and with an inspiring real-life story, he may not have been one of the top workers (albeit he was really good in the ring before suffering a string of serious injuries which seriously slowed him down) but I'll be damned if he hadn't a truly special aura about him. Brought into the ultra-popular heel stable La Ola Blanca to replace El Enfermero, who could not keep up the insane schedule anymore due to tear and wear on his body, Soli became a mega-babyface when Dr Wagner and Angel Blanco turned on him, starting a slow burn and big money feud which ended with El Galeno del Mal finally losing his mask. In my opinion this is probably the best long term feud and storyline of lucha libre and one of the best ever: both men were so hugely charismatic and played their parts so well you just know you were watching something special. Died relatively young on the operating table after suffering yet another serious injury, thus further adding to his mystique. Undoubtedly one of the biggest ever in Mexico after the two flesh-and-blood legends El Santo and Blue Demon."

In 1972, El Solitario unmasked his arch-rival, the Angel Blanco, who turned out to be Jose Angel Sanchez Vargas. Solitaire was one of the first stars to leave the EMLL to join the Universal Wrestling Association (UWA), which was directed by Francisco Flores. In March 1977 the Lone conquers version UWA Heavyweight World title by beating veteran Ray Mendoza in October 1978 who exacts revenge and regains its title. In July 1981 Lonesome USAmericans defeats Eric Embry to take over the heavyweight world title Jr. UWA. But in the rematch in March 1981 gives the title to the US. In September of that same Solitario year returns to dethrone Embry to become biampeon however, he ends his reign after losing to the sign in June 1983. Solitario also traveled to Japan in 1972, 1979 and 1981, where he would face and form a team with renowned stars such as Tiger Mask and Tatsumi Fujinami along with other Mexican fighters such as Chavo Guerrero and Canek. In the 80s, he formed a team of short duration with Hannibal and trios Villano III, the group was known as The Three Caballeros. In 1982 he participated in the final fight of the race of El Santo, when he joined legends of El Santo, Gory Guerrero and Huracan Ramirez to defeat the Sign, Black Navarro, the Texan and Perro Aguayo. Perhaps his most important meeting was held on December 1, 1985, when he defeated and unmasked Dr. Wagner in a mask vs mask match"
