His fifteen-month winning streak is the longest in the history of the IWA, surpassing the previous record held by "The Cyber Viking" Al Barone, which was stopped at nine months.

Outside of performing, Angel is the only wrestler to be voted "Rookie of the Year" by the public after only a single official match in one of the major promotions in Puerto Rico.

In 2011, he was included in the top half of Pro Wrestling Illustrated's 500 Ranking list after only 13 individual contests and a tag team match in the IWA.

There he wrestled under the ring name "Angel", being booked in multiple victories over Phillip "Clemente" Cardona and Filipo at shows held in Santurce, Comerío, Moca and other subdivisions of the main island's metropolitan area.

After six months, both were brought in to a company known as New Wrestling Entertainment by Pedro Figueroa, joining several former CWE alumni to form a stable known as "La Realeza".

[2] The group, as well as all of its members, remained nameless during the following weeks, but Angel continued interfering in title matches, ambushing both the Intercontinental Champion and his challenger at Halloween Mayhem, an annual event held by the promotion.

In this event, Angel once again interrupted a match for the Intercontinental Championship and the IWA's president, Miguel Pérez, Jr., ordered that he would get a title opportunity in his in-ring debut.

[7] A storyline was run during the dead season, where Vega demanded the stipulation, noting that he had wins over wrestlers such as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Triple H and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

On June 11, 2011, Angel won the 6th José Miguel Pérez Sr. Cup in a battle royale, securing an opportunity for the IWA Undisputed Heavyweight Championship.

At Summer Attitude 2011, Angel defeated Hiram "Tua" Mulero to remain undefeated and win the IWA Undisputed World Heavyweight Championship.

The contest concluded in a staredown between Angel and Vega's student, Jonathan Ayala then known as "Diego de Jesús", who had won the IWA World Tag Team Championship in his debut weeks earlier.

At one point during the contest, the referee was unconscious and while Angel was distracted trying to awaken him, a second wrestler wearing the same mask intervened, picking the pinfall in Cotto's behalf.

[15] While Vega continued pursuing a feud with Carly Colón in WWC, the angle between The Academy and the Illegal Faction evolved to include the Extreme Wrestling Organization, by now the largest independent promotion and de facto third main contender in Puerto Rico.

His official IWA record in singles competition is 12 wins by pinfall, 0 losses and 3 no contests, with all of his opponents having held a title within the promotion at least once, including five former Undisputed or Universal World Heavyweight Champions.

Angel's first non-wrestling appearance took place on June 2, 2012, as part of a WWC card held in Ponce, where they issued an open challenge to anyone in the roster.

The following night, Angel defeated the incumbent WWC Universal Heavyweight Champion, Gilbert Cruz, by disqualification in a non-title bout that headlined Summer Madness' main show.

In May, El Super Fénix #2 attacked González after a successful defense of the Universal Heavyweight Championship over Gilbert, after which he willingly unmasked himself revealing that Angel's in the stipulation match had been staged to ward off suspicion.
