Huracán Ramírez

His mother's family had a long history in Amateur wrestling and a large number of people from Tepito became well known boxers or martial artists.

[1][2][3] García's family finally allowed him to become a professional wrestler after having trained for it for years, letting him follow in the footsteps of his older brothers.

The older Rodríguez picked García due to his high flying skills, while his son wanted to go with Marco Carta.

[1][3] He was formally introduced as "Huracán Ramírez" in 1953, working a match in Mexico City against one of the top rudos of the time, El Medico Asesino.

Following his loss, Espanto III removed his mask and revealed that his real name was Luis Miguel Vázquez Bernat.

García would win two additional championships, although documentation is unclear on which, but he was promoted as a "Four belt Champion" during one of his many international tours, a claim that was legitimate.

[1][2][3][5] Over the years he participated and won a number of Luchas de Apuestas matches, winning the mask of wrestlers Halcón de Oro, Moloch, Halcón Dorado, Scorpio, La Tarántula, Blue Angelo, Cadaver II, La Sombra and Los Hermanos Muerte (I and II).

[1][2][3][5] He also won the hair of several unmasked wrestlers, defeating Carnicero Grimaldo, Delfin, Espectro I and El Greco in Luchas de Apuestas matches.

[1][2][3][5] In 1969, he worked a tour of Bolivia free of charge, drawing crowds to a series of shows benefiting the victims of a September 26, 1969 plane crash that killed all 74 passengers and crew, including an entire team from Bolivian first division soccer club, The Strongest.

Over the years Huracán Ramírez regularly teamed with El Santo, as well as with Rayo de Jalisco for trios matches.

The rights to the name was at the time owned by Jose Rodriguez Mas, son of the producer of the original Huracán Ramírez movie.

[1][3][11] When the comic book became a big success, García approached Rodriguez Mas for a share of the profits, but his request was denied.

The move did not convince Rodriguez Mas to share the profits with García, in fact he stated that he wanted a younger wrestler to take over the "Huracán Ramírez" character.

[1][3] The decades of in-ring wrestling took their toll on García; he had several back surgeries after his retirement, he suffered from four herniated discs and a narrowing of the lumbar channel.
