Jerry Estrada

He was in the main event of AAA's Triplemanía II-A show, losing a Lucha de Apuestas, or bet match, to Heavy Metal and was forced to have all his hair shaved off as a result.

[2] It was not long after making his in-ring debut that Jerry Estrada began working regularly for Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL), the world's oldest and one of Mexico's largest wrestling promotions.

Estrada was slated to wrestle at the EMLL 52nd Anniversary Show on September 20, but it was canceled due to the Mexico City earthquake the day before.

For his stint with Los Bucaneros, Estrada had his hair cut short and began wrestling wearing a faux eyepatch as part of the Pirate image.

[8] Their reign ended when Los Destructores ("The Destroyers"; Tony Arce, Emilio Charles Jr., and Vulcano) were chosen by EMLL to become the next champions, taking the titles on January 31, 1988.

While he was a smaller version of Jerry Estrada, EMLL's conservative booking style kept the regular-sized wrestlers and the Mini-Estrellas from appearing or wrestling together.

[10] In early 1992, then-CMLL booker Antonio Peña decided to leave the conservative CMLL to create his own wrestling promotion, Asistencia Asesoría y Administración, later known as "AAA".

[2] The storyline between the two became the background for the main event of AAA's Triplemanía II-A, where Heavy Metal and Estrada faced off in a Lucha de Apuesta, or bet match.

Afterward, Heavy Metal got very emotional about the loss, the prospect of having his hair shaved off and his future in AAA, and started to cry and beg for the result to be nullified.

[2] Later that year Estrada represented AAA on the When Worlds Collide show, a joint AAA/World Championship Wrestling (WCW) pay-per-view where he paired with La Parka and Blue Panther, losing to the team of The Pegasus Kid, 2 Cold Scorpio, and Tito Santana.

Estrada made his only WWF appearance when he worked a match at the 1997 Royal Rumble where he teamed up with Fuerza Guerrera and former rival Heavy Metal, losing to Héctor Garza, Perro Aguayo, and El Canek.

[22] During this time he also worked several tours for the Puerto Rico-based World Wrestling Council (WWC) where he was part of a group called La Invasión Azteca ("The Aztec Invasion") that also included Pierroth, Rico Suave and Villano III.

[23] After 221 days as the Junior Heavyweight Champion Estrada lost the title to El Rockero, ending his time with WWC shortly afterward.

Over the years Estrada had become known for a move known as Salida de Bandera ("the Exit Sign") where he would be thrown over the top rope with great height and crash to the floor.

While professional wrestling is a staged event and his opponents would do their best to protect Estrada the years of hitting the floor took a toll on his body and he was forced to retire.

[32] By 2018 Estrada's health and mobility had improved to the point that he competed in a total of five matches that year,[33] including his first match in Arena Mexico for 26 years as he teamed up with veteran wrestlers Negro Casas and Fuerza Guerrera as the trio lost to El Felino, Mano Negra and El Solar on the Máscara Año 2000 40th Anniversary Show.
