[1] Rodríguez started working for WWE by the end of 1998 as the host of Los Super Astros and appeared only occasionally at that time, filling in for Cabrera or former color commentator Hugo Savinovich.
Rodríguez hosted WWE Experience for Latin America introducing clips and recaps from the previous week's episodes of Raw, SmackDown and NXT, until its cancellation in 2021.
In 2006, Rodríguez also became the winner of the Nuestras Voces National Playwriting Competition with his play “Cartas a una Madre” (originally “Bestalia”) which was produced with a great success at Repertorio Español, company that he also belongs as a current cast member.
Also in 2017, after many years without recording another full album, Marcelo Rodriguez launched his fourth musical project: "Verde", whose profits are used for the Yolanda Laprea Foundation and its activities in aid of the elderly.
