[1][3] Stukita was trained for a professional wrestling career at a very young age after having grown up in the business watching his father, grandfather and uncles all perform in the ring.
[1] He worked on the Mexican Independent circuit around his native Torreón, Coahuila and primarily in the Mini-Estrella division against other wrestlers of short stature or actual little people as is the tradition in Lucha Libre.
As Stukita he began a storyline feud with fellow Mini-Estrella Indio Loco, that escalated to the point that their issues had to be settled in a Luchas de Apuestas, or bet match where Stukita put his mask on the line and Indio Loco put his hair on the line.
[1] On August 11, 2012 he was one of 56 competitors in the second annual "Amigo de Siempre" ("Friend forever") Battle Royal, but did not win, instead the victory went to Axxel.
[8] At the time no in-ring debut date was given for the two, but current CMLL Mini-Estrellas were expressing a hope that they would join soon to bolster their division.
