Notes
Before becoming a professional wrestler he practiced amateur wrestling. He won a National Sub-Championship in olympic wrestling in 1964.
He made his wrestling debut as Angel Blanco in November 1969 against Black Terror. However, he was inactive as a wrestler for a while and during that time, a new Angel Blanco appeared on the scene to great popularity. After he learned that there was a new Angel Blanco, he decided to change his name to Demonio Blanco since they were often on the same shows together.
He supposedly did well in smaller arenas, which lead to him getting matches in bigger arena's like Arena Coliseo and Arena Mexico. On June 30th, 1964, he teamed with Pantera Azul to capture the hairs of Martín Escobedo and Jose Escobedo, who later became América Salvaje. On July 16th, 1976, he captured the hair of El Nazi at Arena Mexico.
He had a fierce rivalry with Mano Negra, which resulted in a hair vs mask match, which Demonio lost. After the loss, he had tours in California, Texas and Japan. In 1978, Demonio was offered the gimmick of Robot C3, which was based on C3P0 of Star Wars fame. He proposed that Mario Alcala become his partner as Robot R2. They debuted the gimmick in non-Mexican countries, but when they wanted to come to Mexico, the Mexican Wrestling Comission denied it due to Demonio getting unmasked only a short time before. Instead, the Star Wars themed gimmicks went to Barba Negra and El Rebelde respectively.
He founded his own gymnasium Gimnasio Demonio Blanco and Arena Demonio Blanco in Puerto Vallarta. He also took over a new gimmick in Fantomas. That gimmick was heavily based on the comic book character with the difference that the character was a magician. And true to the name, he often performed magic tricks in the ring. He continued his wrestling career until 1992 when he retired.
