Origins
Águila Solitaria made his professional debut around 1976 after training under Hércules Flores and Tom Mix. After them there were groups in Arena Mexico in which he learned from Super Halcón, El Faraón, Gran Cochisse, and Águila India. Moreover when he was at El Toreo he was trained by Angel Blanco and Blue Demon.
The Solitary Eagle
He was looking for a ringname to remember and his fondness for birds inspired him to chose the ringname of Águila Solitaria (Solitary Eagle) adopting a winged mask. The mask designs were of his own. The early design was very detailed; it included the eagle's talons and feathers during his first years of career. One day he lent one of his masks to Atlantis because his mask was ripped off. Águila saw Atlantis wearing his mask from far and he noticed that many of his mask details such as the talons and feathers could not be seen from far and the mask shape did not looked like the one of a bird. Then he decided to modify his mask in a more simple way just leaving the wings and the eagle's head making his mask design recognizable from near and far. The winged black and silver mask that became his trademark.
EMLL
Probably the most promising rookie of the 80's. Broke out in 1981 by putting together a nice little record of victories in mask matches which put him on the map. Was an instant hit thanks to his ring entrance where he would bring an eagle with him to the ring and allow it to fly all over the arena before his matches. Obviously this led to some wacky situations where the eagle would refuse to return to his master or would actually attack various fans or his opponents. Popular enough for CMLL to create a mini, Aguilita Solitaria.
Injuries took a toll on his body and even though he refused to take part in the mass exodus of talent to AAA in the spring of 1992, CMLL never really gave him a shot and he was kept in his mid-card role until eventually fading away from the Lucha Libre scene in the mid-90's after making some quick appearances for AAA in the spring of 1997.
Currently he wrestles with his son Aguila Solitaria Jr. on the independent circuit.
