Biography

Mr. Águila debuted on January 3, 1994. In 1997, at the age of 19, he was signed by the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) and was added to their Light Heavyweight division. He wrestled under a mask as Águila. In his first match in the WWF (WWE) he defeated Super Crazy in the first round of the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship tournament. On the the second round of the tournament he would loose to the future winner of the WWF Light Heavyweight Champion, Taka Michinoku. As month past he took on Taka Michinoku for the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XIV. He did not defeat Michinoku for the championship, but put on an impressive showing nonetheless.

Eventually, he returned mask-less as Papi Chulo, and made an appearance in ECW (while still contracted to WWE) at Cyberslam 1999 against Taka Michinoku. He once again failed to defeat Taka Michinoku, but was an impressive showing nonetheless. It must have impressed WWF management, because he was repackaged as Essa Rios and won the WWF World Light Heavyweight Championship in his "debut" match against Gillberg on February 8, 2000. He lost the championship to Dean Malenko on March 13, 2000 and feuded with the Hardy Boys (over Lita) and Chyna and Eddy Guerrero for the European title. He would eventually vs Eddy Guerrero at Backlash 2000 for the European belt, but failed to beat him. He was release in 2001, where their was a rumor that Águila refuse to learn how to speak English.
