Showdown with El Santo

Despite his popularity among the common people, Don Gato did not attain the public acclaim comparable to El Santo, who starred in numerous luchador films to enhance his fame. There was much speculation about an epic showdown between Don Gato and El Santo, but it never materialized.

Retirement and Current Life
Disappointment struck millions of fans when Don Gato retired from professional wrestling on May 29, 1999.

After the death of his long-time mentor, Don Gato lost his taste for the fight, but not for tequila. Once he avenged El General’s death, Don Gato sold his car and invested the money into what some would call a "pyramid scheme," allowing him to generate a good amount of income.

With his newfound wealth, Don Gato ventured to Las Vegas. He put half of it on a game and lost. It was a tough blow. The only comfort for Don Gato was the complimentary drinks. Don Gato ordered tequila, the agave-rich nectar of his homeland. Within moments of ingesting it, Don Gato felt strength once again. He felt the power.
