He was the uncle of El Hijo del Santo and the great uncle of Axel.^[3] Guzmán style was centered around the headscissors, pioneering several variations of the Headscissors takedown and one of the first Luchadors to work a fast paced, aerial style. Guzmán was the first Mexican National Light Heavyweight Champion, winning a tournament in 1943.^[4] Guzmán also competed for Texas based Southwest Sports, Inc. (Later World Class Championship Wrestling) for a number of years, including 8 reigns as the NWA Texas Heavyweight Champion and one run with the NWA Texas Tag Team Championship alongside Rito Romero.^[5]^[6]
