battleship Bismarck
he had been fascinated with since childhood. Lizmark quickly became one of the innovators in lucha libre, incorporating flashy, high flying moves into the matches, a style that is common today but in the 1970s was new and exciting.
(EMLL) in 1978. On April 18, 1978 Lizmark defeated Américo Rocca
to win the Mexican National Welterweight Championship
. Over the following year Lizmark defended the title on several occasions, often in the most well received match of the night. His first title reign lasted 346 days, ending on March 29, 1980 when Rocca regained the title, but it was an indicator of things to come for Lizmark. In June 1980 Lizmark won the highest ranking Welterweight title in Mexico, the NWA World Welterweight Championship
when he defeated El Supremo
for the title. His run with the title lasted 506 days until he was defeated by La Fiera

to become the first AAA based Mexican National Light Heavyweight Champion
after Universo 2000 had brought the title with him when he jumped to AAA. In 1993 Lizmark began a long running feud with one of Antonio Peña's latest creations, La Parka
, a Rudo
character (villain) who wore a full-body suit that looks like a skeleton. The feud with Lizmark helped elevate La Parka up the ranks and through their matches and La Parka's charisma helped establish him as one of the first stars created in AAA. Their feud was one of the featured matches at the very first TripleMania
where Lizmark defended the Mexican title against La Parka in a match that originally saw La Parka cheat to win the third fall, only to have it overturned by the wrestling commission. The fourth fall between the two went to a draw that allowed Lizmark to retain his championship. Further fuel was added to the storyline between the two when Lizmark defeated La Parka to win the WWA World Light Heavyweight Championship on October 23, 1993. At TripleMania II-A
Lizmark teamed with his son, Lizmark, Jr. and Tinieblas Jr., losing to his old EMLL rival Satánico who teamed up with Espectro and Psicosis for the night. The Lizmark / La Parka feud was one of the driving forces behind an Eight-man "Atómicos" tag team match that saw Lizmark, Perro Aguayo
, El Hijo del Santo
, and Máscara Sagráda
defeat La Parka, Psicosis, Black Cat and Satánico. On June 20, 1994 La Parka regained the WWA Light Heavyweight title from Lizmark when he pinned him on a show in Monterrey
, Nuevo León
. Three months later La Parka won the Mexican National Light Heavyweight title from Lizmark on September 9, 1994 which marked the end of the storyline between the two.
(CMLL), starting off with a series of matches against Satánico, the natural foil to Lizmark. On September 18, 1996 Lizmark teamed up with Atlantis
to form a team called La Ola Azul ("The Blue Wave") to defeat Gran Markus, Jr.
and El Hijo del Gladiador
, known as La Ola Blanca ("The White Wave") to win the CMLL World Tag Team Championship
. The team only held the title for 12 days before the title was vacated following an inconclusive match against The Headhunters
. On April 29, 1997 Lizmark, Atlantis and Mr. Niebla
defeated Rey Bucanero
, Emilio Charles, Jr.
and Satánico to win the CMLL World Trios Championship
. The trio held the championship for 519 days until they were forced to vacate the belts due to Mr. Niebla suffering a serious injury.
In January 1999 Lizmark had chest pains that lead to heart problems, although he denied the heart attack rumors, which kept him out of the ring for a while. He was even told that he'd never wrestle again, but he returned to the ring after six months. It was clear though that he was not able to perform at the same level as previously. Following his heart problems Lizmark maintained a much lighter schedule, wrestling only select dates. In 2001, Lizmark was inducted into the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame
. In 2003 Lizmark returned to AAA to participate in TripleMania XI
where he teamed with the new version of his longtime rival La Parka
as well as Octagón

, Cibernético
and the Headhunters. He subsequently worked for CMLL between 2004 and 2008.
