If you look at his right hand it's missing two fingers. There's many stories on how he lost those fingers which adds to his mystique as it's rumored he was involved in some mafia level stuff and the loss of fingers was retaliation for a debt owed to the cartels. He had an amazing career even main eventing the [----] CMLL 47th Anniversary show vs Satanico in a hair vs hair match. My favorite story of Mocho"

"One of the most memorable moments on Crockett TV for sure. The Midnight Express are taking on Ronnie Garvin and Barry Windham. During the match Jim Cornette enters the ring and throws a fireball in Ronnie Garvin's face (rarely done at the time so it was very effective). When all the faces came out to check on Ronnie his brother Jimmy Garvin "broke character" (he was a bad guy at the time) came out to check on Ronnie and then after taking him to the back went into the heels locker room and attacked the Midnight Express"
