Never heard of him before.
Did he wrestle with other name?
He was a heel or a face?
During what time you think he visit the island?
Regards

People entered and left the island so frequently, especially during your father's tenure, that it would be very difficult to answer this question for certain unless someone had results from a specific card he wrestled on down there.
Your father worked extensively on the West Coast and Florida (he seemed to like the nice weather while working, haha). I'd say it's very probable he did a shot in Puerto Rico, maybe more than one....A lot of people, especially the gimmicks would run shots down there. Gorilla Monsoon would do a lot of the booking of the American talent as he owned a piece of Capitol Sports (WWC) until around 1982.

Your Father wrestled in Puerto Rico way back in 1969 as the fan favorite. Puerto Rico wrestling at that time way back in 1969 was part of Championship Wrestling From Florida with Cowboy Luttrall. They have Jack Brisco, Dale Lewis, Missouri Mauler, Thunderbolt Patterson and many others.

I hadn't even thought about the 60's....I only think of Capitol Sports beginning in the early 70's because before that there was no big league promotion that worked full time in Puerto Rico. But yes, he could have easily worked tours before CSP as well
