Al Perez

World Wrestling Federation (1989–1990) Al Perez signed with the World Wrestling Federation and made his debut on October 2, 1989, with a win over George South in a dark match at a WWF Superstars of Wrestling taping in Wheeling, West Virginia. Perez was undefeated the first month, wrestling primarily on C shows against Barry Horowitz and The Brooklyn Brawler. His first loss would come against Boris Zukhov on November 17, 1989, in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Perez would then continue to wrestle primarily on the undercard, although in one WWF Prime Time Wrestling show host Gorilla Monsoon made mention of a possible tag-team pairing of Perez and Santana. Perez was primarily seen on house shows and Prime Time Wrestling. Despite sustaining losses to the likes of Hercules and Tito Santana, Perez had many wins over wrestlers such as Paul Roma, Jim Powers, Red Rooster, Koko B. Ware, "Bullet" Bob Bradley, Paul Diamond/Kato, Jim Brunzell, and others. His last WWF match was a win over Jim Powers on July 23, 1990, in West Palm Beach, Florida.

World Championship Wrestling (1990)

On September 5, 1990, Perez competed as The Black Scorpion, wrestling Sting in a losing effort at Clash of the Champions XII. According to Ric Flair, Perez was always meant to be The Black Scorpion, but quit after finding out he was going to lose. Perez disputes this claiming he was booked to be the Black Scorpion only one time. Perez notes he lost to Sting in the match and stated he was not asked to continue long term as the character. Perez would wrestle one more match as The Scorpion at a house show in Chicago, Illinois on September 30.

Global Wrestling Federation (1991) Perez reached the finals of a tournament to crown the first GWF North American Heavyweight Champion before losing to The Patriot at the promotion's debut show on 10 August 1991 in Dallas, Texas. However, because Perez's feet were under the ropes when he was pinned, the Patriot, as a matter of conscience (kayfabe) refused the victory and vacated the title, defeating Perez cleanly in a rematch on 23 August 1991. Perez was (kayfabe) so impressed with his opponent's integrity and sportsmanship that he changed his ways and became a babyface once again.

All Japan Wrestling (1991, 1993, 1994) Perez traveled to All Japan Wrestling and teamed with Dory Funk Jr. against Dan Kroffat and Doug Furnas on December 6, 1991. He would wrestle in tag-team matches for All Japan again in 1993 and 1994.

Late career (1991–2002) During the 1990s, Perez competed in several independent promotions around the United States, including a return to Liberty All-Star Wrestling (LAW) in 2001, where he beat Jimmy Jannetty for the LAW Heavyweight title before retiring from the business in 2002.
