Dos Caras

Professional wrestling career Rodríguez made his debut on January 6, 1970, at the age of 18 after training under Rafael Salamanca and Gory Medina. Dos Caras was one of the young EMLL wrestlers who decided to follow Flores to the UWA, gaining the opportunity to work high up on the card. Dos Caras worked his way up the ranks and on June 20, 1978, he defeated Canek to win the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship, his first championship ever. Over the following 292 days Dos Caras defended the title several times, using it as a springboard up the rankings of the UWA. On April 8, 1979, Caras lost the belt to Astro Rey. He would also work for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) although he never won any championships in either promotion. Currently Dos Caras still wrestles, although on a reduced schedule, he mainly works for independent promotions, especially the UWE Legends shows. He has been vocal about not wanting to work for one of the "big two" promotions in Mexico (CMLL and AAA) as he did not feel either promotion treated a wrestler with his history and status with enough respect.

On October 7, 2010, Dos Caras made a special appearance at a WWE SmackDown live event in Mexico, where he was in his son Alberto Del Rio's corner in his match against Kofi Kingston.

On December 4, 2013, Caras, along with Mil Máscaras, returned to Japan to take part in a Tokyo Gurentai event in Tokyo's Korakuen Hall. In the main event, the two defeated Mazada and Nosawa Rongai to win the Tokyo World Tag Team Championship.

On July 2, 2017, he appeared at Impact Wrestling's Slammiversary XV in the corner of Alberto El Patron, as Alberto defeated Bobby Lashley to unify the Impact Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship and GFW Global Championship.

He has two nephews who wrestle under the names Sicodelico, Jr. and El Hijo del Sicodelico.
