Jaque Mate

Professional wrestling career Jaime Álvarez began training for a professional wrestling career under Diablo Velazco in 1969 but did not make his debut until September 15, 1971, training for nearly three years under Velazco and El Enfermero. Álvarez adopted an enmascarado, masked, persona called Eskovirkan, a name created by combining the Zodiac signs of Scorpio, Virgo and Cancer (In Spanish: Escorpión, Virgo and Cáncer"). On March 25, 1993, Jaque Mate defeated Apolo Dantés to win the NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship. Three months later Jaque Mate and Octagón squared off in a Luchas de Apuestas match, which was the main event of the 1999 Guerra de Titanes. Jaque Mate lost to Octagón and was forced to unmask for the third time in his career. According to Álvarez he was paid "a substantial sum of money" to lose his mask to Octagón that night.
