Piratita Morgan

Payasito Rojo Rojo (1994-1995) In 1994 Peña, based on the success of a trio of clown characters known as Los Payasos, decided to create a Mini-Estrella version of the trio, Los Payasitos. Rodríguez became the masked "Payasito Rojo" ("Little Red Clown"), while La Parkita became "Payasito Amarillo", and Fuercito Guerrera became "Payasito Azul". In their first match under the new character, Los Payasitos lost to Mascarita Sagrada, Octagoncito and Super Super Muñequito in two falls. The popularity of the Mini-Estrella division, led Peña to give them the main event of Triplemania III-A, AAA's biggest show of the year, marking the only time in AAA history that happened. The match saw 13 Mini-Estrellas compete in a Steel cage match where the last wrestler in the cage would be forced to unmask. After Bandita, Espectrito I, Espectrito II, Jerrito Estrada, Fuercita Guerrera, Mascarita Sagrada, Mini Calo, Octagoncito, La Parkita, Payasito Azul and Torerito all left the cage it was down to Super Muñequito and Payasito Rojo in the cage, with Super Muñequito winning the mask, forcing Payasito to unmask and reveal that it was Raymundo Rodríguez under the mask. Rodríguez only worked one more match under the Payasito Rojo name, a loss on August 7, 1995.

Battalion (1997-1999) In 1997 the U.S. based World Wrestling Federation (WWF) struck up a working agreement with AAA to bring in some of the luchadors to work on various WWF shows while the WWF would on occasion send some of their workers to Mexico to work for AAA. In late 1997 the WWF introduced the Mini-Estrellas from Mexico, but since most of the minis used ring characters based on regular sized competitors that the US audience did not know. Most of the wrestlers were given new ring characters and masks. Rodríguez was given the ring name "Battalion", a soldier character complete with camouflage tights and a soldier's helmet to wear during his entrance. His first match as Battalion took place on November 10, 1997, at a Shotgun Saturday Night show where he lost to Max Mini (Tuzki under a new mask and name). Battalion, El Torito and Tarantula lost to Max Mini, Mosaic and Nova in the second match of WWF's 1998 Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Rodríguez worked for the WWF throughout 1998 and 1999, including several matches on WWF Super Astros against Max Mini and Nova.

Piratita Morgan (2000-2018) After his stint in the WWF ended, Rodríguez returned to Mexico to work on the independent circuit, once again competing as Piratita Morgan. Records are unclear on how Piratita Morgan became the holder of the WWA World Minis Championship, the first records of his reign was on May 4, 2000, when he defended the championship against Octagoncito on an International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) show. In late 2000 he reprised his "clown" character, working as the masked "Coquito Rojo" leading up to a Lucha de Apuestas mask loss to Mascarita Sagrada on December 21, 2000. In 2005 WWE (formerly WWF) introduced a "Juniors division", which was composed of various Mexican Mini-Estrellas. Rodríguez was one of the workers hired by WWE, but unlike most of the Junior competitors he never wrestled for the company, only appearing in backstage segments. On February 8, 2009, Piratita Morgan lost the WWA World Minis Championship to Octagoncito.

Death Rodríguez was admitted to hospital on July 6, 2018, after deteriorating health. He died two days later on July 8.
