Raymundo Rodríguez

About Raymundo Rodríguez

was a Mexican luchador or professional wrestler best known under the ring name Piratita Morgan. He also worked as an enmascarado, or masked wrestler, under the names Battalion, Payasito Rojo and Coquito Rojo. Rodríguez was one of the first wrestlers to compete in the Mini-Estrella ("Mini Star) division in Mexico, a division for both dwarf wrestlers and wrestlers of short stature, often portraying a smaller version of a regular-sized wrestler. Rodríguez performed as a shorter version of Pirata Morgan from the beginning of his career to his death. Rodríguez's brother is also a Mini-Estrella, known under the ring name Espantito. He is not related to the wrestler known as Piratita Morgan Jr. For the majority of his career, Rodríguez worked as a rudo, or heel, portraying one of the bad guys in the ring. He had a long-running rivalry with Mascarita Sagrada in which the two competed in several Luchas de Apuestas ("bet matches") throughout the years, each ending with a loss for Rodríguez. As a result, he had to have his hair shaved off. His most high-profile match was the main event of Triplemanía III-A, the first and only time that the Mini-Estrellas were given the main event spot at a Triplemanía show. Throughout his career Rodríguez worked for every major wrestling promotion in Mexico, in addition to working for the World Wrestling Federation and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in the US, as well as for promotions in Japan and Puerto Rico. Death Rodríguez was admitted to hospital on July 6, 2018 after deteriorating health.[25][26] He died two days later on July 8
