Personal History[]
Marco Duarte was born to unknown parents on August 5, 1950 in San Salvador, El Salvador. He grew up in an orphanage in the slums of the capital city. He fought his way through childhood until he received a chance to make some money doing some fights with the El Salvador office of the National Wrestling Alliance at the age of fifteen.
He won the El Salvador National Heavyweight Title for the first time when he was 18. He was quickly beaten for the title again. He held the title for the ninth time when he came to the MVW. He moved from San Salvador to Tupelo in order to better his wrestling career. He wanted his rightful shot at Harley Race for the NWA World Heavyweight Title. In El Salvador, he was always overlooked. He finally received his shot on October 26, 1982 against Ric Flair in San Salvador. He wrestled in the MVW and World Wrestling Council at the same time. However, due to his strong Catholic beliefs, Marco also refuses to wrestle on Sundays.
Marco made quick friends with Wesley Fierros once he moved to Tupelo. Wesley helped him gain his American citizenship in 1994. After retiring from the ring in 2000, Marco wandered around for a while. He eventually moved to Arizona in 2008 where he has fought for the rights of illegal immigrants and for equal rights for all Hispanics in general in this troubled border state.
