Professional wrestling career
WWWF, Japan and Early career (1975–1983) Migrated to New York in 1959. Served a tour of duty with the United States Army in the Vietnam War. Estrada made his professional wrestling debut in 1975 in his native Puerto Rico working for the local World Wrestling Council (WWC) promotion. In WWC he was given the masked ring character Super Médico I ("Super Medic 1"), teaming with Super Médico II to form Los Super Médicos, sometimes also referred to simply as Los Médicos, often wrestling clad in all white. On December 25, 1976, the team defeated Hercules Ayala and Victor Jovica to win the WWC North American Tag Team Championship. This match would make the only time Los Conquistadors would wrestle on a WWF pay per view (PPV) show. By 1989, Estrada worked in singles matches, both as "Conquistador Dos" and under his real name. He left the WWF in 1990. Return to Puerto Rico (1989–1991) Estrada returned to Puerto Rico once his WWF stint ended in the spring of 1989, once again working as Super Médico I. On May 28, 1989, he defeated Jonathan Holiday to win the WWC World Junior Heavyweight Championship for the first time. He would later lose the title to, and regain it from Chicky Star before losing it for good to Eddie Watts. As part of the feud with Chicky Starr, Starr managed to unmask Super Medico, who had to get under the ring to avoid the fans seeing his face. The following week, however, Starr tried the same trick again and actually took off Super Medico's mask, but this time Super Medico had painted his face white and caught Starr by surprise and pinned him, regaining the title (WWC TV show). In 1990, Estrada teamed up with a new Super Médico III, with his son José Estrada Jr. wearing the mask. The two defeated Los Mercenarios (Cuban Assassin and Jerry Morrow) March 31, 1990 to win the WWC World Tag Team Championship, Senior's fifth and Junior's first title reign. They lost the titles to Lance Idol and Rick Valentine but quickly regained them. In September the titles were held up after a brutal match against another masked tag team known as the Texas Hangmen (Killer and Psycho), but Los Super Médico won them back after another brutal match between the two teams on September 22, 1990, only to lose them to the Texas Hangmen a week later. On November 10 that same year Los Super Médicos defeated Eric Embry and Rick Valentine to win the WWC Caribbean Tag Team Championship for the first time. In December, they lost the titles back to Embry and Valentine, but regained them in January. The reign ended only days later when Valentine and Gran Mendoza defeated them for the championship. Retirement Estrada would retire by 1993, worked as a professional wrestling trainer in Humacao, Puerto Rico and makes special appearances at times. He worked with WWC in 2007 as a wrestling manager. ==Championships and accomplishments==
