PUMA is one of the most underrated and under appreciated wrestlers in So-Cal, even though he has scored victories over such wrestlers as Ricky Reyes, Zokre, Phoenix Star, Charles Mercury, Black Tigers, Tony Kozina, Chad Collyer, UK Kid, Josh Prohibition and even APW's own Bobby Quance. Not many remember but back in April PUMA actually won New Japan USA's American Young Lion's Tournament, by scoring victories over Tommy Williams, Eric Matlock, and a man who took JJ Perez to the limit at APW's May Mayhem in King City, Chad Wicks.
