One of the earlier high flyers of Lucha Libre, Lizmark signed with EMLL in 1978, and he would become a singles star there winning multiple titles. He became the second wrestler (Gory Guerrero being the first) to hold all three NWA World Titles in the different weight classes (Welterweight, Middleweight and Light Heavyweight). Like many wrestlers, Lizmark would jump to Antonio Pena’s AAA promotion where he would win the Light Heavyweight Title and feud with La Parka and put him on the map. Lizmark’s son would wrestle in WCW as Lizmark Jr.
