On NovemHijo del Diablo defeated Hijo del Santo to win the WWA World Welterweight Championship. In late 2000 El Hijo del Diablo began a storyline feud against a character that was portrayed as the complete opposite, El Hijo del Santo, in a feud that pitted "The Son of the Devil" against the "Son of the Saint". Following his AAA departure El Hijo del Diablo worked for over a year for Promo Azteca, a promotion that had split off from AAA previously, but the promotion went out of business before 2000.

In 1996 Black Terry had started working as "El Hijo del Diablo", on the Mexican independent circuit, but stopped using the mask and name after Juan Gonzales resumed the role. Gonzales, as Super Amigo, would work off and on for AAA over the next year in low card matches.Įl Hijo del Diablo (1996–present) His team won when Super Amigo pinned Escarlata in the third and deciding fall. Super Amigo teamed up with El Depredador and El Puma to defeat the Exotico team of May Flowers, Pimpinela Escarlata and Rudy Reyna as part of AAA's Triplemanía II-C show. In 1994 Juan Gonzales was given a new ring character by owner Antonio Peña, Peña had decided to replace the dark rudo character with "Super Amigo", a kid-friendly clown like masked character for Gonzales. When the promotion collapsed Gonzales joined the recently formed Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) wrestling promotion instead, continuing to work as El Hijo del Diablo. The trio unsuccessfully challenged Los Villanos ( Villano I, Villano IV and Villano V) for the UWA World Trios Championship in early 1992 but was disbanded soon after. In the UWA he was teamed up with Lobo Rubio and Shu El Guerrero as the UWA tried to replace the Los Temerarios after Black Terry and Jose Luis Feliciano both had left the promotion. In the early 1990s Hijo del Diablo worked for the Universal Wrestling Association (UWA), although he worked for the UWA when its popularity was falling.

In Mexico masked wrestlers keep their true identity secret from the general audience, which meant that for decades it was not revealed it was Gonzales under the Águila Venezolana mask, not was it common knowledge that it was the same wrestler portraying both characters.

It has not been documented exactly when Juan Gonzales changed from his Águila Venezolana to adopt the more sinister, rudo (wrestlers who portray the bad guys) character El Hijo del Diablo (Spanish for "The Son of the Devil").

As he gained more experience he ventured outside Morelos and began wrestling all over Mexico. Initially he worked primarily around his native Cuernavaca, Morelos as the enmascarado, or masked wrestling character Águila Venezolana ( Spanish for " Venezuelan Eagle").
