Ricky Marvin
Morales made his in-ring debut on May 3, 1993 under the ring name "Loco Max" ("Crazy Max"/"Mad Max") and worked on the Mexican independent circuit for a number of years. in the late 1990s Loco Max began working for CMLL, primarily on their Guadalajara, Jalisco shows. During the time he developed a storyline feud with Ricky Marvin, with the two fighting over the Mexican National Lightweight Championship, held by Marvin at the time. On March 12, 2001 Loco Max won his first wrestling championship as he pinned Ricky Marvin to win the championship. The quality of the matches and more importantly the fans reaction to the matches earned both Loco Max and Marvin a chance to work in Mexico City, CMLL's main venue.
