The year after, the New York native found new allies in <strong>Jeff Parker<\/strong> and <strong>Matt Lee<\/strong>, collectively known as <strong>2point0<\/strong>. This resulted in an offbeat dynamic, with 2point0 referring to Garcia as their &#8220;son.&#8221; Since signing with AEW, Garcia wrestled numerous high-profile matches against such names as <strong>Eddie Kingston<\/strong> and <strong>CM Punk<\/strong>. Wrestling fans quickly took to &#8220;Red Death,&#8221; praising his technical wrestling ability and submission prowess alike.<\/p>\n<p>Garcia entered the professional wrestling scene in 2017. He trained at the <strong><em>Grapplers Anonymous<\/em><\/strong> facility, located just outside the Buffalo, NY area. In the years that followed, he wrestled matches across a number of notable independent promotions. Such names include, but aren&#8217;t limited to, <strong>Empire State Wrestling<\/strong>, <strong>Beyond Wrestling<\/strong>, and <strong>Limitless Wrestling<\/strong>. He won a handful of singles titles during his time on the indies. These include the Limitless World Championship, which he won from <strong>Christian Casanova<\/strong>, who <strong>NXT<\/strong> fans will know better as <strong>Carmelo Hayes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
