Born Miguel Angel
Delgado in Juarez in 1947, El Cobarde
was a well-known and hated villain throughout Mexico in the 1970s. His black and
white checkered tights with matching mask became almost as recognizable as the
characteristic blue hood of Blue Demon or the silver face shield of Santo. For
years, he engaged in brutal feuds with Sangre Chicana, Herodes, Carlos
Plata, Dragon Rojo and Fishman, to whom
he lost his mask. Afterward, Cobarde continued to wrestle with his face
revealed, still maintaining the black & white tights, but changing his image to that of a fan favorite. As much as he
was originally hated, he grew to be loved
by the very same audience that formerly jeered
him.
Cobarde was far more active in mexico than in the USA, though he did make some appearances in Arizona, Texas and California.
