 Astral competed in the 2009 CMLL Bodybuilding contest and won the Mini-Estrella's division coming in ahead of a number of competitors who were already working for CMLL.Days later, on November 28, Astral made his wrestling debut teaming up with Fantasy to defeat Pequeño Nitro and Pequeño Universo 2000 in a tag team match.While being classified as a "Mini-Estrella" Astral did not suffer from Dwarfism, but instead was merely shorter than the average wrestlers, something not uncommon in "Lucha libre".
