He won it for the last time in the 70's from Gorilla Monsoon and lost it to Dutch Mantel. He was three times Puerto Rican Champion during that decade.

He was North American Tag Team Champion seven times in the 70's. His tag team partners were Jose Miguel Perez (twice), Bob Ellis, Jose Rivera, Victor Jovica, Chief Thunder Cloud and Huracán Castillo. He also was Junior Heavyweight Champion when he defeated Dick Steinborn when Steinborn came to Puerto Rico with the belt.

Colón went to the 80's and become a legend. WWC become worker partner with the NWA and then NWA wrestlers came to Puerto Rico to wrestle. At least two NWA World Champions, Ric Flair and Harley Race, defended the NWA title in Puerto Rico several times with Flair defending the NWA title in Puerto Rico the most.

Colón met Flair on January 6, 1983 in a match that was billed as a unification match. As you all know, in a unification match the winner takes both titles. This match saw Colón winning cleanly with the figure four leglock. It was a wild brawl and Colón become double champion, WWC World Champion and NWA World Champion. This match wasn't acknowledged in the USA as the title switch was never mentioned in magazines or any kind of publication. But Colón, in fact, won it.

He also defeated Flair for the Universal Title on December 18, 1983 in a cage match. That match was billed to be for the WWC Universal Title and was a no DQ match where there had be a winner.

Colón also won several titles in the 80's. He was WWC World Champion twice and the belt was renamed the Universal Belt, having it eight times on the 80's. He was also Tag Team Champion twice (with Pedro Morales and Invader #1), North American Tag Team Champion three times (with Invader #1, Jose Rivera and Eric Froelich), Puerto Rican Champion three times in the 80's and won twice the TV Title.

Colón was a successful singles wrestler during the 80's, and he showed it as he feuded with most of the best names in the world. He feuded with Dory Funk, Terry Funk, Harley Race, Ric Flair, Stan Hansen, Bruiser Brody, Jason The Terrible, Hercules Ayala, Joe LeDuc, Fidel Sierra, Pampero Firpo, Tim Brooks, and many, many more.

In 1987, WWC was considered among the top promotions in the world. Plans were made for 1988 to do an Anniversary show, a PPV, for the United States. Unfortunately, this never came to happen as the murder of Bruiser Brody in Puerto Rico squashed any hopes of a WWC PPV.

In 1989 and following years, the promotion began to go into the shuffle. Fans became less interested in the promotion. But the promotion began to work with new talent and Colón remained on top of it, helping the promotion to survive. Colón used recognized names of the US, most past their prime, but they drew people. Dino Bravo, Dick Murdoch, Ron Garvin and Leo Burke were used as top challengers for Colón title.

Colón decided to end his career in 1993, doing his last match (by then) against Terry Funk. But he returned a year later when the promotion begun to decline, doing a return angle with Greg Valentine. Since returning back in 1994, we has won several times the Universal Title.

Colón has been injured several times in the late 90's. He was injured by El Nene in 1997 and by Ray Gonzalez twice in 1998 and 1999, having surgery on his shoulder and on the knee. The shoulder injury served as hook to make Abdullah The Butcher return to Puerto Rico and as a face working as Carlos’ partner several times. With all my respect and knowing all that he has done for wrestling in Puerto Rico, I believe Carlos must retire. He is in bad shape and it is better for him to retire than suffer any major injury during a match.

Carlos has two sons that are actually wrestling. They are Carlos Edwin Jr, known as Carly, and Edwin, known as Eddie. Carlos has won over 65 titles in his 35 year career. He has won titles over 4 decades, has wrestled in Canada, United States, Japan, Africa, Trinidad, Barbados, Curazao and elsewhere and surely is one of the greatest performers ever in the sport of the square circled and the twelve ropes.
