The following week, however, Starr tried the same trick again and actually took off Super Medico's mask, but this time Super Medico had painted his face white and caught Starr by surprise and pinned him, regaining the title (WWC TV show). In 1990 Estrada teamed up with a new Super Médico III, with his son José Estrada Jr. wearing the mask.
