Professional wrestling career
El Gallito ("The Little Rooster") started his professional wrestling career as a mascota for El El Gallo ("The Rooster") in 2012. As a mascota, he portrayed a diminutive version of El Gallo, complete with the same rooster character as El Gallo. The rooster imagery was supported by his mask, complete with a fakeCockscomb on top of his head and fabric wattles dangling from his chin. As a mascota he would accompany El Gallo to the ring, designed mainly to appeal to kids and help El Gallo portray a tecnico character (called a face, the protagonists in professional wrestling).
In early 2017 CMLL recruited El Gallito, and his fellow mascotas Mije and fellow Zacarias el Perico to help establish a Micro-Estrellas ("Micro-Stars") division, featuring only wrestlers with dwarfism. The first match of the Micro-Estrellas division took place on April 30, 2017 and saw El Gallito and Microman defeat Mije and Zacarias in a special featured match. Gallito and the Micro-Estrellas would appear on various CMLL shows, as well as make special appearances on the Mexican independent circuit, such as The Crash Lucha Libre, Promociones El Cholo, or Desastre Total Ultraviolento.

Gallito, Mije, Angelito, and Chamuel took on Microman, Atomo, Guapito, and Zacarias . In the end Microman pinned Chamuel to win the tournament while Gallito was the fouth man eliminated from the match. For the 2018 Día de Muertos ("Day of the Dead") supercard show Gallito, Microman, and Atomo defeated Mije, Chamuel and Zacarias two falls to one. four weeks later the Micro-Estrellas also appeared at CMLL's Leyendas Mexicanas ("Mexican Legends") show where Gallito, Microman, and Guapito defeaated Mije, Chamuel and Zacarias in the second match of the night.
