José Anibal Laureano Colón (born June 24, 1958) is a Puerto Rican professional wrestler and manager.

He is better known by his ring name, Chicky Starr.

He is best known for his work in the World Wrestling Council (WWC) and International Wrestling Association (IWA) of Puerto Rico.

Starr and Invader #1 feuded from the mid 1980s through the early 1990s.

They wrestled as heels from 1981-82 in Stampede.

Starr often wrestled as a mid-card wrestler and in the opening matches at house shows.

From 1984 to mid 1985, Starr performed in San Antonio's Southwest Championship Wrestling (SCW).

On September 9, 1984 he and Brett Sawyer won the SCW Southwest Tag Team Championship from The Fabulous Blonds (Eric Embry and Dan Greer) but dropped the belts back to The Fabulous Blonds on October 9.

Starr also won the SCW Southwest Junior Heavyweight Championship from Embry, but later lost it to Ron Sexton.

In late 1985, Starr appeared in Puerto Rico World Wrestling Council (WWC).

He became a villain when he accused his mentor El Invader #1 of holding him back.

Starr challenged Invader #1 to a match, during which he attacked his mentor with a steel chair.

Starr also became a manager and in early 1986, starting a faction initially known as El Club Deportivo (The Sports Club).

He recruited Victor Rodriguez as his bodyguard.

He also managed his kayfabe cousin Ron Starr.

In 1988, Starr defeated Rufus R. Jones to win the King of Wrestling crown.

Starr merged Starr Corporation with Ray Gonzalez's Familia del Milenio in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

In the International Wrestling Association (IWA), the Starr Corporation was composed of Pain, Víctor "The Bodyguard" Rodriguez, Angel Rodriguez, AAA/TNA's "El Mesias" Ricky Banderas and Dutch Mantell.

They feuded with Savio Vega, Shane The Glamour Boy, Los Malcriaos (Miguel Perez, Jr. and Huracan Castillo, Jr.).

Starr and Victor "The Bodyguard" Rodriguez also wrestled as a tag team version of Starr Corporation and were IWA World Tag Team Champions.

This feud ended in 1991 when Starr left the WWC to start a new promotion called the American Wrestling Federation (AWF) with Hercules Ayala, former WWC announcer Hugo Savinovich and Gloria Uribe.

The feud with Invader #1 resumed in 1997 when Starr returned to WWC.

He teamed with Invader #2 who had turned against Invader #1 earlier that year.

Starr briefly made an alliance with Invader #1 that only lasted a couple of weeks before they started feuding again.

The same year, Starr created a new alliance called Starr Corporation with Victor "the Bodyguard" Rodriguez and Angel Rodriguez.

At Juicio Final 2001, Savio Vega (Juan Rivera) as his alternate character of Hombre Dinamita and Chicky Starr faced each other in a match known as the cage of death where the first to reach a set of handcuff keys could release their team to take on the other.

Vega’s team was composed by Shane Sewell, Apolo (Germán Figueroa), Jesús Castillo and Kane, while he was supported by the Starr Corporation.

In March 2001, Lucha Libre 101 tried to join the Starr Corporation, but Starr declined.

At Juicio Final 2001, Vega and Castillo won a Double Caribbean Strap Match over Starr and Rodríguez, a contest with traditional strap match rules but in which the adversaries were strapped to each other.

In his continued feud, Tiger Ali Singh was brought to take on Vega, but failed.

Later in the same event, Vega attacked Starr and Rodríguez, who lost the titles due to the interference.

The Starr Corporation exploited differences that were emerging between different members of Los Boricuas to gain the upper hand in the ongoing feud.

Resuming the feud between factions, Castillo and Pérez defeated Starr and Faraón Zaruxx.

Starr won the WWC Universal Championship when he defeated Carlito in San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico in early 2003.
