of Yuji Nagata, the team began to break up, with La Parka attacking Psychosis after the matches. He beat La Parka at Spring Stampede on April 19, 1998. In 1998, Psychosis joined Eddie Guerrero's Latino World Order (LWO) group, which consisted entirely of Mexican wrestlers. The group was disbanded by Ric Flair on the January 11 episode of Nitro. Cruiserweight Champion (1999–2000) During the April 19 episode of Nitro, Psychosis defeated Blitzkrieg, Juventud Guerrera, and Rey Mysterio in a four-way bout to win the WCW World Cruiserweight Championship for the first time. This reign was short-lived however, as he lost it to Rey Mysterio one week later. Psychosis originally lost his mask to Rey Misterio Sr. during a tour of Mexico, as he removed the mask and handed it to Mysterio Jr. while simultaneously covering his face with a towel. He also lost the mask to Billy Kidman on the September 27 episode of Nitro, revealing his face to the American audience. On occasion, he was also paired with Juventud Guerrera, and when the latter won the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title, Guerrera was kayfabe injured and had Psychosis defend the title. In reality, Guerrera and Jerry Flynn were arrested on DUI charges; Psychosis immediately lost the belt to previous champion Jushin Thunder Liger. Neither Juventud Guerrera's championship win nor Psicosis' title defense was recognized by New Japan Pro-Wrestling until 2007. Psychosis had a second Cruiserweight title reign in WCW shortly after unmasking, when the previous champion Lenny Lane, who portrayed a flamboyant homosexual on television, got WCW in trouble with GLAAD. As a result, Lane was pulled from television and Psychosis was given the belt to defend. The WCW announcers claimed that he had won it at a house show. However, on his first televised appearance with the title, Psychosis lost it to Disco Inferno. This earned him the dubious distinction of having lost two titles he never won. Independent circuit (2000–2005) Psychosis was officially released from financially suffering WCW in early 2000. This resulted in his brief return to Extreme Championship Wrestling that spanned from July to November 2000. The highlight of his second run was a match with Yoshihiro Tajiri at the ECW Arena, as well as an appearance at the Heat Wave pay-per-view, competing in a four-way dance against Yoshihiro Tajiri, Mikey Whipwreck, and Little Guido. Much like WCW, ECW was on the brink of demise and
