two worked regularly as a tag team in and around the Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico area under the names Los Espantos or Los Nuevo Espantos and would work for the Universal Wrestling Association (UWA) among others. The brothers later toured Japan, working for the Japanese Universal Wrestling Federation and Michinoku Pro. In Japan they unsuccessfully challenged the Great Sasuke and Gran Hamada for the UWA/UWF Intercontinental Tag Team Championship on April 19, 1993. They also appeared on the Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW) Fourth Anniversary Show, teaming up with Super Delfin, where they lost to the Great Sasuke, Kendo and Choden Senshi Battle Ranger.

By 2001 Espanto IV worked less and less, either retiring from wrestling or adopting a new masked identity that has not been revealed. On December 25, 2006, Espanto V was one of
