As Atlantico Cancio worked for various Mexican professional wrestling promotions including Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL).
[3] The bronco gimmick only lasted a year or two before Cancio changed to the ring persona that he would be most known as, El Torero, the bullfighter, unmasked and dressed like a matador complete with cape and elaborate jacket prepared by the Mexican designer Sandra Yunuem Angulo Vázquez.
[7] El Torero decided to leave AAA while still holding the Welterweight champion and was allowed to keep the title by the Mexico City Boxing and Wrestling commission who sanctions the "Mexican National" championships.
On February 2, 2005 El Teorero, his protégé Oscar Sevilla, Rata II and Esquizofrenía all competed in a match where only the last surviving wrestler would be allowed to continue wrestling, the other three would be forced to retire.
Rata II and Esquizofrenía were eliminated early on before Oscar Sevilla pinned El Torero, forcing him to retire due to the pre-match stipulation.
