Espanto Jr. is the most recognizable ring name of Jesús Andrade Salas (born May 11, 1956), a retired Mexican luchador, or professional wrestler.
Andrade was forced to retire from wrestling after suffering a life-threatening injury during a match that briefly left him clinically dead before being revived in the middle of the ring.
Jesús' younger brother, Juan Andrade Salas, has worked under a variety of ring names, including "Kevin", "Radioactivo" and "El Pollo Asesino".
[3] Jesús' son is also a professional wrestler, working as the enmascarado (masked) character Espanto Jr., and since he has never been unmasked his full name has not been revealed.
[4] His nephew is former Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) headliner La Sombra, son of José Andrade.
[7] On April 14, 1992, Espanto Jr. defeated El Hijo del Santo to win the UWA World Welterweight Championship, but only held it for 41 days before losing it to Celestial.
[8] He would subsequently work for World Wrestling Association (WWA) as the UWA began attracting fewer spectators and eventually going out of business.
[12] One week late at Triplemania III-A Octagón teamed up with El Hijo del Santo, Rey Misterio Jr. and La Parka to defeat Pentagón, Blue Panther, Psicosis and Fuerza Guerrera.
