Edmundo Ibaes made his professional wrestling debut in 1986, taking the ring name Fantasma de la Quebrada with permission from the original Fantasma de la Quebrada who was a good friend of Ibaes father.
[1] Ibaes worked on the Mexican independent circuit for many years until signing with Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) in the early 1990s.
in June 1992 he participated in the tournament to crown a new Mexican National Welterweight Champion but lost to Ciclón Ramírez in the final.
[2] One month later Ibaes defeated Ramírez to win the championship, holding it only for about a month before losing it to Rey Misterio, Jr.[2] Ibaes only appeared at one of AAA's major shows, teaming with Marabunta, and Aullido as they lost to Giro, Colorado and Torero at Triplemanía II-B.
A year later Ibaes finally lost his mask to Hijo del Solitario in a cage match that also included Black Fish, Dos Caras, Shu el Guerrero, Super Muñeco, Black Man, Jr., Astro de Oro, Hijo de Cien Caras and Máscara Ságrada.
