Octagón formed a tag team with El Hijo Del Santo to take on Los Gringos Locos (Eddie Guerrero and Art Barr) in a double mask versus hair match on the first pay-per-view put on by a Mexican wrestling promotion to air in the United States.

[3] He was not very successful as La Amenaza Elegante, although he did manage to obtain a contract with Mexico's largest, and the world's oldest, wrestling promotion, Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).

[5] His popularity was reflected in CMLL's decision to give him a run with the Mexican National Middleweight Championship, defeating Emilio Charles, Jr. for the title on November 20, 1991.

In AAA, Octagón was quickly paired up with El Hijo del Santo to form what would become the top Face (good guy, referred to as "Técnico" in Lucha Libre) tag team of the promotion.

[4] The duo teamed with veteran Villano III at the inaugural Triplemania event to defeat Fuerza Guerrera, Heavy Metal and Rambo.

[9] The storyline was soon expanded to see Octagón and El Hijo del Santo working with other Gringos Locos members such as Black Cat.

On April 26, 1994, Octagón and Hijo del Santo teamed with Perro Aguayo to defeat Guerrero, Love Machine and Black Cat at Triplemania II-A.

[6] Just over two weeks later, Octagón and El Hjio del Santo were chosen to team with Jushin Thunder Liger and Tiger Mask III, two Japanese wrestlers making a special appearance in Mexico.

The four-man team won their match at Triplemania II-B against La Parka, Psicosis, Blue Panther, and Eddy Guerrero.

[6][12] It is not clear if AAA chose to handle the title change in this way because Octagón was legitimately injured, or if it was indeed part of the storyline.

What is known is that Octagón was healthy enough to step into the ring on July 23, 1994, and lose the Tag Team titles to Guerrero and Love Machine.

The match was mapped out so that the title change was not clean, Los Gringos Locos cheated to win the belts adding to the "heat" (the intensity of which the fans watched the storyline).

Originally it was planned to be the mask of El Hijo del Santo and the hair of Eddy Guerreo on the line in a singles match, with Octagón and Love Machine acting as seconds outside the ring.

The two teams produced a well received, highly regarded match that ended when El Hijo del Santo pinned Eddy Guerrero for the final fall.

Their first encounter came at Triplemania III-A, the first of AAA's major shows of 1995, when Octagon teamed with Konnan, Perro Aguayo and La Parka to defeat Cien Caras, Mascara Año 2000, Pentagon and Jerry Estrada although without Octagón being the one that won the match over Pentagón.

[15] One week later at Triplemania III-B Octagón reunited with El Hijo del Santo, who along with Rey Misterio, Jr. and La Parka defeated Pentagón, Blue Panther, Psicosis, and Fuerza Guerrera.

In early 1997, Octagón began his third reign as Mexican National Middleweight champion, given to him so that Pentagón II could be seen a few months later cheating his way to winning the title from him, increasing the storyline tension between the two.

[1] The unmasking more or less put an end to the storyline between the two characters, with one final match between the two in 2004 where Octagón won the right to shave Pentagón III's hair off as well.

[25] On October 7, at Héroes Inmortales, Octagón made peace with La Parka, officially ending his rudo turn.
