As Pagano, he primarily works a Hardcore wrestling style, which often includes the use of weapons and one or both wrestlers in the match bleeding profusely.

In 2016 he rose to national and international attention with his feud with Psycho Clown, slated to be the main event of Triplemanía XXIV, AAA's biggest annual show.

José Pacheco initially trained under Aspid and Babe Sharon at the local Arena Kalaka in Juárez.

[1] In December 2011 Pagano toured Panama, where he lost a Lucha de Apuestas, or "bet match", to local wrestler Luzbel and was forced to unmask as a result.

[4] In October 2015 Pagano made his debut for Federacion Universal de Lucha Libre (FULL), working with lucha libre legends L.A. Park and Dr. Wagner Jr.[5] He later worked for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) one of Mexico's longest-running promotions.

While the rest of La Familiar Fonteriza continued to work the storyline feud with Los Perros del Mal, Pagano moved off on a tangent, starting a storyline with Psycho Clown, an AAA wrestler who, like Pagano, used a clown ring character.

[13] On July 16, AAA officially announced the match as the main event of Triplemanía XXIV on August 28.

On a TV taping, Pagano teamed with former rival Psycho Clown and El Hijo del Fantasma.

Mesias's most recent street fight was in 2008 at Verano de Escandalo in a steel cage where he lost to Vampiro.

On March 7, 2014, Pacheco made his Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) debut, fighting under the name "Pagano" on a Combate Real show in his native Juárez.
