El Dandy

World Wrestling Association (1993, 2000–2001, 2007) While working for CMLL, El Dandy also wrestled for the World Wrestling Association (WWA) in Tijuana, as he was allowed to take independent bookings on days he was not needed for CMLL shows. El Dandy and Corazón de León defeated Los Cowboys (El Texano and Silver King) to win the WWA Tag Team Championship on July 21, 1993, but lost it back to them 42 days later. His first pay-per-view (PPV) match was as part of the 60-man battle royal main event of World War 3 on November 23. On January 6, 1998, he unsuccessfully challenged Juventud Guerrera for the WCW World Cruiserweight Championship. At Souled Out on January 24, El Dandy, La Parka, Psicosis and Silver King lost to Chavo Guerrero Jr., Guerrera, Lizmark Jr. and Super Caló. At Slamboree on May 17, El Dandy was one of fifteen wrestlers involved in a battle royal where the winner of the match would face Chris Jericho for the WCW World Cruiserweight Championship. During his introductions, Jericho referred to him as the "winner of the Lou Ferrigno look-a-like contest". In early 2000, El Dandy and Silver King competed under the name Los Fabulosos, defeating XS (Lane and Rave) on March 21 in their first televised match under that name.

Mexican independent circuit (2000–2019) El Dandy generally worked for various independent promotions upon returning to Mexico. On October 15, 2004, he lost the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship to L.A. Park, but regained it five months later. His second reign lasted 750 days until Vangelis won the title on April 15, 2007. Later that year, El Dandy pinned El Signo in a seven-man steel cage Lucha de Apuestas, causing El Signo to be shaved bald after the match. The rivals split the first four matches between them, leading to "El Juicio Final" on May 18. El Dandy won the match to force Satánico to be shaved bald. Twelve days later, in what was billed as his last match, El Dandy defeated Satánico one more time. While the 2014 tour was meant to be his retirement, El Dandy returned to the ring on November 8, 2015, for CMLL, as he and Negro Casas defeated Mr. Niebla and Satánico. He would also work a limited schedule, with four matches in 2016 and one in both 2017 and 2019.

International Wrestling Revolution Group (2000–2004) El Dandy began working for the Naucalpan-based International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) in 2000. His first match on July 6 saw him, Ciclon Ramirez, Kato Kung Lee and Super Parka lose to Bombero Infernal, Dr. Cerebro, Mosco de la Merced and Super Crazy. On February 8, 2002, he failed to win Scorpio Jr.'s IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship. He was one of eight wrestlers who put his hair on the line in a multi-man Lucha de Apuestas; Suicida lost the match and his hair. He, Máscara Maligna, Máscara Sagrada and Perro Aguayo Jr. faced off in a steel cage match where the last person in the ring would either be forced to unmask or have their hair shaved off. Neither Dandy nor Aguayo were involved in the finish, in which Maligna lost and was unmasked.

Reception During El Dandy's days in EMLL, Wrestling Observer Newsletter founder Dave Meltzer stated that El Dandy was one of the "three best workers" in EMLL. In 1997, Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) ranked him at #167 in their "top 500" for the year. His 2004 match against L.A. Park was voted the "Match of the year" by readers of Box y Lucha magazine.
